I know you’re getting downvoted to hell, but it did seem a bit strange, even Kenny looked a bit taken aback.

Maybe he was Prado’s hero growing up and Roczen didn’t know?

Prado said Ken has been a hero of his for a long time. Nothing wrong with celebrating someone else’s success.

I didn't have a problem with it.

The crowd erupted on Jorge's "let's hear it" arm wave gesture.

Prado is in his early 20’s, ken is a hero to him. Ppl forget cuz he was racing herlings that hes still pretty young. Im sure especially as a fellow euro who now took the same path prado would have been rooting for ken and felt all the ups and downs. Then he just got to witness one of the best stories in the sports history first hand. I thought it was cool, makes for a pretty epic shot too.

Thing for me was Kenny was having his own moment and Jorge kinda made him come out of it to respond to him.. Not saying he did it on purpose or it was malicious just woulda been a touch more thoughtful to let him process it and have the moment to himself.. 

Or maybe Kenny loved it haha

That perfectly encapsulated the German-Spaniard comparison

This post nails it. Both of them were being their authentic selves. I would be a lot more like Kenny in that situation than Prado but I get it.

Prado played a big part, I believe, in that win, putting pressure on Hunter. Don't mind him celebrating with his childhood hero

Prado gets an assist for Ken's win.

Hunter's plan of comfortably dogging Ken to the final laps and hopefully passing Ken was interrupted by Prado.   

Props to Prado for a great SX season after last years Green debacle.

Props to Hunter for his class and sportsmanship and solid title run.

Yes Prado did say KR94 was his childhood moto hero growing up.  

SX 2027 is looking good!

Yeah, after about 20 minutes I was thinking Prado needed to move on.

Dude we share the same brain lol. 

In the moment I felt kinda weird but the clips that came out of it are awesome. When your competition become your hype men it says a lot.

It was weird and made me feel secondhand embarrassment. I don’t know what that says about the situation or me but I wanted him to leave him alone haha
