I was watching Roczen get ready for his interview after the races yesterday and noticed his (I assume) girlfriend, the blonde, really pretty girl. She takes the helmet, wipes the face, hands him the water, uh, "Red Bull", holds the bike, checks the teeth...it looked like a Nascar pit stop. DIdn't say a word, just got it done. She had it DOWN.
Aldon Baker is such a badass that he even trains the girlfriend. If Roczen wins a hot race this year, or even gets second, I think he'll win the title. I hope he does. And after he gets his picture taken with the #1 plate and, above all else, thanks Aldon, THEN I hope he goes to Chipotle on his way to the beach to go surfing...
I remember, way back in the day, DeCoster talking about factory CZ measuring tires and saying, "2 more races, boys, then we change them". I wonder if he ever envisioned a day when motocross would be this kind of commitment, when even the girlfriend had her job to do at the races and executed it perfectly. We all remember the "good old days"; well, I was there and they had their charm, but they weren't that great.
Only 10 more races, Kenny, then you go surfing.

As far as his fitness and riding abilities, after watching him on a 250F at altidude on the side of a mountain lay waste to the best in the world on 450's......well, I don't think I'm the one missing the point.
The girlfriend, she understands the limited lifespan of a career in this sport. She also knows the effect of the professional athlete tax. Maybe, just maybe she might just be the one that put all those things into place that you are so quick to give Baker credit for. But don't let me rain on your cool story.

Its hilarious what some people around here think of you, the PM's and emails started coming in the day you signed up.
The threat of legal action is such a bitch move, but completely expected from the source.
If things don't go his way he is ready to ban, sue, whatever it takes.
I would love to read some of those emails, Scottie.
I guess I'm not the only one that feels that way, even tho I never sent an email.
They are a rad pair.
It is sometimes even like that in the corporate world. Total commitment from all the pieces of the puzzle to be at 100%. (or 100 hours a week)
His adaptation to U.S. motocross has made quite a bit of progress.
There will always be "track snacks", and girls that hang around the pit area just to be around the younger riders...and there will always be riders who like that kind of girlfriend-at-every-race deal too. But, it seems like the guys who really have their acts together on the track, seem to have their acts together at home too.
