Podium at an almost fully stacked A1 is unbelievable. I didn't even think he'd get a single top 5 in SX this year.

Early days, but the amount of public goodwill he just gained and Kawi lost...

Kawi better hurry up and release that two stroke to save some face.

He bet on himself and came through. Literally nobody picked him to podium. Hell the moto media guys were calling marchbanks to finish higher than prado. Hats off that was incredible. He still has barely raced any sx due to injury. I’m already looking at mx and hes gonna be a problem.

So far, with Sextons help, he is making that Kawi look like an absolute piece of shit.

How does a new KX85 help?

They should be pissed at themselves and re-evaluate their own definitions of "doing everything they can" for a rider. Otherwise they are completely fucked.

jorge can just ride the rest of the 16 rounds out in 10-5 and he will still look brilliant …. kawi, not so much! As i said multiple times when a 4 time world champ says he isn’t getting what he needs from the bike maybe everyone can give him the benefit of the doubt next time!

He looked good all day and no one can deny that. I never thought he would have this kind of performance in supercross. He proved me wrong. Looks like he is better at supercross than I thought and it doesn’t hurt how good he is starting. Nothing wrong with another guy mixing it up on the podium so good for him.

I've been a Prado fan since his 250 gp days and supported him all the way through the Kawi things. 

But I have to say I truly didn't expect a supercross podium this season, especially with an almost full field still at the races

even he said on the podium he wasn't expecting to be up there.  SX has become "start"cross and he is phenomenal at that particular skill. He's got like 7 sx races under his belt.  If he stays this consistent in a form of racing he's not familiar with the outdoors is going to be real interesting.  The kind of interesting we were hoping it would be before the GREAT KAWK DISASTER of 25 lol

Too bad Prado cheated though, got to think his extra loud exhaust helped on the start.

Any of you guys think George had zero choice other than ride as hard as he could?

Maybe Chase can switch to it and salvage his season.

I think I rented "The Great Kawk Disaster" on VHS in the 90s from a dodgy video store.

It did the job.

I wonder why Fox didn’t gave Prado the new kit like to Roczen and Craig, also they didn’t share too much about his night and the podium, he’s been on the same kit for two months now

I think the KTM team is more strict with what they allow their riders to wear, want them to match the look of the bikes

I mean the new Fox gear was orange too, that’s why doesn’t make sense
