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

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.

It truly boggles the mind. They had a 450SX champion and a 4x World Champion on the team last year, but the last elite guy they had was AC? Just funny at this point

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?

Have you ever watched a GP?

The most dominant Prado performance I ever saw was MXGP Spain 2024. Rut-o-cross.

This is SX, you don't run SX suspension and chassi setup on an MXGP track.

People also said GP riders can’t ride SX whoops. 
After just a few races Prado is now regularly one of the fastest through them.

Some says that whoops arent big and i agree but the whoops are the same for all the riders on track. So no excuses...

Om not saying he will be bad. But a win at Daytona where both Roczen and ET is super strong. That's a tall order.

SX on east coast is almost like starting all over again. 

If he has ridden a lot with Baker, maybe he already has good settings and are adjusted to the bland sand surface.

Kawasaki said when they hired him he’d be a podium guy in SX but many doubted it. Turns out he just had to try.

Honestly, no one’s opinion is wrong to have but for me I see it as a guy who did what he had to do to get out of a what? 3 year contract with Kawi. Neither Kawi or monster where letting him go. Had he truly tried to make it work and got subpar results I don’t think either company would let him happy. He took the extreme measures to get out of the contract, said screw what people think of me for it and bet on himself to get the KTM ride and get back to his MXGP winning self. Already a huge improvement. 

A lot of people on here would get further ahead in life if they didn’t care so much about what others might think of themselves.

Judging by some of these threads, there appears to be a real opportunity for someone to make a small fortune selling life-sized Prado love-dolls that come equipped with the Happy Ending feature. 😍 BTW, it is Valentine's Day, so...

Contact me to arrange intellectual property payments. Don't worry, I'm not greedy.

You what’s hilarious too, even with all the “quitting” he was still 6th for the season on a bike and team that he clearly hated… and that same bike and team is still clearly struggling…

I don't even understand why people constantly compare SX to his outdoor season where he was obviously mentally done already. He came into SX injured and then get injured again at the third round, he never even got a chance to prove himself there. Nobody knows how he would have done in SX.

At least wait until summer to make comparisons.

Prado has been constantly beating Sexton in qualifying and racing all in the handful of SX races he's ridden. Can we just say the Kawi is a piece of doodoo?

I wonder how long people are going to dislike this guy because he quit the worst possible team to be on? Chase is a few races away from doing the same. He went from championship talks to hoping to be inside the top 5. Kawi sucks and Prado just didn’t give a shit and made it known.

The points would indicate otherwise.  Did you happen to miss A-2 this year?

My assessment hasn't changed...he a fast talented rider who is a complete ass for how he handled himself last year...has nothing to do with speed or talent and has everything to do with personality and actions....find it hard to believe that apologists fail to understand that and think that those that are critical of him are being critical of his talent when in reality its all about how he handled himself last year...

The issue is that most of the people that are critical towards him and last year completely disregard the other part of the story with Kawasaki not doing "everything they could" for him etc. Kawasaki failed Prado just as much as Prado failed them.

You are also disregarding the fact that Kawi never publicly said anything dispariging about Prado and continued to put 100% effort into trying to get the bike to his liking (whether they are capable or not doesn't matter). while at the same time Prado was complaining publicly about the team and bike....the final straw was his attempt to purposely not qualify.... I get it, he didn't gel with the bike and was never comfortable on it and wanted out of his contract....but there are way better ways to do that behind the scenes, out of the public eye without damaging either party...but he chose to make it public, he chose to try to not qualify...he chose the path it went down and that is why I lost respect for him although I consider him to be one of the elites when it comes to talent on a motorcycle his charachter  is what is questionable....

Blatantly untrue. Kawasaki leaked to the press very early on that they couldn't get the bike right because Prado "didn't practice hard enough."  Ciancurillo (sp?) dutifully mentioned it on Pulp.  That was the beginning of the end and waaaay before Budds Creek.
