I bet passenger is wishing he never stated "I don't think I have any of the Europeans to worry about other than my teammate ferrandis" You have been schooled today by a lot of Euro mx2 guys.

Are you sure he said that?

He seemed to be pretty respectful and more interested to see what the GP riders were like the interview of his I saw, and he doesn't come across as cocky at all, at least to me.

I heard say in an interview that Herlings was the only GP rider he needed to worry aboit.

"'Obviously Herlings is killing it over there right now. In the 250 class they have some really good guys but I think Ferrandis was battling with Herlings over there before he came over here and he is honestly the only guy that I see as a really big threat.

But there is another clash of "Giants" in the 250 class.
Jorge Prado and Aaron Plessinger also has potential for an interesting battle. If spain can qualify...

Who is the best of these 2 champions ?

Yeah fair enough. The quote was obviously taken from this press conference back in August.

It does make him look a bit naive in hindsight, but it looked worse written down IMO. He was just forming an opinion based the only comparison/reference he had to go off. He was definitely more uncertain & open minded in the pre-race interviews I saw.

AP ended lightyears behind Prado in both motos. In addition, Lawrence, Watson, Cervellin and Ferrandis were better too. Barr (who?) had the same results.

on the drive home we were finishing last weeks podcast and it was so funny to hear Matthes completely discount Prado to the point we were laughing so hard.

I love Matthes and got a chance to talk to him but man sometimes he has his strong point of view on something and he could be soooo wrong lol

I do remember him say it again somewhere else, I think he was standing next to Ferrandis at the time.. but yeah I took it more as ignorance than arrogance..

(naive is more accurate and sounds less harsh but how good does my sentence read? haha)

hahahahaahahh!!! so many butt hurt people over the results.
I honestly didn't see the US team riding as they did. But it showed that the MXGP guys in both classes are just to fast.
Bad starts, weather, recovery, lack of prep... the excuses keep coming.
There are just so many fast guys flying under the radar and the weekend proved so.

I'm more impressed then annoyed with the results.

Prado was amazing to watch and had no competition from the MX2 guys.
Hunter we expected his results... cant take his efforts away from him, great rider and huge career ahead.

AP has speed! and deserves nothing but respect. But on a larger playing field.. he just didn't have what the others did.
He is still the top 250mx guy for the USA. but on a world scale, he's up there but not the top step.

Des nations this year was some of the best racing we have seen. track looked amazing even in the conditions.
fans where crazy! countries showed support and all the teams wanted to win! i love seeing the 250 riders up against the 450s!!!

bring on 2019

Lets be serious here. It rained all weekend and even if it was perfect motocross is not perfect. We were hoping for Prado vs AP and Herlings vs Tomac but what were really the chances of it working out perfectly like that. Small. Oh well still was an awesome race.

Shits me that everyone is hailing Prados effort. Hunter ran him down from far back in moto 2.
Moto 1 probably would’ve but pitted for goggles.
On a brand new bike and team verse the might of the factory KTM team.
Hunter is a technically superior rider to Jorge..
Just hope deathcross doesn’t claim him

After the perfomances of the mxdn 2017,a lot of people thought Hunter would be the man in 2018,well,it wasn’t.The speed is good but not the consistency.

He was on a team that couldn’t be compared to a factory team.

Dunno Jrewing, Prado was blazing fast in that first moto. Couldn't believe he held off Herlings and Paulin for that long. Lawrence sorta got dropped early. Second moto was similar, but I think his fitness is what pulled him to the front at the end.

Faaaark Jr, you're doing a good impression of what the Yanks get up to, so often.

Hunters obviously a brilliant rider, and I hope for him, and his brother, much success.

But, he finished behind Prado ( and others) in the World Champs this year, and got beaten by him this last weekend by the accepted standards of Motocross.

The results are the results - that's how it is. No ifs or buts, or f**king asterisks. Or claims of superiority when it's not the case.

The accolades given to Prado, and Lawrence, and the other MX2 riders, are thoroughly deserved. Just as they are for the high performing big bike riders, this weekend.

I do , however, fear that your last sentence (about SX perhaps claiming him) might just be right. But, I sure as hell hope not.

1 race down, 2 more to go. Lots of racing left. As for the US, that's the danger of what happens when you don't qualify worth a shit - tough to get a good start and battle through a highly talented and passionate pack of riders. Bam Bam time! Need Plessinger to put in the ride of his life now.

As I’ve said before, that factory Ktm Prado is on is 2 levels above the equipment Hunter was on, while in the Gp’s.
On the Geico bike, he had 1 practice on a flat muddy track to dial it and become acquainted with the team. Then he races it! Pretty bloody impressive.
Granted I might be also still riding the high of the past weekend.

No, he's not. He's good, but Prado has proven all season that he is obviously better. Besides that, Hunter is 19, Jorge only 17.

I think that now we can end that discussion that AMA 250 field is much deeper than MX2 in GPs. Results dont lie
