It doesn't have a damn thing to do with "buying" it. Its more a case of not wanting to kick a man while he is down after he took the first step to try and fix the mess he created. Regardless of his reasoning for apologizing its a start. People don't have to forget, but they also don't need to keep bashing the guy. He apologized to the only people who were owed it. They and Jeff will sort it out from here.

It's great that you've apologized Jeff, but I'm gonna be straight up with you.

We've been hearing for years that you were going to get your shit together, you even put your life in the lords hands. Yet it keeps getting worse, maybe it's more than you're equipped to handle by yourself. Find someone to tell you story too and I hope it all works out for you.

Ok just to clarify:

--Jeff Alessi deliberately shines a green laser into the eyes of his brother's number one rival going back over a decade. It is Ryan Villopoto who gets the laser in the face and not any one of the other 39 riders on the line. Forget Malcom, that was long before the start of the race.

--He does this at precisely the most critical moment of the race--when the board goes sideways before the gate drops.

--He then blatantly lies about this deliberate act to anyone who will listen, even trying to drag other team members in to support his lies, while throwing his "ex" girlfriend under the bus.

--When Steve Matthes accurately reports the truth about Davey Coombs catching him red-handed, he doubles down on his lies allowing his father and team owner to back him up while he threatens violence to Matthes.

--He then spends several days using social media sites to continue to protest his innocence even after video and photographic proof show his guilt beyond any doubt whatsoever.

--A person whose true identity is unknown writes a perfectly worded press release labeled an "apology" which bears no resemblance to past writings of Jeff Alessi and posts it using Jeff Alessi's user name here on Vital MX. A press release that contains the statement, "I had no intent to harm either rider or affect their results." Right.

And now that 72 hours have passed, mostly filled with continued denials and even more bizarre accusations against the powers that be, we've got 4 pages of everyone falling all over themselves trying to sound more magnanimous then the last guy about how "we've all screwed up" and "it's time to forgive and move on" and "good for you Jeff, now you're a man."

Are you kidding me?

If you have ever watched this family in person it is a clusterfuck. Tony has been a Psycho moto dad from the beginning. It's time to set your father free Mikey. Maybe then you will see your professional career develop and a bonus not have your father eyeing your girl any more....a little creepy.

Had there not been such damning evidence (pics & video) the bullshit story would have been ridden to the grave.
An apology soon after would have held some weight........at this stage its done because there is no other option.

To all those who think Jeff didn't write this: are you kidding ME?

If you have ever read anything Jeff has written it would be more than obvious that he did indeed write this and like he said, it was proof read and edited by his girlfriend.

I have no opinion on everything else you wrote pilotdude.

For what it's worth, I personally appreciate Jeff's admission and apology for the incident he triggered at Washougal with the laser and I really hope everyone can move forward, especially Mike Alessi, who has had to endure a lot of unfortunate and harsh criticism. I am also glad to hear that Mike Genova and Motoconcepts.com has decided to stay with his athlete and team for the rest of the season, as they are a big part of the sport and have done a great deal for motocross.

Thank you, Jeff. I hope everyone can start moving forward and start focusing on the racing again.

This is a start.... But you have cost your brother everything, the one thing he excels at is outdoor motocross! You put your father in a position to make himself look like an idiot after he has been busting his ass to make this team successful... Apologies are a great start but man, you have to get your shit together! If you would have taken responsibility from the get go this would have never gotten to this point!
