the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship off to a strong
start. While Monster Energy Kawasaki's Chad Reed captured the overall
win in his defense of the 2010 450 Class title, its was Jagermeister
KTM's Mike Alessi who dominated the moto and gave the KTM 350cc
motorcycle its first taste of victory on American soil.

holeshot and leading every lap of moto two, Alessi laid down the
fastest single lap, earning the single bonus point that is available in
the Rockstar Energy Fastest Lap competition that underlies the entire
2010 season. With his lap of 2:15.130, Alessi bettered his 39 opponents
and now sits atop the Rockstar Energy Fastest Lap standings in the
quest to claim the black and diamond 50mm signature Rockwell watch that
will be awarded at Pala Raceway on the final weekend of competition.
