It's awesome how much some of you worry about his health. Seriously, no I really mean it.

RC did the fitness work when he had too. Now he is a multi-millionaire and can eat as much as he wants and enjoy the things he sacrificed to win all those races and make those millions .

It is ironic that Emig was the party guy and he is still thin while RC was the dedicated training guy and he is the one putting on the weight, it's all genetics I guess.
Genetics but also the RPM of one's elbow when eating. Lot to be said for portion control since the more you eat the more you need to eat to be "full."

Regarding RC he is an adult and can make his own choices. I would like to see him taking better care of himself but since he hasn't given me any lifestyle advice recently I'll just keep my lips sealed.

Opinions aside the reality of excess weight are health issues IE diabetes low back issues high blood pressure etc. The habits we develop in our 30s stay with us and it is difficult to flip a switch when you're in your 50's when you're told you need to stop doing this and start eating that.

Bottom line is I am happy that Ricky Carmichael is staying active in his retirement years.

That's the side effects from all those PEDs that Aldon gives his riders for an unfair advantage ...... Whistling

Seeing RC is his kind of natural shape makes you realise how hard he must have trained for moto. Doesn't seem like the most athletic dude.

Genetics?

I think not.

Ricky probably always had to watch what he ate around Baker, and had to work hard at staying slim when he trained. I wouldn't doubt he has some type of eating disorder because he was denied food for so long. Now, he probably eats everything in sight because he can, and feels hungry all the time. When you are denied something, some people later crave it.

According to Kenny Watson...RC is still involved in suspension testing for RCH, and has a full works bike he rides for that. When he rides side by side with Tickle, etc. at the test tracks...he is right there on laps times...and is sometimes faster. He can only do 2 or 3 laps at that pace...but the raw speed is there.

You can be a skinny guy with fat. You eat garbage, your health is garbage. I am concerned with RC's long term health.

Well instead of the ''GOAT '', I think were going to need to start calling him the " GUT '' Smile I should probably not throw stones at RC while living in a Glass House myself. Sad Sick

It would be interesting to see some of your pictures put up to see how fit you yanks are. But before any of you wankers criticize another racer's fitness, you should probably check up to see if you beat them on the track first. I'm sure Ricky has all of you covered.

That was a bit of a joke...but with regards to the ability to ride FAST...yeah...fitness is overrated. A guy whos' one lap sprint speed is 2s a lap slower than say RVs fast lap can train all he wants. He can take HGH and Test...he can cheat his ass off...and his fastest lap will still be 2s a lap slower than RV....even if RV is out of shape. Now...he may be able to hold his fast lap speed for longer...and the "faster" out of shape guy may fade. The thing that really separates the guys at the top level is not fitness...they are all fit. It is skills. Tickle, Weimer, etc...they simply can not go as fast as the top top guys...even for one lap.

I challenge you to see it this way:

Rider A who is VERY Fast & Out of Shape vs. Rider A who is VERY Fast & in Shape: Who wins?

Like any competition: the game/race is won with an edge.

Ask most riders - they will say 'emotional intelligence' (in other words - is the rider in his head?) is the leading divider. There is "no doubt" in RV - he will leave it all on the track to win. Who else has that attitude?

Did RC make an attempt to comeback and race LL, I remember seeing the lead up vid but don't remember the result.

I recall he had a few problems at lead up races and things weren't as easy as everyone expected.

Anyone can do what ever they like with their bodies.

Interesting to note someone said the more you east the more you want.

We all have a built in full switch, but Sugar / Fructose triggers the I need more to fuel the Fructose habit.

But 200m Americans can't be wrong, Sugar / Fructose is the savior of the Planet.
