I totally agree. We have been told so often to deny our emotions. Seeing them unleashed is a beautiful thing. I am stoked for him.

Nutty. I thought he ran straight over the gate at first. Congrats to him. He definitely deserves one of those. RV was hauling the mail though.

He rode well. People have to understand that is a small but big accomplishment for Mike. Lots of hardwork!

I got the feeling that it was less about one heat win and more about overcoming years of frustration. Good for him.

A heat race win in that class is a huge accomplishment for anyone, Sure it's not the end goal but still huge.

For sure! It look like he lost just a teeny bit of time on a shift otherwise he woulda been even further ahead than he was.

Definately the John Force of dirt bikes.

I agree, major props to Mike!

A main event win here would be a shirt off lap through the crowd followed by air guitar in the booth (\m/), and lastly hunting down DD. Whistling

I think this is exactly what happened. 10 years of frustration in supercross, and he just had his first win.

That's a huge milestone and mental win for him.

I was yelling at my tv, "c'mon Alessi, you got this." Awesome stuff.

My dad couldn't believe it; that was a holeshot from hell! Is Ron Hamp still building motors for them? Knew they used to but was wondering if he still did or if they have another motor guy???

I've had a chance over the last year to meet and talk with Mike a few times, the guy is all heart and lives moto 24/7/365.
Good for him letting it out and showing what it means.

Mike does seem a nice cool guy for sure. BUT damn... He had to go and choke super hard in the main lol. It kinda cheapens his heat win, was all based on a luck holeshot and luck that RV choked etc. I guess as they say " a wins a win" but I just cant bring myself to be much of a fan of the alessis.. way overdramatic always. I dont like riders who block or ride dirty of any sort. not a big fan of men balling their eyes out either. Besides the guys probably a millionaire im sure his life hasnt been that tough. My family couldnt even afford to buy 1 motocross bike for me when I got too big for my 1 and only bike... Im sure alessis had daddy spend hundreds of thousands on him.

anyways. bitter me i know. Smile

wah.

Just as an FYI.....Tony Alessi worked for a trash company when the boys started racing and paid for their racing by working as an announcer and writing stories for Cycle News back when they used to pay you for that.

They didn't have "hundreds of thousands" to spend on bikes....they earned it.
Perhaps if you worked as hard as they do you would have gotten that second bike?

Life is a bitter pill, don't make it worse by shitting on people that do well.

It's easier to see with tears in your eyes than lasers.
