Monday Kickstart : 2012 Monster Energy Cup

For opening ceremonies, Mike Alessi’s number plates were highlighted with a LED setup.

It’s common for MotoConcepts Racing to change the look of their bikes at seemingly every round, and they continued the trend in Vegas with a red and white scheme. Alessi is another rider that now receives support from Ohlins on suspension.

Alessi debuted the new line for JT Racing, which includes the highly sought after “Dogger” colorway.

Props to Jake Canada for his seventh overall. Numerous DNFs kept him from hitting his potential outdoors this summer, but on the MCR 450, he reminded people that he has what it takes to be up front. Canada and both Alessi’s donned the HJC RPHA X helmet for the weekend, as well.

With the amount of riders competing, the AMA had their work cut of for them in the timing and scoring department.
