So he quit as soon as he faced some kind of problem.  Got it.  Sounds par for the course. Fast when everything is going perfect.  Quits when it isn't?   Dude had one great race.  People act like he was in contention.  He pretty much finished where he started every week.  Then pulled out at the first sign of trouble.

I believe every time you go P1 in practice, you ARE in contention. Do you consider Chase to be in contention?

They are talking title contention. Totally diff than qualifying.

If Whorehay ever actually finishes something then maybe you can brag on him. Till then he’s just a blight and a blemish on an otherwise successful team.

 Send him home he’s unwanted here and promotion isn’t going to change the fans mind. This is America and we don’t like quitters. 

The worst part about your post is that you're probably veeeery proud of that nickname.

Folks that post like you are a mystery to me. Are they really that out of touch with reality or just clowns posting crap to get their twisted jollies?  Not sure but I think you fall under the first category...maybe I'm wrong?

I wonder why anyone would let something posted on a motocross forum affect them 2 minutes after they’ve read it? 
Talk about out of touch.

Who was the guy that used to post on Vital back in the day when Prado was an upcoming amateur in Spain?  He would post regular updates with photos, and was convinced he was the next big thing.  Anybody remember who that was, and does he still post here?  

I believe his screen name was Ruy and was from Spain

Would seem the same lame logic would apply to a troll such as yourself...why are YOU even letting MY comment affect you 2 minutes after you read it?  See how idiotic that sounds?

Why be an fool and stay two more years in a team that completely lost it.

Call it quitting or whatever, it was the only way to save a career!

I hope (Kawi mech) DG is happy with the Sexton/Marchbanks performances, at least they are not quitting… yet…. 😅

Why be a fool and quit KTM to go to Kawi in the first place?

Quit KTM

Quit Kawi

Quit gp’s

Now he’s already quit again. He’s as worthless as tits on a tomcat. His career is over. You can’t win shit if you don’t qualify or finish. 
Sexton and Marchbanks are qualifying and finishing and Sexton has a win. A-lot more to be proud of than Whorehay has given his team and sponsors.

I think he was Juan Pablo Acebedo, the owner of mx1onboard

Sounds more like an escape plan than a dream. Not sure what you call quitting but sitting on your ass while there is a race going on damn sure ain’t “living the dream” 

And you tell me which is better a heat race win or a main event win?  Finishing or quitting? 

This kind of stuff right here is why access to the internet should require an IQ test

I don't know if it is entirely needed for him to push through an injury to come back to SX, he has proven his growth there this year and his real strength should be outdoors. I think outdoors this season is going to be great, rejuvenated Prado and Tomac, Jett back, Hunter will be faster yet, Deegan coming in, should be good. Podiums will be hard to achieve.

Yeah, I don’t think he should push it.  He’s not a title contender, get healthy and come back stronger.  And we all want to see him outdoors.

You Prado haters are as bad as the Baby deegs defenders … probably have blue hair pink whistles and septum rings, just get over it already. Both him and eli look instantly better on KTM and chase and marchbanks look exactly as i was hoping they wouldn’t but it sure does make what Jorge and Jason (who looks better on the suzuki) did last year make total sense me!

it's hard to fathom the Prado hate- two time MX2 world Champ, two time MXGP Champ.

It's like the guys that said Kroc should retire when Honda HRC renewed his contract after he broke his body two seasons in a row

well, if there's one track in SX where his outdoor skills could really shine it's Daytona. I wanna see him come back from injury and WIN.

I'm a hater. I don't have to like the guy. Plenty of other people to cheer for. Should've shipped his ass back to across the Atlantic.

Got it. I HAVE to love Prado and all of his attributes, and I MUST hate Deegan and think he is going to fail in the 450's. Funny cause I thought the blue hair and septum rings was from your camp. Guess one of us is wrong. 

OR, you can have an opinion on whomever you want and it's ok if someone voices their opinion. 

I think Deegan is arrogant, childish, and a punk. I also think he is one of the best riders in the sport right now with some of the most potential.

I think Prado is a nice guy and is one of the fastest dudes on dirtbike right now. He has blown me away with how fast he picked up SX. I also think he is not mentally strong, has a tendency to quit when things aren't perfect for him, and he has no idea how to set up a motorcycle (Chase might be the only rider worse at testing)

I think Kawasaki is probably the least desirable factory team to ride for currently and in the past few years. I think their quirks are holding riders back from their full potential. I also don't believe that the Kawasaki platform is bad and I believe even a stock bike should be competitive for 5th all day long under Prado or Sexton

If you want to put out an objective argument on why you believe the above isn't the case, I would welcome it. If you are just going to say that I'm an idiot and its Kawasaki's fault, Prado is awesome at setting up a bike, or Deegan will never get away with that in the 450's, he will be lucky to be top 10, then I am aware of your thoughts already, and I simply disagree.

You do you, I'll do me, and then we can share our thoughts to make us all aware of different viewpoints, you know - like a forum. Let's keep it relative to the specifics of the comments and threads though. Every thread turns into a Prado/Deegan pissing match.

It's called a double standard Grape! duh!

Dislikes Deegan cause he's a "little douche bag" (which is fine BTW), but noone can dislike Prado because he's a quitter.

Nuanced opinions are tough for people sometimes. A post can be 80 percent positive but will still catch a downvote for the 20 percent disagreement.

There's a lot of "Tiger Beat" vibes in this thread. These riders are human beings flaws, nasty warts, bad manners and all. These riders are not hired to help us raise our children or display any moral high ground at all, I suggest seeing your local Padre' for that. These riders are hired to showcase their abilities on dirt bikes, granted Prado fucked that up last season. But to "hate", "love", or be a "fan" of any rider based upon what spews out of their homeschooled pie hole is strange. It seems so much easier to enjoy watching them do things on a bike I could never do in a million years and leave the moral and mannerly judgement to the almighty.

yea but the context that many people use those terms in is implied and understood to be tongue in cheek or whatever. not the tv punchers maybe, but normies can say they hate deegan and him actually not live in their head rent free when theyre not in bench racing mode. its nice to get into a novel or tv show occasionally in the same way, but maybe not to the extent you forget that we're paying taxes to pedophiles and all that.
