This season has been CRAZY.
BTW, I shattered my knee cap into 8 pieces and had it removed in '84. After a year of therapy and two surgeries, I eventually got 1/6 of my strength back. That's not enough to run, or do triples.
This potentially could be career ending for Alessi, depending on the severity.
I think Reed is very slighly faster than Alessi, but not enough to make up for starting back in the pack while Alessi gets the holeshot.Philip said:What a bummer. We had a blast at Freestone. Alessi was cool and confident. He walked around the facility in the morning talking to people like he was one of the crowd. Reed may have shaved some time off but not when MA was really running, Reed did not have anything for him. I don't know what's missing in Reed's program, b/c he is without a doubt a very gifted rider. He just seems to have something missing. When Alessi turned it up it looked like JS or RC just walking away from him. In the second moto Alessi had a 5 second lead on the green flag lap, Reed just never got going. Anyway we had a blast, I just love the Great Outdoors.
I don't think that takes anything away from Reed. In my opinion, being the fastest in the world doesn't matter if you choose not to compete or crash yourself out trying to prove it.nikki said:Although it will be another one of those championships, where Reed wins while the competition is out (JS, RV, MA). :think:
I'm not really a fan either. Hell, I like RC better than Alessi, and everyone knows how much I like RC (ooh, that wee man with his beady eyes, green short pants and buckle shoes, ooh!)TRexRacing said:Man too bad.i hate to see all that hard work go to waste.I'm not really a fan but still.............

I'll probably go to hell for this, but I'm kinda glad, because now it makes next year better with the bitter rivalry Alessi and Villopoto have. By "bitter rivalry" I mean "outright hatred", of course.
and you gotta love foxforks throwing the Gillooly reference in there!
