on a brand he excelled with in Europe, maybe not the same faces but familiar environment, I think he'll have a lot better season. 

Well he better not have a worse season than last year!! What would that look like?!

But when testing the screw driver he was promised they could turn it into a hammer but that promise never came true. 
you think kawi would have been happy if he came out in his first interview after signing and say the bikes not great but theyve promised to make it better??

Poor George....just a victim....You would think he would have learned that making statements like he has in last years video that to not say the same thing again....I still don't know why he always has to tell us how great he is but has yet to show us that here...

Either way he has backed himself into a hell of a corner, the only thing that fixes this is race wins outdoors. Everyone expects him to be still learning indoors, but outdoors there’s nowhere to hide. Time will tell, but 2026 will be the most important year of his career

He doesn't need to win, just beat the privateers. That will be an improvement.

I dont get why he isnt racing WSX, even 1-2 rounds. That would be a good start & help him get gate drops & live testing like Tomac.

Poor Dawn. Always offended at anything European or world supercross related. You would think he would learn that he's only solidifying his rep as a curmudgeon.

I don't see the connection to Deegan at all. 

Side note. Yall see Tomac throwin oppo's at wsx? Cant say that ive seen that before. You know who does throw oppos? el george. Imagine if they rode together. Eli with starts... El George learning from Tomac... could they give the Hunta bros something? Who knows. 

Pretty psyched for the season and hoping we see ol deegznutz line up on the 450 too.

I thought that too but those gate drops are for fine tuning for someone that has already ridden a lot of sx. I think he needs a full offseason just learning how to ride an sx track without the distractions of racing. He for hurt the first couple weeks at kawi before a1 and hardly had any sx prep time last year.

I personally like that he is putting out videos like this because as fans it gives us a story to follow and see if he can actually win/ be up front or if he gets served a nice big piece of humble pie. I am a Kawi fan, so I was pumped to watch him ride last year for the team and that quickly went down hill and became embarrassing to cheer for him. I have let the frustration go from last season and want to see someone join the front to challenge for a podium or win. But on the flip side like so many others have said. If it doesn't go well and he has even a sliver of poor performance, people are going to be all over him on it. As a fan it makes me excited for SX and outdoors to see if he can rebound and show everyone he does have true speed or if it will just be the same stuff on a different color and energy sponsor. Either way makes for great entertainment and man is he exposed now if it goes bad.

No other contractors had an issue with the screwdriver. They all thought it was a hammer.

Either that or he had a change of heart and did it himself. I didn’t think he said anything worthy to get booted in my personal opinion. I’m curious where Herlick and magoofan are? Those guys made things entertaining in here.

He did threaten people in the one message about "making it personal". I saw it, I stupidly responded to it and called it out, and now its all gone. When I read it, I figured it was only a matter of time before clean up on vital aisle 12. He was funny tho.

He actually did make me think of something positive though. The next season will be more suspenseful and exciting to watch with Jorge there for me. I want to see him eat some humble pie. Don't know why, just like watching people that high on their horse fall a few notches I guess. And honestly, it will probably make him a better person eventually.

I read through his posting history and his first posts were dragging Pierer Group for its awful treatment of George at the end of his last MXGP championship. I'm guessing family member or manager. At least I hope so.

Yeah I guess I did see him threaten to make it personal as well. Fair enough. Maybe a rough day at work or something and wanted someone to argue with. I found it entertaining as well and I couldn’t agree more with you on the pie. I prefer the quiet person that shows what they have on the track compared to the video talking about it. Guess that’s why I love Tomac and I’ve watched him in Colorado when he was a young kid. I want to see Jorge get spanked, mellow out and then come back fighting. That would make for a bad ass season.

Haha no worries guys, I didn't take it serious, can just laugh about stuff like that on the internet. Every single old comment from him on this forum was about Prado, so he probably just had a small crashout here seeing how people won't praise his favorite rider like he does and that didn't sit well with him.

I just want to acknowledge the hard work of many at Kawasaki that believed in Prado, and did everything they could to equip him for success.

You believed in his obvious ability to ride a motorcycle, and sacrificed at times to provide him with the best you could offer. You placed no limits, and made every effort to provide him with the same quality of support that has allowed other's to be champions on your brand.

You are true professionals and excellent representatives of how passion drives performance in your duties.

Thank you for investing in what should have been a rewarding and enjoyable season of supporting one of this sports notable champions.

 

Can any of this be attributed to Prado in his own words to acknowledge the considerable efforts invested on his behalf?

Wealth and youth can readily blind someone with ignorance of those in the background.  

Just my opinion.
