IMAGE/WONDERGOAT Mike Alessi is a household name in Motocross racing. Mike had an extremely successful amateur
career where he beat riders like Villopoto and Millsaps many times. Carrying amateur success to the pro ranks seems to be one of the hardest things for many riders, but Mike has made the best of it. He has won races in America but lately has been trying other things to keep the fun going. Mike has shown time and time again that he has the speed to win and is looking to do that again this year. His last full season in American Motocross was in 2013 where he finished 10th overall in points. In 2014, Mike went north to contest in the Canadian Nationals where he ended up 2nd place for the season. After jumping around to many different races last season from MXGP to Canada to USA, Mike endured many injuries and many questions to his career. He was able to push through and is still set that he will race through 2017. He recently landed a factory Kawasaki ride and is now 100% healthy. Mike will once again contest and look to clench the MX1 Canadadian National Championship in 2016.
