Mike Alessi, who is the current points leader of the 2009 AMA motocross championship has suffered an injury that required surgery and will be out for the majority of the 2009 outdoor season. Alessi won both motos in round 3 at Freestone and took the overall at hang town.

However speedbump has suffered a broken kneecap while practicing in Pennsylvania. Round 4 of 12 of the series will be run without Mike Alessi lining up so it gives other riders like Chad Reed, Andrew Short and Josh Grant an opportunity to prove they are contenders for the championship.

The Rockstar Makita Suzuki team reported that Mike underwent successful left knee surgery and will make a full recovery which will see him back before the end of the season.

“There was no other damage to the knee beyond the broken kneecap,” said team manager, Roger DeCoster. “The outlook is better than expected, as we thought he was out for the year. It appears now that there’s a good chance he will be able to get back out there racing before the end of this season.”
