CE QUE J'AIME CHEZ MOTOCROSS ACTION...

qui se situe meme presque parfois a la limite du leche boules

plus que limite, le Paulin il doit en avoir des irritations!

Irremplaçables, les gonzes de MX Action, définitivement. J'adore.

"This is a unique silly season story that involves millionaires, last chances, twitter, one last chance to be relevant and a requisite Frenchman
Mike Alessi is a catch for the MotoConcepts team. He is a bonafide top five AMA National rider—a something that MotoConcepts hasn't had before.
MotoConcepts is one of three American motocross teams that could rightly be called a “vanity team.” What is a vanity team? It is a team that is owned by a millionaire, who is basically spending his money to fulfill a personal dream. The other two significant vanity teams are Valli Motorsports and L&M Racing.
There are many different types of race teams—all designed to get riders on the track and achieve a stated goal. Vanity teams differ from factory teams (which are formed to sell motorcycles and are represented currently by Honda, KTM and Kawasaki), satellite teams (which are supported by the factory and outside sponsors—like Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Yoshimura Suzuki, Geico Honda and Joe Gibbs Yamaha), privateer teams (which are funded by aggregate sponsorship from a variety of sources) and private-funded teams (which are built solely to support a single rider like Chad Reed, Nick Wey or Jason Lawrence). It takes a lot of creativity to get the millions of dollars it takes to keep the circus moving.
MIKE ALESSI’S BOAT
Mike Alessi found himself in the same boat this year as Chad Reed did last year—with no place to go. Not because Mike isn’t talented, but because his unique blend of skill, personality and entourage wasn’t in demand for 2012. After leaving Team KTM last month, Mike was on the verge of going the Chad Reed route for 2012. He was going to form his own Alessi Racing team and fund his own team.
As luck would have it, MotoConcepts was also on the cusp of its racing life. Although a viable team—with support from Yamaha and funding from a millionaire, they had nothing to show for the money they had spent. In fact, during the 2011 season, they missed events (because of rider injuries), manned their team with fill-in riders and their team manager was left with little to do beside troll the internet and machine gun out tweets daily, hourly and by the minute. It was, as one of the other millionaire team managers once said, “like putting $3,000,000 in a pile and lighting it on fire.”
The solution for Moto Concepts? Get out of the game or up their game. For 2012, MotoConcepts will unify its team with Mike Alessi’s fledgling team—in an attempt to be relevant. It could work. It gives a vagabond team a chance at a potential top five rider—and maybe even an outdoor victory. That is a chance they haven’t had in the past.
MotoConcepts owner Mike Genova said, “Unquestionably, Mike Alessi brings an increased level of attention to our team. The interest and chatter from the media and fans since the rumors started are greater than we could have anticipated. Furthermore, I believe in Mike and Tony Alessi, I think their work ethic and commitment is second to none and they are the most genuine people I know.”
As for the 2012 season, Mike Alessi will race a Suzuki RM-Z450 in the 2012 AMA Supercross and National series. No word on any other MotoConcepts riders, although they had announced a few weeks ago that they were hiring Jake Canada for 2012."

"Wow. I am not sure what I'm more blown away with, your ignorance and lack of understanding of racing and the race teams, or the lack of understanding of who MotoConcepts is as a race team or a manufacturer of motorcycle products that in the PAST has paid your fledging magazine money to advertise in.
Or maybe I'm more perplexed that in a very weak and shaky racing economy where the factory teams are pulling out and riders like Chad Reed have to come out of their own pockets a million dollars net to go racing, why you or anybody would disrespect me, my team and my efforts to support and enhance the sport, or for that matter the other teams that you talked down to in your article.
Allow me to enlighten you on a couple of facts that I really thought you would have already understood. In the sport of mx/sx every team is a, as you so disrespectfully termed it a "vanity" team. Teams like JGR and others are no different than MotoConcepts. Not one team, not one bike manufacturer, not anybody is making money racing other than the promoters. So in reality, every team is racing for some kind of attention, emotion, enjoyment or other motivation other than financial gain. My point is obviously proven by the fact that the motorcycle manufacturers sales are not correlated to race performance and hence their financial commitment to racing is shrinking at a rate that points to discontinue.
In response to your ridiculousy stupid and inaccurate comment that I am just some rich guy (who probably, in your opinion made money playing the lotto) that sends money down to my race team in Cali, implying who knows what, couldn't be more wrong. Myself and my staff are very hands on, and work very hard to create a team and a product company that is professional and successful in an industry that is chalked full of back stabbing, under handed, inexperienced, lying and more, riders, agents, sponsors and even journalists. I could say more but I won't.
So my question to you is why someone in your position would choose to use the term "circus" when referring to the sport and or the teams that invest all the hard work, effort and money that it takes. Why you would imply that it's wrong move or bad thing for the sport or the riders to have fill in riders. Or how you know MotoConcepts is in any shape or form "is on the cusp of their racing life". Or, what the hell is a vagabond team and why you think you have the right to publicly label my team that.
Your journalist effort is not only disrespectful, rude, irresponsible, unfounded, nonfactual, ignorant and destructive to MotoConcepts and a great rider in Mike Alessi but is also slanderous.
For those who applaud you for saying it like it is, their wrong. You don't have a clue how things really are.
By the way, the only thing resembling the circus here is you the "clown"."

le probléme c'est que la reponse est pleine de fautes d'orthographes faites pour décrédibiliser la réponse (tu peux en croire mon expertise experte d'utilisateur de la phote)
La suggestion MA800/MC et un peu tournée en team SDF (rebus=vagabond), les déchets du bord de route laissés pour compte qui se retrouvent...il manque un numéro 338 pour compléter le team.

 et voilà pas la rumeur !? Alessi annoncé chez JGR ! ... classe non ?

Au fil des ans, Motocross Action s'est beaucoup assagi et balance nettement moins de vacheries... Mais de temps à autres, au détour d'une phrase, on se marre encore...
"Stewart appears to have no options at any of the big teams for next year. It is unlikely that he will stay on a Suzuki, but that just leads to the joke about him having trouble staying on a Suzuki normally."
Ca sent bon le Jody...

Le photographe Tony Blazier, très branché vintage, a eu la bonne idée de mettre en ligne le numéro complet de Motocross Action... daté de Novembre 1976.
