At the 20 second mark Jorge crosses over the straight and then of course at the end he cross jumps Herlings. Jeffry should have done a Travis Preston and walked over, grabbed Prados chin bar and gave him a finger wag.

This is exactly it. Hunter isn’t exposing anything new here.

I very much like 2025-26 Hunter.

2022 Southwick Hunter who got into it with Stilez Robertson, not so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XXQkqp9pJk

What part of this video is relevant to the thread 


Is the claim that you think he blocks and cross jumps or that he got into an argument with someone after a race? Because I can post videos of every top guy getting into a yelling match after a race.  

This is a video of him getting cross jumped

The Hunter- Prado thing has been brewing for quite awhile, these comments reflect what’s simmering below the surface, not a one off complaint. Seems they really don’t like each other.

I havent read to the end of comments. I believe the issue with Prado stems from Jett giving his sister some "Body Aussie" for some time

Hunter is going to fold like a cheap suit after the break. He’s cooked. 

Dude, I down thumbed this dumbass post.

At least he's consistent. Every post is bad. Every one

Oh for fuck sake, some of you guys are so dramatic.. You say it's whining or whatever but he's just saying it as he sees it! I see no sooking!  

I also haven't seen him block anyone and I have seen him put up a fight against Jett, but I've also seen him not put up a fight haha but also when someone is faster than you every day it must be hard to sometimes think 'nope today is different'.

All that said Prado is famous for riding like a dick, ask Webb who has alluded to it a few times which surprise surprise didn't get a thread started.. 

Hunter has raced Prado for years he knows how he rides

Vital logic:

Prado fights for position “he’s dirty”

Prado moves over for riders “he’s a quitter”

Deegan, Hampshire, Anderson, Malcolm, Webb, anyone else fights for position they’re gritty, tough, great race craft, always give it their all, etc etc

So when JuJu blocks Seth last year everyone hates it but because Tomac is being helped it’s ok? Make it make sense

They got him while he was still amped up from a crazy night of racing. 

I like that both he and Tomac spoke their minds.

Hunter tries to race Jett as hard as anyone else. Jett is just incredibly good at finding bursts of speed and making passes others can’t. He also knows Hunter won’t take him out so he will use parts of the track others might not risk.

Last year Jett passed him many times and they gapped third by 20+ seconds. Hunter was comfortably faster than everyone except Jett and Chase.

Actually in that case Robertson cross jumped him and made him crash.

I love it though. Pure moto. Getting fired up, full of adrenaline after the finish. Vital is full of comments that riders should show personality and old school mentality. Well, he shows it here.

And even though I'm a Prado fan as well and really root for him to do well back on the KTM, he is known within the MXGP circuit to make some questionable moves. A grey area between dirty riding and defending his line

I don't get Hunter's complaints on this one. Why should Prado, who is fighting for a podium and points move over? 

I really doubt Prado didn't let Eli pass easy and then decided to sandbag Hunter so Eli could win.

Prado is coming from a bad first season with Kawasaki last year. I doubt he wants to be passed unless he just gets beat clean.

Did he even really complain? He was asked if there was a little bit of extra 'body english' in his pass of Prado and he said yeah cause he was purposefully slowing me down, and if he's gonna keep doing it I'll keep giving it to him..

Glad I’m not the only one that noticed Jett has a full time blocker. Not that it really matters at the end of the day with Jett’s skill level

Prado doesn't strike me as the type to intentionally help out a teammate. I think it's pure luck if Eli or anyone else gets by him quickly and cleanly. I doubt he and Eli have ever even had a conversation.

Yeah there is a reason why Prado and Herlings were on different KTM teams…

Maybe because prado ran on gasgas

Sorry dog, that team was KTM until 22…they were on two separate KTM MXGP teams for 2 yrs before DeCarli went to GasGas…and if you want to go back further the only time they were under the same tent was Prado’s first year in 2016 for the last 3 races…and that includes his cross jumping and cutting off performance at Assen that pissed Herlings off…that’s when they decided to separate the two and put Prado on the DeCarli team…

Not only does he block for Jett, he can be behind the guy trying to pick off Jett, and Hunter will ride like a maniac over his head to get the guy to focus on having to block him instead of picking off Jett. 

Not sure the proper term for that, but Hunter is certainly the master at distracting from Jett

It’s amazing that there are people that say they don’t notice this. It’s pretty obvious.

Funny how quick people turn on someone once they become a legit contender. I feel like the tone has always been positive and hoping for Hunter to finally break through in sx. Now he’s a roadblock?

The reason people are discussing him  is because Hunter all of a sudden is complaining when others don’t move over for him when he has some pace to win, yet he has made a career of doing the same thing for Jett and against others. People still want Hunter to be successful.

When he rides dirty "he's dirty"

When he tries to not qualify or rides around sitting down with one hand on the bars "he's quitting".

fixed it for ya.

I dont think he does that because it's Jett, though. Hunter is a bit like Barcia in the sense that when a rider gets around him all of a sudden he goes 110% to get back around them or keep pace.

That’s not fair to Pradno 

He never quit being dirty.

I think it was moto one that Prado brake checked Hunter. They called it out on the broadcast. I think up until this race the lappers/blockers/cross jumpers/whatever you want to call them didn’t effect the leaders as much.

I feel like people didn't see the actual moment, cause I'll admit I didn't really notice it until I saw it on a clip from the RV RC pod, but what they showed was a pretty blatant move to not really race Hunter but just slow him down.. Saying that it wasn't terrible but would Hunter have brought it up if he wasn't asked directly about it?

I also feel like people are over reacting to what he actually said

Oh it's obvious? Yeah sweet just post a vid of it happening, a reel, a short or anything you like.. Another rider saying it's hard to get around Hunter cause he's blocking, even a specific race or time you saw it I'll go find it and check.. I totally get that maybe I'm biased and don't see it or maybe...
