ZSaturday evening our time another AMA national was contested in Washougal (Washington). We already brought you the sporting story but something else happened there next to the track that is now creating a huge fuzz on the forums, in the tweets and even in the respected media.

During the start of the first series of 450 cc, a laser pointer was shined at some pilots, after the race it even became clear that one of those pilots was Ryan Villopoto. Davy Coombs, the American Motocross promoter, went looking for the perpetrator and the man who was caught with the laser pointer in his hand was none other than Jeff Alessi. Yes, Mike's brother and eternal rival of Ryan Villopoto.

Jeff Alessi, who with the so-called “smoking gun” in his hand, explained that he had just taken the pen from someone he knew, the pen was taken away like a small child. When Steve Matthes asked for an explanation later in the day in the Alessi camp, it became a heated discussion, but that was the incident on match day.

But the incident is not yet completely closed, as it remains to be seen whether MXSports (Promoter) and the AMA (regulator) will still impose penalties against Jeff Alessi in person and the SmarTop MotoConcepts team, for which he was “working” at the time. ”.
