Dungey looks better than ever, he'll he's making me consider a ktm. And by chance or not Roczen just hasn't been the same since leaving Aldon. Is this all coincidence or is Aldon's program just that good. I'm skeptical, but shit he sure seems to have a good influence on his riders.
what Aldon has to do with it.
KTM never won campionships in the US and they sucked (according to the pro benchracers). Now they start pulling ahead a bit and suddenly they make quality stuff.

When hasn't Aldon been worth his weight in championships?
Folks her is Aldon Baker's Record in SX:
RC SX Titles - 2001-2003, 2005, 2006
JS SX Titles - 2009 (only one SX title with Bubba?)
RV SX Titles - 2011-2014
Rider's who can endure that and stay with it, will be at their very peak of physical conditioning and mentally tougher than a $2 steak.
We've seen plenty of guys who get a little spoiled by success and don't want to endure the workload that Aldon requires and think they've learned the ropes enough to go it alone. Time and again though, we see those guys quickly fall of the pace of the next rider that Aldon takes on.
His record is as impressive as it gets, and those that stick with him all seem to rise to their best results, if not the top step of the podium.
Hiring him is a no brainer if you want the best trainer in the business. Firing him, seems to be a start down the path to obscurity.
Follow that with the successes of the riders who followed and you have a great resume for Aldon. Top riders want to train with him for a reason.
This year KR left Aldon and Dungey join him. We still have many races to go to see how it pans out, nobody has won it yet. Though should Dungey win that would just raise Aldon's stock even more.
Nobody is saying that the only way to win is with Aldon, we will see non-Aldon riders win the championship.
He has the ability to draw an extra 1-3% out of a certain type of athlete. It doesn't work on every top flight racer but those who can adapt have exceptional success. There are many who haven't been able to adapt. That is the difference...... do you have the mentality to go beyond what seemed possible ??
At that level the combination of many factors (including training) combine and you have champions.
The commitment required to perform and adapt to "Aldon's way" is beyond the reach of many.

You are correct that his record reflects the riders he works with, his success stories are taking a champ and helping him become legend. As I stated......that extra 1-3% is the difference at the very top level.
It is unlikely that AB would ever go to a kid at LL and say " I'm giving up the good money and the acclaim to work with unknown riders from now on"........why would he ?
Weird how life turns out....isn't it.
i would attribute that ability to be aggressive and confident to training with Aldon, but Dungey has always been faster than hell so i can't give Aldon ALL the credit.
props to them both.
also, i hope Kenny get's a win soon and stops the bleeding
As far as the aldon effect for a moment look beyond supercross to the outdoors. Dungy has always been great outdoors but if he and this new ride look this smooth and work this well together out there, then you add aldon...... They could have a fantastic unreal summer.
