Prado qualified 42nd?

I know he hasn't been very good, but did something happen to him? Did he crash or something?

It’s funny how we’re thinking how f-in fun it would be to get out and race atm. I know to these guys it’s a job, but heck - factory bike, pristine prepped track, Starbucks brown sugar coffee, couple ibuprofen, and bam!

Yep, having withdrawals atm

Surprised haven’t seen any report of him being sick or something. Like said above how can you not put at least one fast lap in when you have his skill and the track looks promo, totally lost his love of riding?

Honestly everyone out there is faster than I would ever be and all that.

But what a loser. Kawi shouldn't even give him a flight home. His ass going on the greyhound

Have we ever seen a factory guy go to the LCQ without a crash or a mudder??

       Mr. Prado either had a motorbike problem, or he sent a big “Fuck you “ to Kawasaki. I know which one I would bet on.

Getting prima donna vibes......there is no way that a bike can affect his speed by that much...

My question is whether Kawi has contractual options to sent little Jorge a big FU. 

Edit: Assume he is not injured. He may not like the bike, fine. That is not an excuse to do what he is doing. Getting paid a lot to do nothing in return, or even destroy a brand image. This has to be getting attention rather high up in Kawi, doesn’t it?

I'd prefer the airport. 

Send this euro packing, in exchange for one who wants to put in the effort to race with the AMA boys.

Sounded like he was checking out different lines  and is going to fight for a top 15 if he can nail the start.

At this point you just gotta think he's making sure Kawi will let him go, surely they can fire him for free if he's not even trying like he did last race

I think it's the bike, the Kawasaki is no good and we shouldn't buy those. He is a MXGP star, top3 anyday in the world but Kawasaki is not a good bike brand, I think Prado shows it clearly.   Don't buy Kawasaki!
