It it just a coincidence?
James/AB split - results immediately suffer
Kroc/AB split - results immediately suffer
RV/AB split - results immediately suffer
Dungey/AB join up - Dungey starts dominating!

Side note: The person that would greatly improve from his program is Weston Pieck in my opinion. If that dude hooked up with Baker he would be podium every race.
Don't know what you're talking about with RV, though. Supposedly he's still working with him albeit from a distance, and even then his results aren't exactly suffering.

On a side note: What do you think Roczen would have said if Aldon had told him he would not win another SX this year if he discontinued his services?
Or, do you think Roczen was second guessing his decision not to use Aldon when he got injured? What kind of resources and knowledge regarding rehab does RCH have? Is Ken relying on his dad to tape, ice, and treat his injuries? Does whoever have the background and training to do the job at the elite level Ken requires?
Dungey's riding style has definitely changed this season. I think Aldon has been able to point out a few areas of Dungey's tactics that he felt he could improve. Also, Dungey mentioned that AB has shown him a more efficient way to exercise and diet. So he just takes AB's input, alters his training and diet and can focus his energy on training and racing more efficiently.
All the top riders have similar talent, speed, work ethic, and they're all in similar physical shape. To a point. They all have their own training programs and regimens they put themselves through. The strength, training, moto's, nutrition side is all a fairly well known science at this point and I highly doubt that Aldon has a secret potion that no other trainer has or knows about.
that leaves the mental strength game. We've all seen the very best top riders have emotional meltdowns. Its pretty well known they're all also basketcase's when it comes to being mentally strong. The top ten guys are about as emotionally stable as a 12 year old rape victim.
What Aldon cultivates is a mental strength and maturity to enforce in his riders that they know they are the best. The results prove this over and over again. His techniques are also very demanding on the rider and require absolute focus and concentration and pushes all other outside distractions out of the picture. THe level this sport is at now requires nothing else.
Instead of sitting on the starting line hoping for a good start, and hoping for a good finish, how much of a difference would it make for a rider to sit there and honestly, TRULY, believe that he IS going to win. He IS going to holeshot. that he IS the fastest rider on the gate? At the very top that is what makes the difference. Thats what aldon's training provides.
I could also be totally way off and have no idea what I'm talking about.
Pit Row
AFAIK, there's actually an entire team that helps RD#5. I'd be guessing but I'm pretty confident AB didn't get that bike dialled in the way it is ATM.
If RD#5's season goes to shit, do we blame AB?
Nothing wrong with Kenny's fitness, just his confidence. Only Kenny can fix that!
No mention of Roger D. LMAO! RJ might be helping BB#4 with his race craft, but AB with RD#5's. Hilarious!!
Simple case of AB being in the right place at the right time.
To teach someone race craft you'd actually have to have some yourself first. MX and SX tracks aren't all down hill ya Knob! Dirt bike's don't have fucking peddles LMFAO!
How the fuck is AB, A fucking MTB rider, gonna teach RD#5 Anything about MX/SX race craft??????
You
Actually, that's bullshit. You're coming off like the biggest Aussie dick on this board. But, maybe that's real important to you, huh? Why don't you back off and let some of the guys here who DO know something, and don't have to use gay emoticons have a bit of a say. It'll be good for you. You'll thank me later.
