Well that's cool I guess , but what the hell is going on?

I don't think it's cool at all so this guy gets in when he doesn't even want to ride and the poor kid that actually qualified 36 gets bumped out to the lcq doesn't seem fair at all! I'm pretty shocked by the unprofessionalism from both sides George being completely insubordinate and Kawasaki not doing any damage control can't believe corporate hasn't stepped in🤷‍♂️

That 250 Qualifier session was one of the best ever, really great to watch!

PC boys top 3, shaking things up!

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. 

aren't top 10 in points seeded in automatically? Not sure how it works exactly. I assume the LCQ only has 3 qualifying spots now? or maybe that's an old rule. But I remember that being used a couple times in mud races and maybe southwick when top 10 riders were outside the top 36

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

Jorge can pull a holeshot from the pits.

But if he remains 13 sec off pace today, start is a formality.

Absolutely abysmal showing.

I would have liked to see Forkner in top10 in quali, but hmm, next year. I hope so much we will start to see Forkner constantly in Top10 next year, both in qualis and the motos.

Lets hope that his plan was/is to simply check out/figure out the track in qualifying and save all his energy for the motos???

I think we saw this rule showcased in 2020 with Zach Osborne too. There was only one practice because of covid or something and he had a bike issue in practice.

If this is a rule and it’s been that way how does Weege not know that?  There’s been more than a few instances where the broadcast team is clueless regarding this stuff as well as restarts.

So many questions...😗

How many spots are there on a national gate?

Will there be 41 riders on the gate or does the LCQ only take 3 riders?

OR does Jorge start 2nd row behind the gate?

Being 2nd row behind Jett is an unfair advantage to at least 16-40 gate pick.

Aye, just seen Lewis Philips' explanation. I'm curious to see if he'll line up!
