I’ve been rooting for Jorge to turn it around, but how can you look at any of the kawi guys after not even qualifying.

No idea what to say about Prado that hasn’t already been said. 

What do you think the conversation with the team must be today? Very quiet? Perhaps they are aware of some other (non-bike) issue and are understanding? Strange situation.

Conspiracy theory time, Prado to the LCQ to get more practice time on the track.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse for Prado he goes and pulls this out of his ass lol man if that were me out there and my pops was with me at every race, I’d be shitting myself or he’d be at the airport by the time I got back in from that session. Pathetic.

There's no way Prado actually does the LCQ, right? All for what, 36th gate pick? I bet the next time we see him he's on orange.

Where is his self respect. Yeah I know he wants out of the Kawi deal but jeez does he not give a shit about himself? I mean If I am another manufacture there is no way that I hire a guy that just fucking quits like that. And to not even qualify and we know he did the shit on purpose. I don't give a shit how many more titles he goes on to win Ill always remember this shit year.

Ok at this point it has to be him trying to get fired instead of quitting because of a detail in his contract

I really hope Kawi let him go and that KTM turn their back on him.

I was never a fan of his constant cross jumping in the GP’s and some what dirty line choices and after his current antics he don’t deserve to take up a factory spot anymore.

People need to stop with piling on Prado. He is multi time champ and whatever the problem it's between him and the team. If it's not his deal he will figure out what's best for him. Did everyone act like this when RV went to the gp's and quit ? 

Hell, this didn’t age well within 2 pages! Great take buddy.

i cant believe what i am reading.

either the bike had some sort of mech issue, or is he doing this on purpose to get out of a contract

Prado setting a very bad presedent for any MXGP rider wanting to come to AMA racing. Teams are going to be very hesitant going forward on signing a euro rider, I can't see the euros happy about Jorge's performance if it's hindering their prospects.

He'll have 36th gate pick though, right?
