MIKE ALESSI
Mike Alessi has quietly been surging upwards in the past month of racing. Mike has been training hard throughout the season and during the offseason to improve his supercross game and it is starting to pay off. In the last five races he has been in the
top eleven four times. This is after he only finished a best of thirteenth in the first ten races of the series.
He even pulled out a heat race win in St. Louis which even a lot of the top guys in the class have struggled to do consistently this season. So it is clear his work his paying off and his Smart Top Motoconcepts team has to be loving it. His starts are still as great as ever so he is always putting himself in favorable position that certainly helps out in the realm of supercross. Mike missed the round in East Rutherford last year but in the first ever race in Metlife Stadium
in 2014, he busted out a seventh place finish which was one of his best rides of the year. Will we see a similar performance this year?
