Training with world-renown SX / MX trainer Aldon Baker at the elite Baker ’ s Factory compound in Florida , Plessinger will also work alongside mechanic Jade Dungey , who re-joins the Red Bull KTM squad for his first season together with Plessigner . “ Aaron ’ s depth of talent has been on our radar for years , but he has really come into his own more recently and , lucky for us , during a time when we were in a position to bring him on-board for 2022 ,” commented Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager , Ian Harrison . “ We were excited that during contract negotiations , he expressed interest in being a part of the full training programme – a programme we have worked very hard on for many years – and felt he would really benefit from it at this stage in his career . The gains he has already made not just on the KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition , but also meshing with the team and his mechanic , Jade Dungey , should keep the crew smiling , and on their toes , year-round . Aaron is a real character and a welcomed addition to our 2022 rider lineup .”
