Who are we going to get in 2022? I say he is going to surprise us next year. While others are going to doubt him and say he won’t put in the work. Thoughts.
I don't think Mookie is willing to put in as much work as he needs to really be competitive. If he is working with Aldon for 2022 I will be curious to see how that goes.
Also, I don't know why he isn't racing the nationals. It was the downfall of JS7, thought they would have learned from that. Yes, I realize Mookie "about died" when he rode nationals years ago. However, don't you go out and try improve your physical conditioning/hydration/w.e. to make it 30+2 (x2) for a day?
I'm sorry, but I just don't have much sympathy for professional athletes, they are paid to perform, so put in the effort to perform at your best. I don't think Mookie has ever really done that.

His body was pretty messed up from when he got sick that outdoor season. For a guy like him, I can understand that the risk/reward might not be worth it to line up when he can make more money doing overseas races and enjoy it instead of grinding it out for 10-12th place finishes outdoors.
"I realize mookie "about died" when he rode nationals, but I dont know why he isnt racing them". Sounds like a pretty good reason if you ask me lol
Personally, I would love to see him step up and win a race or more next season. Will be interesting to see what he does with that bike and the Baker factory training.
I like this move by Malcolm. You don't go to a trainer like Aldon unless you're willing to put the work in. Think what you want about Aldon's efficiency, but he seems to be very strict on his riders. And some of the riders he's taken on are riders that might struggle with motivation outside of having someone babysit their diet and training program. I like Malcolm, and his willingness to give this a shot is encouraging.
Yes there are a lot of “ifs” involved in that, but none of them are really far fetched.
