If his starts are on, I believe he can fight for the championship.

Podiums certainly. Maybe a win... A title is a stretch but, I'm pulling for him!

Pulling for Mookie in 22!

Question on that type of Jersey...is that outer layer attached to the under jersey or two separate pieces. Is there a benefit to this kind of Jersey or just different for difference sake? Have seen pics of Jerseys like this but have not seen one in person.

Its a tight fitting "under armour" base layer, then a tank on top. Just different. Not really any advantage or disadvantage. Its Sevens thing, tight athletic fit.

Can't wait to see his results. A fast Mookie would be good for the sport. Big personality is what we need to keep things exciting.

Whoa!! Yeah he does look good. If he stays healthy , I can see him putting in his best 450 season ever in 2022.

Although I agree totally.
Most of us thought that previously about Webb, then title #1.

Agreed. I don’t know that an obsession with weight loss equates to success in 450 class.
Fitness sure.. but this looks like weight loss

Is there any 450 rider training with Aldon now besides Mookie and Plessinger?

If only in the past we had seen a slightly "poofy" rider go to Aldon and then win a championship...

RC, RV, Osborne, Webb...

For a second I thought he forgot to take the hanger out of his shirt, then I realized it was his shoulders. lol

From a fairly broad-shouldered guy to that is a huge change. Can't wait to see him this year. Mookie fighting for a title would be huge for the sport.

Big fan of Malcolm. Hope this change in appearance has him more efficient on the bike, and battling for wins. I still think Jacked Malcolm looks cooler bro!

Everybody loves Mookie. Hes great for the sport!

I dont think he is a title guy, but if AP and Mookie were going at it for a title just like the year they were going for the 250 title, that would be awesome. The dance moves after each win would be great!

I believe JT on his recent podcast said that the weight loss for Aldon stems from the power to weight ratio idea in cycling, but given the power of 450s, is now more about efficiency in movements and all that g-force on your body during supercross is lessened if you weigh less.

I could see Mookie getting a win!

I feel my Mookie Fever flaring up again! I would love to see Stewart take some wins this year. The real question is, can he be any faster through the whoops?

I think we will see a better Mookie this year for several reasons. Kid is easy to like and root for.

Warp Speed Plus in the Whoops this year.
Can't wait to see him out there.

This has long been Aldon’s secret sauce: getting weight down. It’s weird that it’s such a taboo subject, but the frequency that we hear guys talk about the physical rigors of the sport and then see riders show up to a race 10-15 pounds overweight is confounding. This is the top level of one of the most physically demanding sports in the world. You can’t have 15-20% body fat and expect to win championships.

There’s also the psychological element of restricting diet and the focus that brings to race day. When you sit down three times a day to choke down ugly, tasteless but healthy food, you’re confronted with your sacrifices in an unavoidable and existential way. Things stop being fun when you’re eating joyless food that leaves you hungry when the plate is clean. Cianciarulo and RV both got burned out by this, but it also contributed to their success. The weight of those sacrifices during the weekly grind gets heavier and to do it all for bad results is simply unacceptable.

I’ve been a big fan of Mookie for years because he’s been one of the more interesting and enjoyable riders on and off the track. If this plan works, I think we’ll see a better racer but a less charismatic #27 this year.

Glad all the Vital nutritionists/trainers chimed in to let us know how unhealthy he is.

I look forward to seeing what Mookie can do on such an established program. What a talent he is.
