Why haven't I seen anything about the fact he was riding a less than stellar bike in previous years?

He was right on RV's heels all that time. What would have happened if he'd been on this machine?

Dungey has made it clear, the only thing that Aldon did was take the worry out of having to plan the training himself.

He's always been in killer condition. The new bike is the real change.

Or am I off base here?

I think that he is very happy to have someone else create his program. It's like a weight off of his shoulders.

But the bike is probably the biggest reason for his improvement.


That being said, I wouldn't say that he was on RVs heels. Other guys pushed RV more than Dungey. his consistently was what may have put him in a better points position. This year there is no doubt he was the best guy. Tomac wasn't the fastest guy like some people say. Dungey was.

It seems like he can put that bike anywhere he wants and trust that it will stick.

I'm guessing the weight is coming off his wallet more than his shoulders but whatever the case, it seems to be working.

Roczen says he didn't like it either but I always thought Roczen's bike looked better.

Roczen moved to a bike which has thrown him to the deck more than once this year...

I think Baker brings more of the mental aspect of training than he's given credit for. But Dungey don't need no stinken mental training... He already has it.

it's the bike! it's the trainer!

truth is, it's both. aldon gave RD that last notch he needed to find, not fitness so much, but mental training. The bike is unbelievable. combined, he's lethal.


the 450 mx is going to be a yawn this year. nobody is going to be at his level, i love tomac but RD has him covered the same way RV covered dungey the last couple of years. Once a competitor really puts it to you, it takes a while to work that issue out between your ears. (again, see RD v RV last couple of years)

Do not underestimate what Aldon brings. As I said previously it's more mental than physical.
Look at Musquin. He's a changed man as well.

Musquin looks like he has the race won sitting on the starting line, I think he knows he has done the work and not worried about the outcome because the only thing that might stop him is a lot of bad luck because he can overcome a little bad luck.

That bike was a picece of crap , and it's a shame dungey had to race it against rv he was faster than RV on the rmz, bar when they hit the backmarkers , and I really really think he is still not on the best bike out there . Imo the rmz and kxf are better factory bikes , but dungey would win on any bike
