Man he must be REALLY confident that it's 100% the bike.
Kind of backed himself into a corner and has to perform or it will look really bad. Not that it doesnt already look bad

Yeah, it's looking like it might happen sooner than MXoN. According to all the top level moto people here in New Jersey.

Considering a lot of the American KTM riders have had set up and rear shock issues. I’m really surprised he is this confident. Is he gonna just mail it in if the KTM is not 100% perfect?  

After watching a few of the Tony Cairoli interviews he mentioned  that Prado doesn’t have much experience setting up his own bike. So should make for an entertaining  follow.

Apparently MXGP KTM doesn't have the same rear shock issue, so that should be fine.

Some people in Spain are saying this? Must be true! 

 

(I wouldn't be surprised to see him on KTM but are there any better sources yet?)

Prado doesn't care about MXoN. Especially this year.

I think you're kidding yourself if you feel Prado won't be better back on KTM. 

He mentally checked out of Team Green a while ago and doesn't care to even try. It's not a bike/team thing, it's a personal choice thing. I think less of him for how he handled this season, but I have no doubt he will ride a lot better after leaving Kawasaki.

Agree. It’s also strange to think of summer ‘26 if he was truly that uncomfortable yet able to randomly match the pace of the leaders. Should be some wild racing.

If this is true, it would be WILD if he should up on the KTM and waxed the field.

makes sense, and like Matthes and The Jasons were saying, he would really want to race MXDN on a KTM to try win individual and make a point, "see, I told you Pendejos!"
I would be surprised if he's Top 5.

Ironically he is also on record saying (and I'm paraphrasing) his gas gas, at least in SX, felt like a pig compared to the Kawasaki. It just randomly popped up as a youtube short for me yesterday. I think he was on gypsy tales when he said it.

KTM must be desperate if they hire this guy.  He dissed GASGAS to go to Kawasaki didn't he?   The only contract I would give him is $1 per race, and to earn any money, it would all be bonus money for his finish.  If he proves he is worthy, and can be a contender, he can get a real contract in 2027.

whatever you do, do NOT ask the top motocross people in jersey to demonstrate proper "scrubbing" technique.

it will not end well.
