I was referring to Jkawi saying this… “Anyways, i'm done. Not worth it. You can't win arguing with stupid people.”…. And you commented he took the “high road”.

Cool 👍🏻
Because there is an exceedingly small amount of people who can ride a motorcycle that fast and NONE of them would agree to such a clause.
They will call it the George clause

All I wanted to say is "GO PRADO".
NONE of the people criticizing you have won a World Motocross Championship, let alone 3.
Frankly baffled how people who, have nothing do with the sugar "energy" drink + Japanese manufacturer, feel so passionately about a Spanish person letting THEM down.
This is an uber-elite level athlete who wants to win so badly that he can rationally see the setup around him won't deliver the results. Nothing more, nothing less.
Looking forward to the nationals next year when it's 2 Australians and a Spaniard at the front.
Prado will be 5-7 again.
I don't get the impression the backlash has anything to do with his nationality. But you are correct, I have never won a series recognized by the FIM as a world championship so I may be wrong.
Me too. I guess I can't comment on a guy trying to NOT qualify as being less than elite world championship winning behavior.
I recall Jeremy McGrath had some criticism of Prado's efforts https://www.vurbmoto.com/jeremy-mcgrath-on-jorge-prados-kawasaki-drama-he-was-trying-to-get-fired/, but he's just a regional champion. Nowhere near the caliber of Prado and not fit to have an opinion either.
Bless your heart.....
McGrath is 200% kawi so you cant take anything he says on this topic serious. What is he supposed to say, bike and team isn't great? It's the same with AC.
Prado is 200% Prado so you can't take anything he says on this topic serious.
See how stupid that sounds?
McGrath isn't Reed, he's not opinionated and always looking for someone to hear his take.
McGrath crashed and dislocated his hip and decided it wasn’t worth it anymore and retired.
Not the same.
Prado is Prado, that's a given isn't it.
But what is stupid is thinking the number one kawi ambassador would have a unbiased opinion in this matter, or even hint about Kawi team or bike being off if it was off.
The King of SX said what most people were thinking…..
He has the option to say nothing, he was moved to go a different route and it's not because of the paycheck
27 pages about a rider that gave up on his obligation and bailed! Really?
Pit Row
With Bajaj today announcing a 50% cut to marketing/racing budgets, wonder how KTM would even have the ability to add Jorge (and the resources to support him) above and beyond their existing contracts/obligations?
KTM has money somehow, Eli’s not taking a pay cut to go there.
Eli is part of what I am including in their "existing contracts," and the cuts were announced today.
Redbull has money.
Absolute weakest comment on the forum. You don’t need a title to share your opinion about someone or something if you aren’t aware.
Baffled that you are baffled, but commented as well
His uber elite ness should have had him continue to power that Kawasaki for the rest of the race after holeshoting and leading laps…nothing more , nothing less
2/3rds correct…
Funny that she played Carmela Soprano's mom on The Sopranos.
Idk how I didn’t think of this. So Eli is now a Red Bull athlete. Hmm
Yeah, a lot of the team sponsors fund the racing program. I'm not sure what percentage KTM put in, but the racing side of things is ran as a separate business to the brand itself. Which is why the team could carry on racing in 2025.
Weakest comment on here? If I can't walk imagine walking in someone else's shoes, I can't criticise. Give me a 100 lifetimes and I know I couldn't get a top 10 in an MXGP race.
No-one on here, from Don M to John the plumber, can understand what a truly elite level rider needs. The only person who I have listened to was McGrath, who is tied to Kawi and will understandably side with them.
Prado, mate, go show us how it's done.
Well, we ready to wrap this thread up?
Its cool that he can be a brand ambassador for a manufacturer he didnt race for.
How many people that rode the Kawasaki have gone on to work with them after . ?
RV jumped to Yamaha, after 'not being able to ride' the Kawasaki. Remember the 'crash' ?
I thought McGrath raced a Kawasaki in 1990?
