Man you guys have a level of hate that is relentless. I didn’t have it on my bingo card that so many people would so quickly move all their hate from Prado to Sexton this season.

People wanted to send Prado back to Europe last year. But where do we send Chase?

Lol the kid is a joke. He'll be at ducati or triumph next as they are the only brands that would consider him. He belongs at Beta really.

I still do. It was refreshing not seeing Prado for a few weeks.

What's funny to me about this is barcia has done the exact same thing for several weeks and not a word is said about it. Never given any real update on injury or recovery, spent weeks overseas. He's been back on the bike longer and missed far more time than sexton has the last few years. Complained about bike constantly last year or two. Haven't seen too many posts questioning him for any of it. 

I'm not knocking him for any of it, but the different responses to it are telling.

Just to be clear sexton is officially a quitter now in your book right?

Are you still seriously following me around on this? Yes. If he isn't a quitter, he should release what his injury is that is preventing him from riding because it isn't a good look.

Plus I already answered this same question from you in a thread 2 weeks ago. the answer with the info I have, is YES. Do you need to ask me again?

See, your first issue is that you first thought that I am Sexton fan so you try and make a double standard situation so that I let Prado off the hook (in my insignificant fan-or-not brain), but I am not. So yes, I believe both are weak mentally and prone to giving up. Get over it. It's my opinion. That said, they can both change my mind in time. Mental funks aren't forever all the time. I am starting to like Prado more and more this year. When things are working, he has a good attitude and he is likeable. Same with Chase. But the fact we are here talking about it in 400 separate threads means that it isn't so cut and dry, doesn't it?

Your second issue is that you think you are going to change my mind with these stupid comments trying to justify their actions.

Your third issue is that you think I give a fuck. I would really like to have some normal good conversation with you on this board, as I enjoy a lot of your takes, but the fact you won't accept my opinion as mine (not asking you to change yours) and continue to act like a 5 yr old makes me want to tell you to piss off.

Do you make these types of bullshit moves in your professional life and you are just trying to justify or lash out at me because of the way you are? are you mad by default because you see a lot of yourself in Prado or Chase? WTF man.

I'm willing to drop it and move on. Are you?   

 

I didn’t read any of that😂

Barcia is far from a real contender at this stage of his career...Chase Sexton is a champion, and has the ability to do it again. I'm not surprised that far less scrutiny is given to Barcia than Chase.

Also feel like with Barcia we all saw that crash so we all know what he's coming back from. As far as I know there still aren't concrete details into how bad a crash Sexton had.

This isn't true. It's been repeated over and over from multiple different people. Not every detail, but not sure how many people have to say it was a big one, could have been a season ender, etc before people accept this as true.

I said "as far as I know". I haven't seen any of that and I feel like I follow the sport pretty closely. Not read vital forums every day close though. I stand by my comment - the average fan isn't going to know the extent of the crash.

Chase has to be one of the biggest head scratchers of all time in this sport. When he is on, he is as good as anyone, and at times, is capable of being the fastest guy. The rest of the time, you just shrug. Tip overs, crashes, lack luster rides, bike set up problems, team drama, etc. 
 

This season has been nothing short of a disaster and it’s a shame.

Zach O talked about it on moto 60 again today, said he knows where he crashed and there's no way to crash small there.... jump face at end of fast whoop section. 

Never talking about concussions is kinda dumb but I also get it.... if the next one is career ender that probably doesn't help in contract negotiations.

The difference is Barcia is irrelevant. Who gives a fuck what he's doing...

Not speaking to his injury, but Chase is in an unfortunate spot where he no longer gets the benefit out the doubt with the bike.   Three bikes in five years and he's always had issues.

There is some knowledge, they said he hurt his back and hip initially….Although they haven’t said anything since I can see where it is a little frustrating for some people but to say there wasn’t an actual injury is a bit over the top and heading into conspiracy lala land….

I say I hurt my back for minor pains that cant be diagnosed. I wouldnt really call that an injury. An injury is something that is wrong enough that it can be diagnosed and has a name. What could be an undiagnosable injury that lasts for a month?

Whats with the angry reply? I didnt mean to offend you or rile you up. But I guess if you are going to imply it, then you could at least let me know what conspiracy theory I started? What "BS" did I make up? And what medical opinion did I give? 

The facts that you are saying that were presented are that a report 3 weeks ago said he hurt his back and hip? Just stating i think thats weak. Im pretty sure you'd need more than that to get out of a normal job for an extended period. Like someone else said, unfortunately chase is at a point where he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. That's how I feel anyways. Cheers

Sorry…you didn’t offend me…but you did imply that he is faking his injury…everyone should be used to how Chase and his team handle information release regarding injury by now…they’ve been doing it for years…and you did give a somewhat medical opinion regarding his back injury…being coy does not mean its undiagnosable…just face it they don’t want you to know…
