Was thinking about this the other day, have we ever seen a rider that could consistently pull holeshots week after week? And the thing with Alessi is that when he doesn't get the holeshot, he is nearly always top 3.

No matter what you think of him, He is by far the best starter in SX/MX. If he could just hold onto that lead he would dominate.

IMO: He is the best starter the sport has ever seen.

From what I have read...they keep logs/notes on previous gate picks ect.
He has turned it into a science. Smile

Semics was really good (at least that's what he tells me, lol), but I think Wymann Priddy was supposed to be the best of all time. Also, MC and Emig got great starts race after race after race in their heyday.

That was my thought as well about MC. He always seemed to be ahead of the trouble.

Kyle Lewis was pretty impressive when it came to starts. You could almost always count on him being up front of the start those last few years of racing.
