In-case you've had your moto-head well and truly buried in the nearest whoop all week you'll prob have heard about the Jeff Alessi 'Lasergate' situation at the AMA motocross nationals in Washougal.

Here's the bullets:

• Alessi shines a laser into goggles of a few riders (Villopoto, Malcolm Stewart) on start line at Washougal
• Davey Coombs (owner/head honcho of MX Sports the series organiser) catches him red handed
• Multiple verbals break out over the remainder of the day involving Daddy Alessi, Davey Coombs, Steve Matthes and more
• a bunch of fines and bans were handed out as a result.
• hilarious (and long) podcast reveals all by Steve Matthes at PulpMX

For the full background and the penalties handed out afterwards check out MX-Vice or MXaddicts

For anyone who missed it here's some of the action:
