With all the hate the guy received in 2025, I'm excited to see what he can put together this season. He genuinely looks happy, and comfortable (not just on the bike) being back with the Austrian brand. Pair that with not being the only guy under the tent at the races, and I think he can definitely improve from 2025 (shouldn't be difficult).
Anyone else excited to see how Prado does at KTM?

Super excited personally, I remember watching MXGP 2024 and it stood out how comfy he was on his machine so I’m really interested to see how it translates being on essentially the same bike. Super spicy guess but I think he top 5’s a round very late in the year
I don't care how he does in SX. I hope he gets through all 17 rounds healthy so we can see what he can do outdoors.
Nope, not a fan. But I’m excited to see what Tomac does.
Couldn't care any less.

Of all the guys that switched brands he’s got the most pressure imo. If he doesn’t succeed and resorts to throwing the company and bike under the bus I think it’s bye bye America for him. Personally I was happy to root for him and wanted him to succeed before what I saw and heard last season. I really don’t care anymore.
I had high hopes last year and really believed he would get through SX methodically and shine in MX. It will be interesting to see what happens but he lost me as a fan last year.
Not really
I think in SX he will be a 8-10 guy, which considering minimal SX experience prior to 2024 really is not a bad finish at all. If he is able to be an 8-10 guy, he is beating past 250SX champions likely. By no means am I a fan of how he handled last year with Kawi, but I do believe if he is happy that outdoors he can be a 3-5 guy week in and week out.
Not a fan but hope he does ok
Wonder if he’s going to use his patent use of his hand to block roost on the new bike?
Interested, yes. I think he’ll do well. Great starts and 5-7 speed. Can’t say I’m a big fan though.
Does Prado know Kawasaki sells the most bikes?
Excited? No. Interested? Yes.
He turned off a lot of fans last year…
I'm just EXCITED for 2026.
Someone had to get the slow one.
I predict 10th-15th the first half of SX. If he survives the first half injury free, then 5th-10th the second half of SX.
How often will Marchbanks beat him in SX? That's definitely a battle I'm gonna keep an eye on lol.
Never was a fan in his GP days and he prove me right last year with his actions. If he does well , more power to him !
Pit Row
That's a good question for outdoors.
No, not all all
Prado who? Learn to live with that question maybe.
Yep I hope he struggles
Nah…hope he enjoys the bed he has made for himself….
I’m interested for sure… he’s all out of excuses if it doesn’t go well.
I’ll be paying attention, but just to see if he can put in a real effort.
Last year was pathetic, I don’t think I could ever be a fan of his after his outdoor performance.
Every video I have seen of ET on the pumpkin has looked pretty impressive. Maybe it’s flying at the test track though 🤷
Other than the scoop where there should never have been a scoop, he has looked great. And his body language and attitude seem like he’s fresh and fired up.
We could be in for something special.
The correct answer.
Spoken like a true gentleman 👌🏼
With how this year went he can come out hitting top 5s in sx and then get some consistent 3-7 in moto and he still won’t look good. I think 8-12 in sx then 4-7 outdoors if he’s dialed in.
