Ryan O Show Dungey "N" Micky Holeshot Alessi on fire at A2 80's

Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Ryan Dungey picked up
his second AMA Supercross Lites victory of the 2008 season at
Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on Saturday night. In the
second of three Anaheim rounds, Dungey had a picture-perfect
evening. The 18-year-old rider won his sixlap qualifying race at
the start of the evening and then finished the night with a victory
in the 15-lap main. Dungey also won the season-opening round at
the first Anaheim race two weeks ago. Three races into the
season, Dungey continues to lead the championship points race.

In the Supercross class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Mike Alessi
captured his second consecutive holeshot of the season in the 20-
lap main event. Alessi charged hard on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki
RM-Z450 and brought home a fourth-place finish. This is Alessi’s
best result of the season so far. Teammate David Vuillemin won
the Last Chance Qualifier and then had a bit of bad luck in the
main when he stalled his bike. Even so, his 11th-place finish
improved his overall standings in the championship points race.

“The first couple of practices were decent today. The whole team
and I were working on getting the bike better for the heat and we
definitely got it set up the right way. We won the heat race, taking
the lead on the last lap, and it was great to get that win but the
main is what counts. In the main, I got a good start and was in
second for about five laps. Then I got in first… It was tough,
though, I was struggling a little but I dug deep and worked
through it. The RM-Z250 worked great and the whole Rockstar
Makita Suzuki team did a great job.”

Mike Alessi
“It was a good race, partly because I’ve been trying to improve a
little every weekend. Two sixths and now a fourth – I’m just
gradually getting better every week. In the heat race, I got a
good start and was riding well and had a good flow and came in
second. In the main, I got a killer jump and a big holeshot. Then,
I was in second for a few laps and then third, but I could tell the
rider behind me was catching me. I tried to fight back but I
couldn’t get him. I started to push it a little toward the end and
made a little mistake. So I thought, I’m riding good here in fourth,
nobody’s behind me so I put it on cruise control and kept being
consistent. The RM-Z450 is running great, and my mechanic and
everybody on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team are doing a great
job, as always.” full story on teamsuzuki.com
