He's better at Motocross than Supercross. If he gets through the Supercross season without an injury he'll be up front in the Motocross series.

I read an article where he said he preferred a hot motor for good starts in SX so he could get the holeshot. He also said that that motor set up was harder to ride but he preferred getting a good start than having to pass his way up.

He needs to stay healthy and the outdoor season will be a good one.

Mike would do a lot better if he kept his eyes on the track in front and stopped looking behind him. He's definitely got some skills.

Roger will fix his head and make sure his equipment is as good as it can be. Mike will have to work on the rest.

The dude definitely has a busy “style” compared to the rest of the lead pack. I don’t know if it’s the size of his helmet or what.... but his head always seems to be bucking around. :whoa:

I'm kinda ticked at him for leaving KTM for Suzuki... I wish him nothing but poor finishes this season!

You've still got Nick Wey to root for. ;) His finishes are starting to improve.

Well given Tedesco is out with a broken hand I think you'll get your wish. http://www.racerxill.com/breakingnews/article/4496/tedesco-injury-update.aspx

They were talkig about Alessi - he was the one on KTM.

I think Tedesco's injury was in practice and he did not race.

You can't blame anyone for trying to improve themselves. KTM may make a good bike but they haven't proved it in the US or any other SX races.

Roger that...

RC had better PR when he was at Suzuki. I think DeCoster put him through charm school during his tour at Suzuki.

I can.

For Carmichael, it's the green hat and buckle shoes.

For Alessi, it's his ego, and his head ego stroker, his dad.

Common Pred..... Don't ya think people can change? You notice Decoster shut Alessi Sr up quick and Jr seems much more humble these days. No need to be closed minded..... Do you need a hug.....? :nener:

And what's that Carmichael is always saying about somebody who seems to be after his Lucky Charms?

Ahh so that means you have only been watching the sport for the last year or so :)


As far as alessi I still cant get over how big of a douche he was when he was younger. He is getting more mature and likable, but I have a long memory......
