MotoConcepts Racing: Mike Alessi Update

SPOKANE, WA (April 24, 2013) - MotoConcepts Racing by Smartop rider Mike Alessi will miss the remaining two rounds of the AMA Supercross season. Alessi will not be racing the Salt Lake or Las Vegas rounds in order to dedicate testing time on his MCR450 for the Nationals.

“It’s a unique situation whereby we have new technology for the 450 that requires a great deal of attention and testing time to develop,” explains Team Manager Tony Alessi. “Mike had decent results in the Supercross series but our goals for the Nationals are much higher. The team needs additional testing to best develop the 450 technology, and all of us, from Mike, to the team, to our sponsors want to be back on the podium.”

Hell yea! That's what I'm talking about. Can't wait for this guy to get up there where he belongs.

Maybe if him and Stewart practice together enough he'll put a yellow front fender on that bike.

Anyway to the 4 guys i bet with, I was planning on paying my first payday after Vegas which was the 16th of May if that's okay. I still think he could have got on the podium in the last 2 races....at least he made it out of Supercross in one piece. Sorry for the delay but the season doesn't actually end until the 4th or something like that.

Quitter. Right?

Not really I suppose. He should do Nationals only for rest of his career. Not that he'll win the Championship, ever.

Is everyone now that can't be in the top going to start quitting early?

Sounds more like, "We know that he's not going to really make any waves in SX, so we don't want him to get hurt and ruin our top 5 chances outdoors."

Which is fine...

He got 6th last race man, pretty damn good for a team with no factory support. He beat Dungey a moto last year, idiot. You ever ride at Monster Mountain? Holler if you do I want to check out your mad skills big mouth.

That goes in line with my thinking as well. Pretty obvious, that's is the place where he shines. I actually picture some podiums.

I dig MCR commitment to the sport and for me its even more evident since he gave the MA/TA duo a second chance, when a majority seemed pretty fed up. I'm still bummed about the Pourcel deal went sour though, I could have been epic...

Always a butt hole......., you going to be alright getting paid on 5/16? If not let me know. I just put all my money in my truck and i'm going out of town first of May so i'm short until then. We can do the same bet again for Nationals if you want.

Should all of the other racers who aren't 1-5 places or maybe even 1-10 places quit too?

Would alessi a outdoor specialist be more $uccesful doing the gps? I always wonder how he would stack up against the gp guys. SX is definitely not his forte.

I give you a chance at breaking even with me. How about double or nothing on one moto win this summer for Alessi?

If he gets one moto win we're even.

He won't be anywhere near the box if RV JS RD JB DW DM CR all stay healthy.

Why the heck shouldn't he take the last two races off? Should he stay out there and risk getting hurt for inbred haters like you?

Yeh we will see about that. 5 of the guys you named are more likely to have a couple DNFs then MA to not make a podium in 24 races.

Thats like all the ppl saying JS7 wouldnt win a race in SX this year ha...
