I will be amazed if he wins in SX this season. I don’t believe he’ll win an outdoor overall this coming season either but I wouldn’t be amazed if he did. At any rate his performance so far this year is good , but far from serving up crow.
I don’t think he’ll win SX either, but I disagree with outdoors. He’s a bad dude outdoors & if this version of Prado turns up healthy at Fox for Rd1, I think he’ll be in the conversation for a win most weekends. He’s gotta get one or two imo
Prado is doing great on the KTM, Sexton has won on the Kawasaki this year.
Does that prove that Prado was right and it was too dangerous for him to push on the Kawasaki or it is good enough to win on and he didn't put in the effort ?
Sexton, one of the heavy title favourites, has 1 podium through 5 races. I know there is always a period of adaptation when changing brands but let’s not pretend it’s all rosy over there. So far on the Kawi Sexton is well below his usual standards too

Dude just completed the 11th (?) Supercross event of his career. I don't know if he'll continue to improve at this pace, but what he's done so far is historic.
I have nothing against him personally but it looks to me like Chase is struggling when the track loses the immediate surface loam and slicks up (perhaps??). I noticed the same at A1 when he was blistering in practice but all over the place (struggling with the rear of the motorcycle especially) come the main. Tonight he didn't look wild or anything, just flat - like he couldn't push at all. As for Jorge, yeah very good once again.
Man Nicols was only a lap down from giving Prado some elbow grease out there !!
Prado letting the good times roll. Just getting through SX and already beating big SX legends week by week.
Kawi team manager saying Sexton is not comfortable on the bike.
Wasn't it that Sexton would be able to win or podium on any bike no matter what? Just ride around it. Specially with Jett out.
Prado will not win this season unless riders start to fall off. He has what's needed on the right night but has also said he will under no circumstances ride over his head to go for a win and risk the season.
You will need to push some to win in this field.
If Prado still improving as much as now every week, yes, I can see him winning an sx ME this year
If there is a race with the other 5-6 riders that can win is not in top 3 at 10min mark yes.
But he said it himself yesterday or Friday, he will not risk anything, he is here to log laps.
I think with the result he has been showing, it's even less likely he will win. Reason is that he already has produced results and showed his capabilities and that means he has showed himself what he can do and silenced the doubters. He has nothing left to proof this season in SX. Just log laps, get experience.
It would be cool if he got a win. Maybe a triple crown?
You could say that about any win though, would Kenny have won if Eli hadnt crashed, and that is why we race.
Especially straight to the premier 450 class... bold move.
Has anyone ever done that?
He needs to find an asshole riding coach or hire DV12 and get his mind right about the bike comfort BS. obviously setup matters but if Kenny can work the entire field on a 15yo chassis with OTS suspension, maybe it's in chases head and he needs to suck it up and ride the motorcycle.

Good moto knowledge you have there!

Prado likely will win a main event this year. He’ll be a real contender for SX title next year.
Seems that after his EMX125 championship in 1994, he raced two 125 West SX races in 1995. Didn't knew it either, great catch from @APLMAN99 in this topic: Notable riders who've skipped 125/250 SX
IMO he's doing better than I expected, he may get a podium here and there,but can not see him on the top step.
If the Kawasaki fiasco did not occur, I rekon more people would be giving him a pat on the back for his performance so far
I’ll go out on a limb. He gets a win in SX, this year.
Daytona should be possible
I'm thinking the opposite? Rut fest, choppy, never been on anything remotely like that for SX i guess?
Aldons soft black dirt Florida tracks is closest but do they let them get that broken down during regular season?
People, you really need to look back when Jorge was riding MXGP and in what races did he win. I remember one year Switzerland, he passed Gaijser from the inside, really rutty braking zone, and Jorge was up on the bike having a tear off when passing Gaijser. Then I realized, Jorge's bike skill and talent are out of this world.
I told you that all of you making fun of Prado will have thir mouths full of shit for talking shit. The smartest group holds their mouths shut now, the dumber ones still do not get it. The americans are done in the SX. When Tomac retires who's the next guy who can beat the guys who have an euro backround? Webb is the only one who has the fight in him. All others are jumping whoops - americans on a 450 are jumping whoops
If you listen to this weeks Pulp review show from about 38 mins, you can really get a sense of how out of touch some of the staff over at Kawi really are
You gonna have to post a link, because i cant find that anywhere.
I dropped my jaw when i heard that. It's just incredible what kind of bubble that team has lived in, and seemingly still do.

Talking about AC and Anderson?
