According to sources, Alessi suffered two broken scapulas, a broken rib and a bruised lung.

“We were pretty concerned after seeing Mike’s crash,” Alessi’s Manager, Roger DeCoster said. “It happened in a very fast section and he ended up coming to rest on a blind part of the track and was then hit by several riders. Due to the nature and severity of his injuries, it is not likely that we’ll see Mike back in action this season. It’s unfortunate as Mike has done an exceptional job all season with capturing nearly all of the holeshots and sitting in a strong second place in championship points. In fact, in the first moto of this weekend, Mike got the holeshot once again and finished in second place over 30 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor. He has shown a lot of heart this year and we’ll be anxious to get him back healthy again.”

Forget Motocross, Alessi is lucky to be alive.
