Rider of the Week - Mike Alessi

Posted on Jul 1, 2009

After a dominant win at the Freestone national, MIke Alessi had an unfortunate practice crash that resulted in a fractured kneecap. He quickly underwent surgery, and a mere 3 weeks later made his return to the Thunder Valley national. Andy Bowyer sat down with MIke before the motos took to the gate to assess Mike's return and hopes.

hey mx_431, i am a real racer and i know roger and mike personally and having been injured myself during my racing hey day i understand completely what mike is feeling. these are the situations that you have to suck up to become champions in the future, ask hannah, wise,tedesco, stewart, etc. so mx_431 go back to playing mx vs atv on your little xbox and ridin your pw50 in begginner class at cowtown sppeedway in des moines...does mommy know your on the net?

vince 47 aparentley ure not a real mx rider because if u were u would understand mikes point of view. u got to do what ever u can 2 win championships and its not like hes out there pushin his self as hard as he can riding as hard as he can.

Why do none of the vids work???

mike,mike,mike...earth to mike,there are a million people that would kill to have your talents and skills... when i heard you were riding so soon after surgery i couldnt believe you were so foolish to risk further injury and possibly not be ready for super-x in january..nevermind a few nationals.. heck i couldnt believe decoster let you ride...and you looked foolish on the track.. you are going to be a multi-time champion..anyone can see that, just let your wounds heal . OK
