He sure does earn his keep! He’s like a helicopter mom with the brothers. He reminds me of a corner/cut man in boxing in between each round, wiping off their faces, opening their water bottles, cooling them down with a nice damp towel. I guess that’s in the job description, but it’s kinda cringe the way he hovers and caters to their every beck and call. He must be making big bucks.

I don't think its cringe... he's their coach. He wants to communicate with them and keep them in the game like any good coach would. I think he does that extra stuff because he's right there talking to them and its convenient rather than someone else trying to do it while he's talking to them.

Their agent that constantly hovers over them is cringe.

^^^^^^^^^ This.

What VALUE is Lucas bringing Jett at the end of a moto? How is he helping at that point in time?  What a groupie.....ooops he is getting paid. What does that make him?

You know, I've developed a certain expectation when I see an RCMartin406 thread. The quality is consistent here...it's just not great quality...

Hopefully, it means enough to work on that a bit. Considering you broke the rules and made a new account after the last one was KO'd, I'm not entirely sure why we're actually having this discussion. Also, I do not go by Mike or Mikey under any circumstance.

Yea, you are a bit off on this one. Oshow is one cool cat, and he meets with them as they get off the track to debrief and talk about whatever they are working on. They trust him. There are others that are a bit more helicopter”ish”…. But Oshow isn’t one.

Well I made another account because I don’t know why I got booted in the first place and you wouldn’t respond to any my emails. I’ve never called someone names or used derogatory language that I can recall. I do tread that line of sarcasm though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ohh I know, been a fan of the Oshow forever, I just noticed it at the last couple of rounds, he is “Johnny” on the spot, no pun intended.

One of his jobs is to either talk them down, or up after the moto. Keep em with a good vibe, no doubt.

Johnny is worth every penny the brothers pay. The knowledge that guy has, and is able to pass on coherently and productively, is second to none.

Im 55. Ive seen Johnny O race and win. I too am bothered a bit when he's wiping them down after a moto. He's a legend. And it seems wrong. Shoot me.

Lmao, complaining about complaining!Laughing

Remind me again, is this a message board designed to promote dialogue and discussion? What would you have us talk about? Why do guys like you come here? You guys that complain about opinions, quality of posts, and call people idiots crack me up! Who gives a shit!? Just ignore the post and move on! This board is more or less mindless entertainment! Some of you guys think too much of yourselves. Lighten up, it’s not that serious.

There is much less talk about Aldon these days I’ve noticed. Johnny O is back in the spotlight.
 

Having a guy like him in your corner with a bottle of water and a towel after you have busted your ass would be nice over some man friend. They keep their circle small.

 Johnny is full send in every aspect of his life, he’s a perfectionist. He’s a smart person who happens to be good on a motorcycle. He treats training like a religion, there is a purpose and a plan behind everything he says, he’s a guru. 
 

 He hovers over them because he understands what they need at that point. He had a hard time controlling Jett when he was 16   
 

I’ve said it for years, people are finally seeing it, Johnny is the best trainer in the business.

Maybe it’s for the time they have had the 1st water bottle, then try and calm them down, in order 1. Pointers on what they could improve on 2. Where they were really strong.  No idea but think this would work, def so given their results 🤷‍♂️

Very well stated. I’d like to that that while I don’t know what the OP is referencing exactly, O’Mara is likely setting an example that he’s not above even the most menial of tasks. That’s training in character, which elevates his stature even more imo. O’Mara is a unique gift to the sport and has been since he was a Factory Honda rider.

Speaking of Johnny O,  How much you think he's getting for sporting that Monster hat in the RED BULL camp of riders ?
