Spider man 🕷 is a great trainer.
A few less races, especially SX.

That razors edge of fat percentage like AP is hard on the immune system and shocking, another one crashes. I just don't see it as healthy and that is kind of my own personal feeling on it. Chase looks like an athlete. AP looks like a triathlete
We’re seeing the oldest 450 class ever. Extend their career and race less for less money? He already has that option, it’s called part time, like what Roczen is doing. When it’s time, it’s time. Just because a 30 year old guy who’s been racing the 450 class for 6 years and hasn’t won a single moto gets gassed halfway through the year on one of the strictest training regimes doesn’t mean they need to change the sport.
How fat are the people saying that?
The whole Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team is fully behind Aaron Plessinger, everyone’s favorite Cowboy.
Please please please please stop with the Cowboy stuff!
It's completely contrived and hasn't caught on with any real fans of the sport. It's only TV tampons like Leigh Diffey that bang on about it. And now Ian Harrison? He should tell the PR person writing this bollocks to cease and desist.
Sexton's bicep is larger than the whole of AP. Poor bugger. Aldon's a weirdo with this diet stuff.
This fat?
There’s a whole lot of stuff about A Baker’s diet stuff. AP looks like he needs some weightlifting and more protein.
His diet demands don’t sound too off the wall. For AP, he just may need a little red meat and more protein, since he’s already a skinny guy, unlike someone like RC, Webb, or RV.
Not sure I am following the logic here...Bakers program is so bad it only took 3.5 years to make Plessinger sick? 🤔
I don’t think the amount of racing is the problem. It’s everything in between - training, diet and travel. The racing is the easy part for these guys.
Logic is in short supply, everyone saying they should cut back on the amount of races, does that include all of the off season these guys do every year as well? Obviously they want to race and earn…
Most of these guys race off-season races anyway, how can you complain there are too many races in a year when in their downtime (off-season) they go to different countries to RACE more.
Racers wanna race.
There a lot of assumptions and jumping to conclusions in here....so many training and diet experts....🤷♂️
I can attest to this, I am a small boned man at 6'0 and have weighed 185ish my entire adult life. I lift weights every day, drink protein and eat whole foods. I am still consisdered a bean pole. Some of us it is just harder to pack on mass. But he needs it!
What was the timeline for Marvin, RV, Dungey, and Kenny? 2-4 years for them and they were all done, right?
Pit Row
All the best to Ap and his recovery. He doesn’t seem like the type of guy to sit out for no reason.
He is very thin and I can relate. When I was 16-20. I was 160lbs at 6’3”. I couldn’t put weight on no matter how much i worked out and ate, much to the disapproval of my football coach. Got a lot stronger but just couldn’t put weight on. About the time I turned 21 and started drinking ( it’s the only change I made) I put on about 50lbs and I still hover around 210lbs to this day at 48. A lot of people would still call me too thin but most of them are overweight.
Almost like eating fatty, but nutrient-heavy, foods (steak, eggs) is actually good for you.
Except, without SMX would Plessinger have even lined up at Millville? I think SMX creates incentive for these guys to ride MX, who would have previously pulled the plug at the slightest hint of injury or illness.
J Coop, Mookie and Savatgy are the only 3 450 guys to hit every round in SX & MX.
What a douche bag.
Get wll AP…We want you back happy and healthy. Take the time you need and heal up Fella!💯👍🏻
I’m not sure how many other people travel for your jobs; but I get sick after most trips. The exposure to germs in an airplane, uber, taxi etc… is hard on the immune system. And I’m not a world-class athlete.
Add in the extreme physical demands of the sport with the hectic schedule, I can see how these athletes get sick. And they really don’t have the opportunity to rest to recover.
I can imagine it catches up to you.
I agree with the cringe on the "cowboy" persona. Never been a fan of it. I wasn't a fan of the lameass Ronnie Mac act either. Now I've gotta run outside and tell the neighbor kids to get the hell off my lawn!
Wasn't Michael Phelps taking in 12,000 calories a day when he was training hard?
AP has made just about every race in SX and MX so far (like JCoop someone mentioned). He may just be tapped out a little.
I’m right there with you!
The MXGP guys run alot of off-season races but don't seem to have the same occurrence of mystery illness as the US teams do. Why is that? Better diet, not overtraining? Do all the US facilities (Aldon's, Club MX) just compete all the time until they are smoked at the actual races.
