Alessi needs to say the truth, everyone else sucks at starts LMAO
The Shop
Who cares if the bleacher pussies are crying
When he did his stadium interview you could sense the awkwardness in his voice and how he was trying his best to be professional........then he had to face it again when he accepted the holeshot award after the main event.
.........I'll say it again, all of you assholes who were booing should be ashamed of yourselves.
Hope he uses this as motivation and kills it outdoors this year. Really would like to see him contend for the title. He's got the talent and speed, just needs to keep it together for the entire season and avoid the distractions.
And before I start, I want to address a few things. Is he talented? You bet he is. Did Mike ride well? No, he rode phenomenally (until his crash in the main). Do I think he has what it takes to win a main? Probably. He's definitely getting the speed and confidence to do so.
I booed Mike Alessi when he was called for his heat race win. Here is why.
Ever since Glen Helen of '05, I have not been a fan of him (I didn't watch his amateur career, so I have no clue about prior to that incident). Sure, he was a kid then, but this has been going on for ages, and it's the entire Alessi family (besides his mother, but I'm unaware of any scandal that involves her so
"He's a product of his upbringing." That is such an astoundingly stupid excuse to make for him. Yeah, he was raised inappropriately to think that the stuff he does is okay, but he's an adult. Until people stop making excuses for him like he is a child, he will not stop acting as such.
The best part of the whole situation is that Tickle put it behind him. True professional right there. But that doesn't mean that I can forgive him, as a fan and a rider. It's like if a school bully comes up and spits in your cup of water. If you forgive him, does that make it any less ridiculous? Nah. Maybe that's why I'm a slow C-class rider
Okay, now that I'm done with my rant, I just wanted to say that I'm not trying to start a flame war. This forum is freaking AWESOME. The race coverage is fantastic and the community within Vital is outstanding. This is just my 2 cents, cut and dry. I so badly want to like Alessi, but I find it harder and harder with each incident.
Lastly, I was NOT one of the fans who have given death threats/ hoping for injury/ accidental death comments to Alessi's social media OR to anybody in real life. If you wish that on someone, YOU are the one that is sick in the head.
TLDR Alessi is a fast rider and has loads of potential, but I think he deserved the booing.
Great heat race interview too, nice hearing someone speak from the heart on the podium instead of reading their cue cards.
Genova knows what he is doing by backing this kid
Pit Row
Alessi brings the shit on himself though.
This will blow over in a couple weeks. MX fans are a cruel, fickle bunch but they eventually will get over it.
Look how hated RC was at one time. Of course being the most dominant rider in history helped erase the bad publicity.
Did anybody notice Alessi didn't look back, and actually raced the guys around him in the main? It's like he's been reading Vital.
And KennyT, this was my first post. It's not like it's a habitual occurrence.
Keep on posting and never hold back....just don't boo Mikey anymore because it's just not nice, it puts u right n there with the monster truck crowd
He's handled it well but certainly doesn't need to go to bat for Alessi for cleaning him out.
Alessi's have made their bed over the years.....let them lie in it.
Kenny: I know what you mean about the monster truck crowds. Loved em as a kid, but going to a show now is just a terrible headache
Sorry that I misinterpreted your meaning
Plus the fact that whatever on track mistakes Mike has made over his career if you met him you will find he is one of the nicest riders that have ever graced the pits.
