I'm NOT arguing that AB has not made a difference. ( At this point, feel free to take a second to let that sink in).
Yesterday's race was very evidential that AB is making a difference IMO.
I'm just not willing to give AB the "Lions share of the pie" as far as team credit goes. As a lot of people are inclined to do on here.
I won't hold it against them and I'll just assume most on here haven't played Team sports.
My answer to your question is, Great Team and great bike. Again "A tradesmen's work is only as good as his tools".......... blah, blah, blah
Sorry in advance if it wasn't a multiple choice question.
The argument that AB has made all the difference is Illogical. Free Tip!. It can not be won.
The bike, fitness and mental strength, the riding and the strategy ,especially the way he switched his strategy mid race were all a stand out in RD's win to me yesterday.
I do think he should have switched strategy a lap or two earlier though. He may've got the message on the Pit board. He left his championship aspirations at risk for way too long IMO. It very easily could have ended badly for him.
But the old RD of previous yrs may've backed off rather than stepping it up a gear and charging to get clear of the pack like he did. That was Impressive.
I got immense pleasure out of watching him ride those whoops!
Plenty of syrup with that waffle, I may've laid it on a bit thick.
Of course not, you're just arguing to argue.
I used to be like you. Liked to pull everyone's chain. I still do and find it hard not to at times, especially in a JS7 man love thread, or a Justin Barcia thread, because I can't stand JB. But I have even backed way off on that.
you should lighten up 991, you don't have to win every thread
Fair to say you have me worked out
BTW. I like Justin Barcia. Surprised?
Wet long weekend this week, Boredom got the better of me. I'll be back in my box by tomorrow.

pity. you couldnt think of anything that actually supports your point, so you have to resort to just saying im wrong..
I don't have to think of a point when I can use yours against you
You obviously can't comprehend my comments as they were Intended, therefore. your opinion on them is. Wrong.
Sign up with the fastest riders in the world that are already dominating. Burn them out and leave them when they begin to fade and then he signs up with the next superstar?
Seems to me anyone he has ever worked with were champions and were going to be champions regardless of they worked with AD or Richard Simmons
I'm Gob Smacked that a PT has a fan club. I can see it now. "Teach me how to Baker".
your post was offensive to riders. your saying there trainer/ riding coach, who they obviously believe in, is worthless. so where the irony in my statement? and since you somehow think thats ironic (must not know what the word means?) that i said that, would imply that something that i said is somehow offensive to the rest of the team? how?
and your using my point against me? i must have missed that part of the post?
but im sure your next post will just be more of the same nonsense, saying how im wrong, but not having any explanation as to why.
By you giving AB the Lions share of the credit for any of those mentioned riders successes is offensive to the rest of the teams. That would be the Irony in your claims that what I'm saying is offensive to the riders.
Would it be clearer to you if I post that in American?
thats what my original post was saying. is that no one is giving AB the "lions share" you just for some reason think thats what people are saying. hes just a small percentage of what makes these guys so successful.
and if you dont think that AB is worthless, then you agree with the rest of us.
I will take that bet outdoors.
in his career." He wasn't even cleared to be on a bike until Oct-Nov and you don't have a clue in what shape his knee was
in at that time. He never started working with his new team or bike until January He hadn't raced since May in supercross and
hadn't raced outdoors since 2013. He is coming into this series about as unprepared as he ever has and his rustiness shows.
He will be ok in the MXGP series and he will learn how it works and I have no doubt, barring injury, he will win this Championship, As for Aldon Baker, knowledge and integrity that commands the best of his athletes that stay with his program,
magic potions not so much.
Pit Row
I'm sure there were many fitter riders that finished well behind him. A major part of the battle is being able to run at that speed. Full Stop. Again. I'm sure there would have been physically fitter riders in the field that couldn't.
His pre-seasoned preparation suffered, only natural his racing season would as well at this early stage.
You don't think Buddy is doing good work with him already?
He gets as much as any rider is willing to give him! He obviously asks too much from some. If he was as good as everyone thinks he wouldn't.
RC's results made his career. He got lucky. RC put him in a position to work with the best in the business. No fucking shock he gets good results from good riders. Can't comprehend that either yall?
How often do you hear RC praising and raving on about AB like you queers do? And he created the "Legend".
Don't pay attention to guys like Rcm......just another butt hurt Stewart fan. Still looks for any way possible to slam RV when he has a chance. Mean while , back in Florida.....his boy is sitting on the couch with a suspension.
Seriously....what ground does he have to stand on here? There is none....so butthurt fans like himself garb at straws because their weak little minds can't comprehend the reality of the situation.
Side note.....I've known Rcm to put up some good bench racing replies in threads , but he lets the Fantard part of himself show through every once in a while.
I'll admit though. AB's far from silly. If I could ride through life on someone else's coat tails and accomplishments. I'd do it to
they are still together anyway lol
