Wise people? People that have never made mistakes?
Gang mentality that loves to jump on the beaten whenever the opportunity arises. The guy came here to give an apology and the "wise" people should either accept it or move along. To continue the criticism even after he makes his first attempt to take responsibility for his actions should not be met with the reactions some of you are giving.
If you do truly understand the position you put DC, Mike Genova, Moto Concepts and your sponsors in, I am sure that they will all accept your apology and allow you to make amends. Put your head down and work hard and you can grow from this. Everyone makes mistakes, but a person is defined not by his mistakes, but by how he deals with them.

At the end of the day he's thrown a massive turd at the fan and there's only so much that can be cleared up..
Sheep? Now that's for the non moto section and all the loons who think our president is doing all the good.

2 days ago most of these guys wanted to hang him...now they're holding him high, because of a well written letter? Give me a break....
I am sure he is feeling guilty right now, but time will tell if he really wants to improve himself or just escape the shit storm.
My sympathy is for Mike. There have been enough warnings but if this isn't enough to give him the courage to stand on his own 2 feet and finally ditch the circus then I'm afraid he will go the way of Jeff and Tony. His choice. And it won't end when he retires from the sport.
This doesn't affect me or most everyone else on this board, but I'm sure there are people in the industry that may have more of an interest in these events and, unfortunately, an apology doesn't erase what happened. It's a start, I suppose.
Again, this is something that had to come out no matter who wrote it, but the actions themselves prove that Team Alessi will do whatever it takes to screw with RV- even if they are not even close to him on the track or in the points.....It must be such a hard pill to swallow to see their arch rival be the poster boy for SX/MX and have so much success while Team Alessi sits back and flounders from team to team.....
But in the end Newman said it best; it's all pretty stupid, childish and got blown way out of porportion. Alessi's are damaged goods and winners are always going to rise above adversity. It may be interesting for us has-beens that never-were to entangle ourselve in another Alessi soup opera, but I guarantee you this the only effect on Ryan was it was some shitty roost he delt with before that gate dropped and he did it the way he's handled everything, twisting hard and chasing down the pack. I do hope both Mikes can also rise above this shit..

If anybody has a "Dog In This Fight" it would be Mr. Coombs.
You don't even have a dog in this fight, so your opinion is like alot others on this subject, "who gives a shit!"
Move on Brutha.

In reality, all that matters is how he handles himself in the days to come. I'm not sure there are many people on this board who have their neck out on whether Jeff learns from this and makes better choices. The extent of most folks' stake in this is whether they get to throw more stones. The people who have to depend on Jeff can hold him accountable for his sincerity.
IMHO the best way to move on would be to contact Davey and ask what he can do to help out with the next few round. Putting up banners, corner working, picking up trash, doesn't matter. Just show him that you are in it for the interest of the sport. Jeff needs to show that he can be accountable for his actions and that he is sorry. Actions speak louder than words, and your previous actions aren't showing too well right now.
Take the bull by the horns and step up to the plate. I think you'll be surprised by the support you get if people feel like you WANT to improve things. Look at other racers who have fallen away (Jlaw, anthony gobert) that were given many opportunities to succeed. People want to see other succeed and I think Mike has done a good job of just putting his head down and doing his best. Take some time to figure out what you need to do to make things right...
whole thing makes me sick
The same DC that Tony said they filed assault charges against?
And just as Tony begins his 2 year plan to take down MXSports and it's mysterious drug ring?
