This is getting overblown. Chase has had issue with every bike he’s rode and has won this season. Also, I think anyone who rides has had a bike they didn’t gel with. That should be considered in Prados case not just automatically assuming the bikes unrideable.

Have we though? Carmichael, Stewart , RV , AC , Anderson had success and never complained. Eli as far as I know just said they weren’t willing to experiment not so much the bike sucked but I suppose you could imply it to an extent. Prado is the only one who clearly and truly hated it. They also don’t seem to have any issue overseas. I could be wrong just going on memory.

I know Jake said they would just say RV likes this run it. From memory I thought Eli had implied that team had pulled all the fun out and he was close to retiring. There have been lots of murmurs but can’t remember other specific instances.

There is so much evidence during a large time period. It’s just undeniable at this point.

I wonder if AC9 will get of the Kawasaki high horse now. Maybe even rethink his career being exclusively on the green machine.

Is it time for a 107% rule? Last in qualifying makes it into the night show because there aren't enough entries, yet will be lapped on lap 3. Is this safe? Is Jase right?

Prado: 50.x

David pulley Jr : 1:09

This forum is funny sometimes. Chase gets Kawi its first win in years, yet here we are with pitchforks and lanterns drawing parallels from every top rider in the last two decades.

You can think someone handled a situation horribly and looked like a jackass but still know that they are a good person and someone capable of winning. Jorge is awesome, he can win a Supercross, he is a multi time world champion, but he also handled the Kawi situation poorly. I’m still rooting for him, but winning doesn’t make everything he did in the past just go away.

I started racing on a "74 KX 125.  Fast and stable as a 5 rail fence in a straight line, no matter how cobby.  But that bitch wouldn't turn fer shit.  I've got the knees to prove it.

My buddy had the same year TM.  My god...that thing could carve a corner sharper than a ginsu knife.  It had brakes that were ether zero or full lock and rear end swap/headshake worse than a downtown tweaker.

I say all this to say...sometimes you just gotta ride what ya got and find a way to make it work.🙃

I agree with most of what you said, except we still don’t KNOW exactly what that situation was.
That’s the biggest factor for me; everyone was very quick to bash him, but no one actually knew, and still doesn’t, what he was dealing with. 
It appeared that Prado quit, however Kawi’s silence on the matter also gives the impression of guilt to me.

25 seconds a lap from the next placed guy. 6 laps down.

You do know he's legally blind, don't you?

Ever try riding with a red-tipped cane in one hand?
