On November 3rd, Jeff Alessi took the checkered flag in the Pro Open division of the 2007 Future West ACU British Supercross Championship in Sheffield, England. Alessi rode his Bad Boy Power Drink / PAR Honda from the holeshot to the finish line for an impressive victory.
"We spent three days testing with Jeff prior to the Sheffield Supercross, working on suspension and tire combinations, " said Cal Northrop, Team Bad Boy's general manager and suspension expert. "We built a shock that Jeff loved through the whoop section and our segment times just kept getting faster and faster. Jeff's only 18 years old, but he works hard, and he rides hard. He knows what it takes to win."
Jake Marsack had a great run in the MX1 division of the ‘Supercross de Montreal’ at Montreal Olympic Stadium last month. His lap times were top 5 in every session. And in September, Marsack swept all 3 motos in the AMA Motocross Manufacturer's Cup at Mid-Ohio Motocross Course. Marsack will be testing with Team Bad Boy the week before Thanksgiving to prepare for the 08 SX season.
