Mike Alessi has had an amazing career racing for the Red Bull
KTM Team the over the past three seasons. Third in the 2005
AMA Motocross Lites class, second in 2006, and in what may
be his most impressive finish yet; second after moving to the
premier Motocross class in 2007, Mike is right there knocking
on the door to take his first AMA Pro Championship.
What impresses most about Mike’s 2007 Motocross campaign
was that he was on a completely new bike (after racing the
250F is supercross); and in his first full season on the 450. If
you look at his finishes this past summer, he may have started
off at Hangtown slightly off the leader's pace, but by mid
season he was a contender for the win. Now with the 19-year
old moving to the Makita Rockstar Suzuki Team, and based on
his success at the recent US Open, I even expect bigger and
better things from him! I recently caught up with the
Californian in between practice sessions to collect his thoughts
about where he’s at. interview on amamotocross.com - pic
