Dorklessi

It’s well known that Mike Alessi made an ass of himself at Hangtown. Not sure how many of you read Racerhead over at RacerX but the portion of the latest written by Steve Cox has some pretty funny things in it. Check it out here. The short of it is that even though Alessi only won the 2nd moto and not the overall he pulled his bike up onto the podium, a spot reserved for the OA winner, and had to be asked to move. Then in the post race press conference Alessi made numerous comments about how he “demolished” the rest of the field. When it was Chad Reed’s turn to talk the first thing he said was "I won, right? I won the overall? I was almost confused by listening to that…."

So, as a fan, there are plenty of reasons to not like Alessi. However, I’ve got another and it’s much less substantial. It’s quite bitchy of me in fact. .. I can’t stand the “euro” look. The Alpinestars gear, Airoh helmet, and ridiculous goggle lenses... WTF is up with those goggles? Did he snatch up every “iridium” lense from Oakley back in the early 90’s? He should grow a mullet, get some Oakley Blades, and Gucci roll the bottoms of his stonewashed jeans too.

I know. I never have been and never will be as fast as Mike Alessi. The MX Gnome definitely hauls ass. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a loud mouthed little dork. When your alligator mouth and attitude overshadows a ride that great you should really take look at yourself. He’d do well to follow one of my personal 10 commandments. “Never miss a good opportunity to shut the fuck up.”
