If TA was being honest with himself, he would have taken DC's account of the chain of events into consideration first and foremost. TA on the Pulp show called DC the #1 guy in the sport and if that is the case and he really respects DC on that level, why not hear his side, let that be the benchmark and take everything from there. You claim all the "piling on" is unacceptable and that nobody was hurt and the race outcome was not affected, but you cant be 100% sure on that. RV's GoPro shows the start of the race, are you claiming he wasn't distracted? What about Malcolm? In a sport where the 1st-3rd riders are separated by hundredths of seconds, what expert in the field are you to judge that? Matthes was threatened with great bodily harm, he was threatened with lawsuits, along with DC and MX Sports, what was acceptable about that?
Matthes had all the evidence he needed to report what he did and in the end, he was 100% correct yet you have the nerve to say the reporters are biased, they're piling on and the snowball the occurred is wrong. You can't be serious, all of this was 1000% avoidable if the person responsible would have come forward the minute he was caught. Instead, that person cried foul, played the victim and made the entire industry prove it which they did and now, he finally breaks and confesses. You're a complete moron for even siding with or defending him............Jeff fucked up, BAD and the snowball that transpired was a direct result of him and only him, NOBODY else. Now, his brother, his brothers team and sponsors and his father are all paying the price for his actions, straight up undeniable fact. Please, find me ANYTHING biased or unacceptable about that. Jeff was guilty the minute DC approached and caught him, as DC did his due diligence prior to doing so. Everything that transpired after that was classic Alessi family behavior(sorry MA) and was complete BS for everyone involved, but you go ahead with your unacceptable biased posts. Perhaps you could be the fill in Team Mgr for Alessi and MotoConcepts, best of luck with that.
Speaking of apologies that is great Jeff Alessi has issued his apology and the show can go on.
To the anonymous Vitard who said my post was related to my issues with DC two things:
1) WTF?
2) While I respect your opinion the reality is DC and I had a clearing of the air at the Phoenix SX. Matter of fact traded e mails with him Tuesday after I gave him a heads up he's in the August issue of MXA on page 149. Great issue all the way around especially the article on 20 things you can do to your 250cc KTM two stroke.
EDIT: Just posted the above response and saw your reply Rizzo.
RV said himself the laser had nothing to do with his start as he got a good jump off the gate. Nice rant BTW.
The Shop
Go back to acting like your ignoring me.
RV actually said it couldn't have helped...
I'd put money on it that the next two things DC says, you'll disagree with at least one....
Pot meet kettle much?
Mike should give Jeff a kick in his nuts with baseball shoes.
That's my little man view from my keyboard .
Edit - That's if Motoconcepts really are throwing the towel in obviously.
So whats this about last year? Alessi was running Eks frames with Motoconcepts straps?
Pit Row
sometimes he hits it right on the head, other times it's like he was hit on the head before posting.
lately it's been the latter.
A) Clean out the Alessi's, every last one of them, distance yourself from them.
B ) Hire Weston P...you'll get better SX results and, at least this year, similar results outdoors...plus no drama and a clean,
sponsor friendly , image.
Problem solved.
If not supporting negativity IE the piling on with Lasergate (50 pages WTF!) or being a fan of racers with the means to use PEDs getting yet another advantage then I'm proud to appear to have been hit in the head with a hammer before some of my recent posts.
For the record I have never spoken to Tony Alessi and have only had limited interaction with both Jeff and Mike. What happened at Washougal was definitely wrong but for someone that has worked as hard as Mike Alessi has I just hated to see all the mudslinging. Mike Alessi has had terrible luck and I'd love to see how his seasons had gone at Hangtown if he hadn't crashed in practice right after setting the fastest lap time at Hangtown or when he cracked his kneecap before Mt Morris. This sport is beyond brutal and these guys have such a short shelf life. I hope Mike Alessi has a strong finish to his season.
On PEDs DV12 made a good point about PEDs aren't going to make a guy who is a 5 to 10th place guy a winner but this isn't the real issue. The issue is riders in the top five who are using them as they are definitely at an advantage over someone in the top five that is clean. For those of you that feel lack of naming racers is a big issue more power to you but I guess you don't know any mechanics, team managers or industry people otherwise you'd be aware this topic isn't based on false rumors. BTW,let me know if you need any tissues to clean your rose colored glasses to get the sand off them.
But seriously folks there are health consequences to PEDs and racers will have to "pay" enough for their involvement in the sport (injuries) as they get older without having to deal with issues related to PEDs.
I'm expressing my opinions here and as my buddy Todd says "you're welcome to disagree" and that's cool.
You see "whining baby", I see a sponsor rep pulling a sponsorship because of a team manager/sponsored athlete's dad going after him like that. Sponsorships have been lost for not running the right logos on your bike.
