God help him (and them) if they change platforms in the middle of his contract term.
Why do you care so much if someone takes a "dig" at any rider? It wasn't a personal attack or offensive. Just said he gave up which I think is agreed on by all, just whether or not that it was justified, moral, or the proper course of action is what the "argument" is about. They all have their quirks. Pretty ambiguous statement to be getting up in arms about. Not everyone needs to cheer for your guy.
Do you really feel like you should be the officer of the forum for all the "Prado dig-takers"? Do you want to marry Jorge Prado or something?
"Im not down for an argument, but I want to call out (argue with) the Prado dig-takers" which you followed up on by accusing and singling out someone? Yep doesn't sound like you want to argue at all...
Are you new to the forum?
Almost every thread contains someone making a derogatory statement about a rider, followed by fans of that rider standing up for him.
It’s not a new thing..
He is looking for a feeling now. The Sexton part starts at 26:00

Like when it changes in 2027.
I think its a little bit of Egg on the face. He won and than did that interview. Than after that has been a non factor.
I know alot of the interview was not all about his riding. But I dont know. He has a super loose interview. Crossed a couple lines with some people. That is fine. Than radio silence the past two races.
You cant say that much in an interview but than disappear once your not winning.
Big Chad Reed fan. But I can see another team 22 in a couple years. Team 4
Sexton is square in the middle of this title chase. He gets going later in the season, a little like Webb. It might just take him that long to get comfortable with the bike each year….
The only reason he gets hot at the end of the seasons, is because the field is typically thinned out and the points leader is managing by than.
Even Chases championship year. Tomac was in full championship mode when he got hurt. Everyone else was out already, so a 2nd wasnt too hard for Eli by than. Webb last year got the points he needed, than prevented risk.
I will say mentally, riding etc he does seem to go next level end of season. But he just went there after 1 win a couple weeks ago.
He isn't out of this. But right now he doesn't seem in it.
Sexton and Webb are both similar distance out. But Webb looks ready to battle for this championship. Those first rounds just silly crashes.
Only a pussy would justify that behavior.
You could go through my posting history and see i never talk shit about the riders, I have respect and I was raised better than a lot of you.
With so much changes every weeks, Chase just seems lost to be honest. He has to stop questioning the bike, work on himself, on his focus, and that might get better.
How does Chase get an easy win a couple weeks ago, and then follow it up with 5th, and a 7th the next 2 races?
To analyze the championships they won in this era, (starting with 450 4 strokes) Stewart, back from injury was unstoppable on the 450 outdoors in 08'.
Villopoto could win anywhere in SX or MX. Lots of battles, but he kinda dominated on Kawasaki 450's.
Tomac like Villopoto stacked championships on the Kawasaki 450. Yes he left for his reasons and we know some of it was the bike, some was the team. But had he stayed, he undoubtedly would've won more championships on green.
Now Kawasaki's had some very disappointing seasons in the 450 class. Am I ready to panic on Chase just yet. Absolutely not.
It's crazy these guys are still trying to figure things out with the bike and rider though. They had plenty of time to get things fairly dialed. But I do also remember even the Lawrence brothers having at least some issues with the new Honda. I remember Webb having issues with KTM. Even had a brace or gusset taken off the frame other guys were running. So I give Chase some grace here to get things dialed to his liking. But if they're still balttling this bike a couple weeks past Daytona, and Chase hasn't had a couple good races by then, I might start to question Chase and the whole team at Green. Because something will for sure need to change after all the success they've had.
With a field this tight you're kind of screwed if you fumble the start or first lap. We know what he does on starts, so really no surprise that he can't win coming from outside the top 10 after the first lap. The top 5 are all solid and basically interchangeable on any given night so he can't expect to give them a huge lead and still win
Exactly. His start was awful, especially when a good start is so important on a track lkie that one. Plus, they said he may have been sick.
That said, I expect him to be battling up front every week. He has the speed. If he doesn't thats on him.
He absolutely is still in it. You can't have Sexton speed and not be in it this early in the season. With that said, his early season has been an absolute failure thus far, whereas in the past he has both started and finished strong (with a lot of his head scratching mistakes being concentrated mid-season). If they get the bike figured out right now, he is my pick for the title, but that is currently a huge if that gets much bigger with every poor performance.
On Pulp, Lewis said Chase was feeling better Saturday and he didn't use it as an excuse. Team is chasing a feeling (!) that isn't found yet. Perhaps Chase smartly backed it down when he felt to close to the edge.
So now your angle is everyone argues on the forum, that what a forum is? cool man. Feel bad for the people around you.
Why do you care so much I called out someone who took a dig at Prado?
It wasnt an attack on you, what’s it got to do with you?
Do you really feel like you should be the officer of the forum and reprimand me for calling out something that was nothing to do with you? Who gave you a badge of authority??
😉
Pit Row
And another clown gets blocked.
How do you figure? Chase has finished the last three 450 SX seasons Jett has finished one season. Well I guess you could say that Jett has Chase covered 95% of the time when he is not hurt.
How involved is his dad? Does anyone even know on here? From what I see it’s nothing crazy, I don’t see him on the line or doing interviews for him like other parents.
Dont forget Febvre won the championship on this bike in Europe. And according to their test rider on Gypsy tales, it wasnt a works frame. Stock frame. I think we will see Sexton at his best outdoors.
I wish we can know what happened with kawi/Prado last year (Kawi made Prado sign a contract to do not talk about it) with that maybe we can understand what Chase is going trought and what Prado went last year.
Kawi is not a bad bike but the team needs to change their work metthods, maybe take a look to mxgp team and develop the bike the same way as they do for Febvre or just be more open to real changes on the bike.
Btw as a Prado fan I’m happy with what I’m seeing.
After Glendale, most of the media people mentioned ”panic button”.
(Sorry for the shitty AI generated pic, no Sexton hate!) 😎
Once his dad gets a cool nickname he’ll be on TV
Well he is his practice mechanic when Chase is in Florida.
Man... You really told us!
Sexton and Febvre literally could not have more different riding styles. Febvre grew up in super motard and is ALL rear wheel focused. Sexton is entirely front rear focused, hence the tuck the front episodes. And Febvre later told Matthes in his MXDN interview that his frame definitely was not stock. I think that Kawasaki employee was being a good corporate soldier, but told us a little fib.
Febvre and Sexton couldn't be further apart when it comes to how they ride the bike. Febvre rear steers, Chase is 100 front.
Villo and Febvre is closer.
