Prado is bringing a Jett-esque level of bike control/technique to SX. Unlikely Sexton is able to pull that line off consistently without crashing. Shows how talented he is on a bike to be this comfortable 1 year in.

I'm not a fan because of his antics last year. I'm sure the bike was an issue, but his attitude and level of professionalism and respect he showed in interviews IMO showed quite a poor character. That said, you have to respect his talent.
 

Even Herlings said in the GPs that Prado is probably the one guy with the most talent he's ever seen.

A lot of us share this sentiment. Doesn't excuse his behavior last year, but from a riding standpoint, I'm eating my words so far this year. 

What was kawi’s behaviour last year? We don’t know what led Prado to act like he did.

I know it’s fashionable to pick on Chase, but you are right.  Mitchell should have not only waited to rejoin, but then he cut across every line going slow.   Chase should have just stopped and thrown the hot lap away…but I guarantee Harrison went and apologized to Chase after.  He shouldn’t have been there putting so slow.

There's a common denominator for many of Chase' crashes. I don't think I'm the first to think he doesn't look very far up track compared to other guys. I mean, how else does he not notice that Harrison was stopped and just T-bones him?

I'm at the race and watched it go down...i couldn't believe Chase wasn't checking up or switching lines...the sun is bright, but like... you have to look ahead man. Chase is going to have a tough year if he can't start using his head.

Looks good from here in the Cook Islands guys. Tomac for sure is top seed. But, the racing is always the decider. Go Hunta!! Screenshot 20260115-150650 WhatsApp

Yeah, you’re not wrong about that but that type of riding is what separates guys. There’s a lot you can say about Prado about how he handled last year but that type of stuff shows he’s not just another rider circulating. The dude’s SX trajectory is looking promising as long as he’s riding something he feels comfortable on.

Harrison didn’t come from the mechanics area, I thought so also but when they showed the replay during the race you see it.

Practice crash, got muled off and checked at local hospital and was ok but beat up. He held his hip, side of belly. Both him and Triumph decided not to race.
