Aaron Plessinger had five podiums in Supercross, one of them being a win in the mud at the Foxborough Supercross. At the beginning of outdoors, Aaron was fourth, third, second, and fourth again, before his health started to decline.

Aaron was seventh overall at Southwick, and then he DNF'd moto two at RedBud, after challenging Jett Lawrence earlier that same day. Then, two DNFs at Millville made it clear that Aaron needed to take some time off to let his body recover.

He tried to get ready for the SMX playoffs, but his body wouldn't cooperate. In this interview, Josh Mosiman chats with Aaron about the secret struggle that the top Pros go through while trying to race 31 events a year, and keep up with training in between race weekends to keep chasing their goals.
