Team tactics @ the Glen Helen USGP....
Come on....
Cairoli staying with the Alessi's the past week.
Both on the KTM team.
Only one racing the series (The winner).
Both on the new 350.
One Mr. Stefan Everts running the show (Grand Prix's) for KTM,
plus doesn't like the Alessi's.
Mike is Mr. Glen Helen (Look @ his lap times from yesturday to today).
1st moto... Was a very close 2nd (make it look good).
2nd moto... Look how easy he got by both Cairoli and Desalle Clement close to
the end of the moto, then all of a sudden he's behind Cairoli by 7sec. (too obvious).
Cairoli scores the overall and most importantly points.
Lets get Mikey...He'll do anything!

Mike rode great, but let's be realistic here. Cairoli was even faster than him, riding in 3rd gear for 20 minutes.
I guess you proved him right...
But do I believe that he was helping him out intentionally? No. If he was trying to play team tactics, he'd have worked harder to keep Desalle behind him.

If I had to bet one way or another I personally think KTM just let them race and let the cards fall where they may and Mikey was 2nd best today.
But yeah it would of been awesome. I think Ben would of easily passed Cairoli and went away if Mikey didn't hit him. Ben had the fastest lap of the race and seemed to just be getting warmed up. BT has pretty much done all his testing since he came back to the US at GH and it showed. As opposed to how he looked at Hangtown last week he looked smooth,fast and in control at GH. At hangtown last week I'm not sure if it was bike set up or nerves but he was all over the place. Not to mention he hit the ground a few times because of it. Either way AC was the best man today.
I do think that BT may have passed AC in the first heat if MA didn't hit him.
But i do really doubt that BT would have had the strengh and power to go full speed for two heats. I would say he probably would have won the first heat, but wouldn't have had the power to repeat it in the second heat.
In the case as it was yesterday, he was kind of rested in the second moto because he quit halfway through heat one.
Just a thought, we will never know!
About Max Nagl... He was contracted to race the KTM 450f just in case the 350f didn't work out. (Its all about selling the 350f and make their/all 450f's obsolete)
Also.. If Alessi would of stayed in 2nd (No way catching Ben Townley) in the 2nd moto,
Alessi would of got the overall.
Remember... Alessi was close to losing his ride (Stefan Everts was very unhappy with the Alessi camp). What better way to make him happy with Cairoli 1st Mike 2nd.
Also.. What does Mike really have to benifit personally from winning? Its not like there's purse money, and or bonuses, No TV coverage, not a lot of spectators.
Its sad, because Mike has been a puppet thourghout his career (family and teams).
Mike will show everyone next week that he doesn't fade in the hot Texas heat!
Pit Row
Ya, just like he help CR22 with the Supercross championship.
It doesn't get any better than that..
Mike will show everyone in the outdoors that he is the fastest 450f rider.....
Then take it everyone @ The Motocross de Nations in Colorado....
and yes...I'll be attending!
If Tony Alessi knows or even think that his son lose deliberated then he will rip him in pieces. Because that guy is freaky!
And be honest or European guys just beat one of your top Americans it's normal that you are grieving and that it hurts and if it makes you feel better to talking crap then you properly need to do that than. Have fun lying to your self ;-) Telling your self it were teamtactics and you can repeat it as much you want till the day we meet again and we own you guys again.
Oh life is beautiful if you are in the winning team.
And by the way ... Last year first race MXDN (the only fair race without big start crash) ... National Champ versus World champion ... Guess what World champion on top!
