You held off the best in the world Team Decoster/Dungey for 7.5 mins and got on the podium, stay healthy and keep it up man, awesome. Dude you rode awesome today man, give yourself credit, stick to your plan man.

From that day I think he was on the 450 the 350 was down, anyway Tony liked the 450 better and was right.
I'll get a picture of the signed Hype shirt up soon, may be the only one in existence, I think Kevin Kelly or what's his name sent it to me.....lol. off topic just got back from the woods, me and SweetPea stirred up a yellow jacket nest, her whole butt was covered like she a had on yellow pants, I picked her up and ran off into the creek with my phone and wallet and got them off her, they tore me up though, maybe thats why I'm rambling lol kind of light headed.
That is a real rare collectors item.
Cool huh? Tons of folks were down on Tony and he was laughing with them, Crazy Mini Dad! If he was the man some idiots portrayed him to be he wouldn't even have signed it, then joked about it. When Mike gets his win I hope Tony gets on the podium with him. We need to roll with this man, Tony bobble heads, Tony T Shirts, that rocks.
Yes 3rd overall is no joke and it was nice to see him on the box. His consistency is there and hope to see him on the top box once this season. But that is a very tall order with how well Dungey is riding.
Pit Row
Haha welcome.
On Mikee. I think he's become a bigger head case than Windham. I'm not trying to bash KW. He is my favorite rider but everyone knows how you never know which KW would show up. I think Mike has zero self confidence, which is exactly what you need at that level of this sport. My theory, and it's just a theory, is that his dad has always told him how terrible he is, as a motivational tool. As an amateur he went out and took it out on the competition, earning his own confidence level. Now, it's been so long since he's been at the very top he doesn't believe he can.
My evidence is, watch him in a race. When he gets the hole shot, which is often now that he's back on a 450, he looks good for a few laps. Focused, determined, and fast. Then, when someone gets a little close, he starts looking around, like he doesn't believe he can hold them off. Several times lately, he's made a big mistake or even looked like he pulled over and let the pressing rider by. How many times has he ever passed his way to the front of a moto since in the pros? Maybe his rookie year when he was on that Varner Honda 450.
I wonder if he could gain the confidence to believe he can go to the front against any competition from 5th or 7th place, if he wouldn't be dominant like RV, or Dungey, or Stewart has been? The guy's got skills, talent, and conditioning.
Oh well, maybe I'm way off?
As for Tony's reputation, I don't think it helps the way Inside the Moto portrays him. Even the brotocross dude wrote that when Tony called him he was being pretty cool with him and talking to him about bike setup and everything.
That's happened to Mike alot over the years, on any bike. Remember at Glen Helen in 2009? Villopoto caught him from 15 seconds down.
2011
2009 Knee cap, then Grant took a cheap shot, ya maybe he shouldn't of been out there, but you can't knock his desire to Moto!
2008
His season was cut short in San Diego during the sixth round of the 2008 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. During the second practice session, Alessi crashed in the whoops section of the track resulting in a broken collarbone.
In September 2008, three months before the beginning of the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series, Alessi broke his fibula and tibia bones in the lower left leg during a Supercross practice session.
Did i miss any?I got some of those of Wiki. i failed on the embeding video lol.
Ya and he passed Dungey!
