Thinking out loud from my couch here - but was there ever an element of Roczen being pissed at Aldon for taking on Dungey? Did Dungey joining have anything to do with his decision to leave?
Seemed like him, RV & AC were the dream team, I'm wondering if Dungey and Roczen's relationship is as healthy?

All of the audio clips and interviews it seem like all 3 are on good terms. In my opinion, I think Roczen is finding that the grass is rarely greener on the other side.
Kenny's dad was his trainer up until he went to Aldon. When Kenny went to Aldon, this supposedly caused a rift between the two (straight out of Roczen's mouth) and he didnt speak with his father for a long time.
Well, dad's back in the pits, and Aldon is out.
Infer from that what you will, it's just an observation.

Ricky has no input in Kens training.
Aldon doesn't have a contract with KTM.
Aldon still trains Adam C.t
I hope Kenny didn't leave just because Dungey came on board because that would be ridiculous. RV opened the door for him last year and gave him a great advantage. It would be silly for him to run off pouting just because Aldon opened the door for someone else at his level.
Problem is there is a fine line at peaking at the worng time and each individuals training will interval differently.
James training regimen is also very intense...so not sure where you are getting your info from?

After RV's departure, Roczen became Baker's number one, which means the involvement of Baker in Kenny's life got brought to another level. This is what Aldon feels is needed to mold a champion: Get completely invested in a rider's life, and tell them what to do at all times.
But Roczen is a strong-minded dude. He knows what he wants and feels he needs to be able to relax and goof off sometimes in order to feel good in the bike. Roczen started feeling tired from the insane Baker bootcamp and said he'd rather not ride on mondays anymore but Baker told him that wasn't gonna happen. (this is a direct quote from an interview). I believe that was a turning point in their relationship and they split up shortly after, while they were still on good terms. Nowhere did I ever get the "vibe" that this had to do with another rider coming in.
There was a big rift between RC and Aldon at the end of his career.
He steered his new hire away from Baker and tried to pump him up, letting Roczen run his program on his own terms.
When anyone questions the logic, RC can throw out his own record and crow that no one knows what works better than him, perhaps forgetting that Baker guided him for the last 7 and most successful years of his career.
But, I do recall hearing a lot of rumors that he was burnt out on Aldon's program, burnt out on the race and media schedules and everything else. The riders can't change the race and media schedules but they can change their training program. So I believe that is why guys like Stewart, and now Kenny decide to part ways with Aldon. RV never split but he has a higher desire to win than the rest.
I'm also curious as to what role Aldon is playing in Dungey's program. . . Dungey's fitness is arguably the best in the field without Aldon and he is self disciplined. I can't see a reason that he would allow Aldon to fiddle with the fitness aspect more than just giving input here and there. GuyB or Michael, is RD a closed book on this kind of thing or can you ever get an interview asking generically what Aldon is doing for them?
As for the Aldon/K-Roc/RV/RC/RD thing: Rich people's problems!
I think that now that Kenny is out, Dean Wilson can and will join to Aldon's team. I know he tried to get in the Bakery but there was some issues so he was left out. Kenny is gone, issue is gone?
Post a reply to: Did Roczen jump out of the Bakery, or was he pushed?
