🙄  Yeah ok. Prado had Spain's first gate pick and got a holeshot. Jett didn't, crashed and still worked his way up. Also, pretty sure this was Jett's first ever 450 race.

Nobody is saying Prado is better than Jett. But saying he'll never ever beat him anywhere is pretty stupid when he's beat him more than almost anybody. 

Also ernee wasn't jetts first 450 race. He had a perfect season in 2023. Time flies

Prado has nothing for Jett. Imo, he has nothing for Hunter or Chase and I'll even throw Eli in there. But we will see next year.

you have an opinion about prado ..but have you actually seen him in person.......it's quite simpel ....if you can beat gaijer and herlings .. you can beat anyone

Posting old results is the biggest cope I have ever seen. But we got a glimpse at Southwick and that ride showed what he can do. He will 100% be better on the KTM platform again but you guys really need to just appreciate Jett and stop being such little bitches about him. If you think he’s nothing special than you don’t know shit about the sport and probably can’t ride well or don’t ride at all - it’s impossible for anybody with an appreciation for this game to feel any other way. The battle we will see in 26’ will be Prado vs 38 and I got Prado in that battle.

Fact is, if Jett and Hunter weren't so good, every other rider would be a little bit happier with their bike. The fact that they're both on hondas makes it easier to point to the bike as the advantage.

How’s he do on the Ktm? Does he ride the whole contract? Does he get it extended or go somewhere else after?


What’s your predictions on kawis 2nd rider?

The Prado / Deegan battles next year (outdoors) are going to be awesome!  It'll give us something to watch after the top 3 check out.

This is probably very accurate. 

Prado will do good at MXON and that prep. It’s completely different than US tracks.

so confused, how could he go back to Kawi? He just signed with KTM. Are you suggesting he does the same thing Prado did and walk out on his contract?

So there you have it. They were trying everything to keep him and make him happy but he gave up on the team. Just as a lot of us have been saying.

How many threads and pages can there be on a subject that is pure speculation?! None of us know, yet, what really went on. 
I also find it very puzzling that some people don’t seem to understand that a bike can work for one person and not another……one of the basics of moto racing; personal setup.
Like wtf people, get a grip.

Dude that’s honestly the most retarded thing I’ve ever read. How tone deaf. First you don’t know anything about his personal life whatsoever. 

Second, you probably don’t understand what it’s like to pour every ounce of your soul into a tiny hourglass, flip it over when you go pro, and to be up against a ticking clock every second of every day to perform and carve out your legacy with everything on the line. 

From his perspective I can easily see how he can be in a literal panic mindset as his value tanks and he loses a precious 10-15% of his effective career window. 

people like you who always have to go into the “struggle Olympics” whenever hard times come up are sad. You have your problems - deal with him. This man has his own - he’ll deal with them. Go outside and talk to someone besides yourself.

Plenty of people pour every ounce of their soul into a tiny hourglass, they start a business, go to college, get married, on and on. Prado doesn't have a quarter million in student loans and can't get a job in his field, Prado didn't cash out a 401k and refinance his house to start a business, or put the lives of other people in his hands - like doctors, airline pilots, first responders. He is a spoiled Prima Donna, who shits on his co-workers publicly. He gets paid to do what many people pay to do and doesn't appreciate it.

Don’t respond, you’re beyond reason. 

I am not 13 years old, I don't "hate" Prado, just stating the obvious.

If you've been keeping up wit the ordeal, seems pretty reasonable.  Interviews with test riders, knowing that they were constantly testing, spending the lions share of the summer at club.

If the team was fcuking about, monster would have known too... and you can bet they would have been on the horn right away.  No way kawi-monster pays him 2+ mil a year to not give a full effort.

And that same Tomac's dad said on record that they left Kawasaki because the Tomacs felt they had more in them and Kawasaki was too conservative and weren't able to deliver changes that they wanted. And he went on a won more.

So lets just stop pretending that 100% of the blamepie of this shitshow is on Prado. Or at least i hope Kawasaki realizes that, because Sexton wont be easy on them.

The key difference between Prado and Tomac is that Tomac gave it his best until the very end winning 2 of the last 3 races his final year with the team. It took his dad doing a podcast with Matthes months later to find out that he wasn’t entirely happy with the bike, you never heard a peep from Eli himself. Prado blamed the team the entire time and basically quit on them mid season. There really is no comparison here in my opinion.

Heck yeah, let's hope he finds what ever he needs. It is understandable to me him having a hard time finding results this season, he had plenty to adapt to, plus the injury. But his behavior, attitude, and reaction wasn't cool at all. Let's hope he uses this as a growth opportunity. He didn't invent the premise of a young man being an asshole, especially in pro sports. If he has a real shitty SX season I can see Decoster and company having a real short leash on him.

Huh? Where in this Prado thread did you get that people are being "little bitches" about Jett? And no one on the planet days he's nothing special. Relax, Jett isnt reading thread. Hes not gonna DM you

Anybody notice that Kawasaki’s PR statement didn’t include anything about being dissatisfied with Prado’s performance? In fact, it says absolutely nothing about the 2025 season, they just say they “reached a settlement” and wished him the best.

It makes sense for both sides to take the high road (and it’s likely part of the settlement agreement), but that means we’ll never get the official story and will have to continue with speculation.
