Who would have guessed at the start of the season that the biggest effort Prado would make, is in getting out of his existing contracts.
Hahaha
This is correct, I don’t know much about the series or the riders in the series. I don’t really care about the series , it has nothing to do with USMX. For instance, I never heard of Prado or his accomplishments in MXGP, till he arrived here. I’m basing my opinion about him on what he’s done here, which seems below par for someone with his resume. You don’t agree? Is it ok with you if I have an opinion based on what he’s done here in the US? If he actually lives up to the hype, I’ll certainly gladly will give him his due. BTW , I’m fairly confident that I haven’t committed on any other MXGP riders , other than Caroli, who I was very impressed with on the Ducati, mainly because I don’t know any of them.
You claimed earlier he’s simply overwhelmed by the speed and field of riders here. Anyone who watches MXGP knows he is not riding anywhere close to how he did over there. You seem to think this version of Prado is who he is. It’s just an ignorant view point is all.
Maybe you should watch MXGP. The racing is really good and the 2nd motos are on CBS Sports every weekend they race.
Prado and Jett could switch bikes and Prado is still left behind. These are not the same tracks here. Hopefully he will learn to ride these tracks sooner rather than later, but either way he's not racing against slouches here.
Calm down Soggy Biscuit. You sound like you've got Epstein Barr...or are you just a little banged up from smashing away on your keyboard?
Why does it bother you that I’m basing my opinion about Prado on his performance here in the US? After all he’s not in MXGP, so why is it relevant? Of course I’m ignorant about MXGP, I’m not interested in the series or what’s going on over there. I’m American and there’s plenty of racing here to keep track of. I’m sure that I also don’t know every nuance about our series’s over here. I don’t enjoy the sport that way and couldn’t care less about what brand of air filter a rider or team is using or the bend a particular rider might be using on his bars, ect ect ect. Just not my thing.
Don’t you think having as much info as possible and being as educated as you can be on a subject is valuable? I don’t give credence to financial opinions from someone that only took economics 101.
We’re not getting something as serious as personal financial advice. This is a spectator sport. We are spectators. People enjoy sports in different ways, I certainly don’t think that you having great knowledge of the in & outs of the sport is a waste of time for you ….. you enjoy that part of the sport and that’s great. I just don’t enjoy the sport the exact same way you do. We are different and that’s ok.
Rock on Kenny
Same to you Soggy!😎
The problem is that in order to keep him in his contract, I believe they'd have to continue to pay him.
It seems that Prado is playing a game, trying to get Kawasaki to release him from his contract without him having to pay them for the early exit.
If Kawasaki has, in good faith, been doing their best to tune their bike to Prado's liking, then I will not root for Prado for the foreseeable future.
If there's more to the picture, then I hope it comes out. An agreement is an agreement.
You can base an opinion on only his performance in the US.
But that doesn’t mean your opinion is correct..
Of course, opinions are subjective, so you will consider it correct. But you admitted you know nothing about the Euro series, and anybody who does, will know your opinion is incorrect.
Oscar spending several weeks at club MX and Taka coming over from Japan sure sounds like a team doing everything to help the rider.
Pit Row
Ok, I can live with that!😂
Thats correct Prado is playing a game and trying to avoid accountability and responsibility for his own decisions and behaviour. He's trying to get out with zero consequences.
I can understand Kawi standing firm. Prado comes in, gets paid the big bucks to do so, disrespects them, puts in no effort, then just wants outs hands clean, leaving a wake of distruction in the rear view mirror? Tarnishing kawis reputation. No accountability. Yeah na that ain't cool.
If I were Kawi I’d pay him to sit on the bench, or ride, his choice. Or, pay back some large percentage, reflecting his work ethic, to leave. That young lad needs to learn a life lesson that publicly shitting on your employer can have negative consequences. Really, what if he goes to KTM and does well, that looks bad on Kawi and costs them sales. His salary is KHI chump change. They can decide what is in their best interest and I’m guessing their desire to accommodate little Jorge is roughly zero. Hard to think how I was a huge fan of him coming over and hoped he would do well.
I think they should force him to stay around long enough for Chase to make him look like a goon at A-1 next year.
My take:
1) I don’t think Prado was completely over his injury, whether that be in his head or physically. It was obvious he was scared of crashing.
2) Anderson and Prado? Something had to be wrong for both of them to have struggled as much as they did after 10 minutes on the bike!
JT is reporting he's gonna do SMX on the Kawi. How is this even remotely possible? The team has zero confidence in him, he hates everything about the bike, his own damn engine guy blew him out on Insta....How do they come together and actually pull off these races? If I was him, i REALLY wouldn't trust the bike with people that hate me are the ones working on it, the team is gonna be biting their nails to see if he even TRIES, and oh my, if he pulls another Budds Creek at an SMX round, the internet will explode.
Well Hes automatically qualified into the smx rounds. But yea it’s gotta be awkward.
Kawi and monster likely need to field a rider and he is under contract so push comes to shove they have to mend fences as best they can for at least a month.
That's better than I would have guessed. I was honestly expecting something outside the top 10. (Not paying much attention, I guess.)
He got more than I thought tbh 😅
How many of those were before Webb, AP and others got hurt or pulled out?
5 of them were from RedBud or previous
If you're kawi, you do everything he asks, triple check everything, all business in every interaction, and otherwise keep your head down and mouth shut. What prado does from there is on him. If he rolls around in last you get his bike ready for him to do it 5 more times and then you move on.
