Mistaken
Talking about his 1 -3 moto scores to finish second overall, Red
Bull KTM’s Mike Alessi would say “during the first moto Grant
made a mistake and I was able to capitalize. In the second moto
I was the one to make a mistake, and I almost went down. I put
my foot in a rut and almost flipped over.”
Clean
“That was one of the coolest things of the day. I don’t know if
anyone else really thought about it, but we were all racing clean
and not trying to take each other out” added Alessi.
Underdog
“There’s really not that much pressure; but yeah I have been in
about this same position three years in a row now. But I’ve
learned a lot – and I am pretty much the underdog now” said
Alessi on his ten point gap to Langston in the Championship
points.
Dislocated
In his last weeks at Red Bull KTM, Jeff Alessi finished top ten in
moto one, but his crash at the start of moto two left him taking a
ride to the Asterisk Mobile Medical Unit. Later Jeff told me that
he had dislocated his shoulder – which was heavily wrapped up.
