MotoConcepts Racing: NEW JERSEY Report

SPOKANE, WA (June 8, 2014) – Last weekend it was MotoConcepts Racing’s Mike Alessi scoring his first win at the opening round of the Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals in Nanaimo, BC. Yesterday, it was Alessi’s MX2 teammate Vince Friese earning his first win on Canadian soil at Round 2 of the series in Kamloops, BC.

Friese didn’t just win in Kamloops; he dominated MX2 racing action, grabbing two holeshot’s, setting the fastest lap times and sweeping both Moto’s comfortably over second-place (who was Jeremy Medaglia in the first Moto and Austin Politelli in the second). Friese earns 50-perfect-points and moves up to third in the MX2 standings, only 12 points behind first-place.

In the MX1 division, Mike Alessi once again showed he’s the man to beat, but a slight misjudgment in the first Moto cost him five positions and the overall win.

“It was a total beginner move,” said Alessi in a post-race interview on DirectMotocross.com. “I over jumped the finish line, went off the track and couldn’t re-enter where I went off. I waited for the guys to come around the next corner but unfortunately got docked for it.”

Mistakes happen and it certainly caused a blow to Alessi and MotoConcepts Racing, as it drops Alessi from first to sixth in the Moto and costs him 15 championship points. Regardless, he and the team soldiered on and put forth another great effort in the final race. After grabbing his second holeshot in four Moto’s this year, Alessi held half of the race before taking second behind Colton Facciotti.

“I was riding good up to about 15 minutes, and then had a bit of a (bike) problem and that was all we had for that Moto but still salvaged a second,” he adds.

Alessi remains in the MX1 title hunt, sitting third-place in the series, only 13 points out of first. The series continues this weekend at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary, Alberta.
