This is something I've been thinking about. We've heard it before that riders were stretched too thin with Aldon, be it over training or under eating, not enough muscle, or too much cardio.
Villo, KRoc, AC44. Will Ryan be a victim of the Aldon camp. Take it easy, because obviously Aldon has taken RD's mental fitness to another level and also his physical fitness. But will he burn out? People started threads last year about him looking really thin and he hasn't hit the deck hard in over two years, but will he be able to sustain the fitness and mental toughness that he's had the last two years? Just curious, we know Ryan has one of the highest work ethics in the business so will they overdo it? I believe that could be the Achilles heel to his regimen, overtraining

These 250 guys get Epstein Barr and over train and if there was one thing that could throw a stick in dungeys wheel I think overtraining could be it. Doesn't seem like many riders can sustain the Aldon camp forever.

I mean, I'm no exercise physiologist, but look at damn near any endurance sport. Dudes in the late 20s and early 30s dominate those sports. Obviously MX is different, but the human body isn't.
AC was how old when he started with Aldon? Like 18? KRoc was like 20-21. Dungey was 25 I believe.
I think he may also be training less than in the past, but doing more race practice, which sure seems to benefit him
I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
Hell, what if he even wins half of the cships for the next two years?
In my opinion, the guys that get Epstein Barr are guys who get injured, are immuno-compromised, or are behind the power curve and try to make up for lost time by over-training. The human body can endure a smartly executed, extremely difficult training regimen a lot better than one may think. Most people's minds will give up before their muscles.

The real question could also be "Will Aldon get burnt out with dunge ?". That must not be easy to work with athletes !
Will his career be shorter than it would be without Aldon? Probably.
It's no secret Aldon has a 'get in and get out' mentality about the sport, which was one of the reasons for the split with Roczen. Kenny said there was no way his body could handle that program in the long run, and that he would choose a long career over a short one. There's no arguing with Dungey's results, and he was already probably the fittest racer before he even got on Aldon's program, but I don't see the likes of Musquin and Anderson keeping up with that program for their entire careers.
Plus the fact that he will likely only race one more year after this season.
He turned pro in 2006 and has probably missed the least amount of races (percentage wise) of any pro racer ever in this sport.
