He was good to go… he lined up, just like Lewis said. Prado was obviously hurting more than he initially thought, and he pulled out during the heat.

I feel really bad for Lewis. The team fucked him over, just say that you don't know at this point and that they are monitoring the situation. Don't say everything is ok to media that will share it and look like an idiot when its clearly not true.

My bookie broke both my legs last night after I couldn't pay up. How can you sleep at night Lew? With great power comes great responsibility!

If you didn’t expect whorehay to quit after a crash that’s on you. 
You really should have known.

I go directly to the team and get told, "Yeah, it's all good! Everything checked out. It's all good..."

I have three options: Share it, keep it to myself or pull out a lie detector test.

Today was the first option. In future, I'm just not bothering. Tweet other media guys for updates.

Did the same people who told Tomac he was fine last year when he broke his leg tell Prado he was fine last night?

Usually a large rider get off in daytime qualifying (especially one that requires Alpinestar medical unit transport and evaluation) does not translate to success in the night show.  "Good to go" from a team really means "The rider will line up at the start and make an attempt." Most fans know this.

Add to that he took a ride with medics. I always see that as a more serious sign than the guy riding off on his own and getting checked out. Aside from the Eli achilles injury, he’s a different animal.

It was a learning moment.  Going forward, "The team says Good To Go...I guess we'll see come show time".

You've done your job and covered your ass.

I made up for it by being (I think) the only person to get Kenny and Hunter. That's my 'sorry' present to you all.

Kenny's kill switch story was gold.

As with the other thread supporting your first ride in a decade and quoting Teddy Roosevelt on “stepping into the arena”, that is relevant here too. Don’t be afraid to take a stand, to step into the arena and be judged and be wrong at times. Being silent and not reporting in fear of being occasionally wrong is not the way. 
 

Is that last bit a Cooksey quote? 😁

Not going to lie at first I was a little miffed at the report when I grabbed his line then he doesn’t make it two turns.  Then being a rational adult I understand Lewis isn’t to blame.  He was given information and reported on it.  I DO think that the teams need to be held accountable for injury designations and truthful reports.  Lewis what do you think?
