You think Kawi didn't do any due diligence before signing him on a multi year deal?

He won 2 mxgp titles on that shoulder. I think it was fine until he crashed too hard on it.

What difference would it make? It’s not as if there’s a long line of championship contenders ready to take the spot if the guy in front of you fails a medical.  

For championship contenders is this indeed true, but if we talk about mediocre top 15 riders...

Great news!!!  Seems like the timing should be good to get up to speed and in riding condition.

Sexton - Tomac - Prado will be fun.  Add Jett when he’s ready and it’s going to be a shootout,

These posts make it seem like this is the first time he’s ridden since his surgery but he’s been back on the bike for a few weeks now.

Jett should be ready to go for round 1 at pala right? James did his knee at round 3 of sx in 08 and he was back for round 1 of the outdoors and that was right at the 4 month mark I believe for his knee.

Is that normal? Dont they split riders into groups? 

Most tracks in SoCal do not separate practices. You can hop on a dirt bike for the first time in your life and share the track with the World Champ…makes sense, right? 

And then everyone wonders why it's hard to get kids into the sport, and why tracks are closing left and right.

On another note, it appears Jorge is experiencing the effects of the poison that is American food…

Wow, I didn't know that. That's insane.

Adams looks like he weighs about 185. He's a big kid on a 250. I hope he has a solid year.

Seems a little more subdued. For Prado, you have to wonder if he feels that he’s slightly made a mistake coming over to the US and pursuing SX? Different bike; different atmosphere; injury right off the bat etc.

Confidence is probably a little rattled not being competitive in SX and getting injured. And if the rumors are true of Kawasaki going after Sexton  then he won't be Top Dog on the team he's not used to that and not what he signed up for I'm sure!

That is wild take to get from a 10 min video of a guy who hasn’t ridden his dirtbike in months. Major leap.

Haha, it looks like a couple of pounds.  He can burn that off in a week or two!  

Really hoping all of the top guys are healthy and stay healthy for the whole outdoor season.  Could be an epic summer

Who was top dog for kawi with AC and Anderson? Didn't seem to be an issue.

Who was top dog with Star, Webb or Eli?

Seems some teams can support two A plus riders.

Maybe he thinks the Kawasaki front fender is ugly and it is ruining his confidence.
