Main Character? Are you serious? He was praising Kenny, literally bowing to him. He said later Kenny was one of his heroes growing up and he was just super excited to see him win. It's so unusual to see these guys let their guard down and just genuinely act as if no-one is looking. Don't ruin it. 

It was a half serious comment. I kind of figured Jorge looked up to Ken as he was one of the guys who left a successful career on the table in Europe to chase the American SX/MX dream, so I understand he wouldn’t be doing that if anyone won the title. Just seemed kinda excessive, let the guy have his moment and soak it in.

Pradno is weaker than puppy piss. He can dish it out but he can’t take it.

I literally said that to my wife in the stands. I laughed when he did the bow thing but then after like 15 seconds I said ok Prado get the fuck out of there 😂

It’s quite interesting to see how desperate Webb is when it comes to Prado.

Webb’s strength has always been to pass on the inside and ride smarter than his opponents. Now when he has to face a rider that uses the same lines as him self and he lacks the speed to pass in any other way or place on the track he just boils over. 

 

As Lewis Phillips said on his podcast: Cooper Webb collided with Cooper Webb.

It really doesn't matter if Prado is a fast Vince Friese (which doesn't even make sense, since if anything Cooper has been the one taking or attempting to take Jorge out...) - the material point is that he IS FAST, or at least fast enough... That's the bleedin problem.

I don't know why Cooper is trying to speak for the 'other 21 guys' either. What's the universal conclusion of the other 21 guys then, what unanimous conclusion have they arrived at: "From hence forth any rider named Jorge is to relinquish his current position, freely and in good spirit, when caught by a persuing rider" etc. It's a race. 

Again short of cuting over on people in the air Jorge can ride a wider bike as he pleases. I had a problem with his German GP/ Herlings incident but I really haven't seen that this year, and aside from one complaint by Hunter at Rd 2 I'm not aware of that being the main accusation.

I always liked Webb but frankly am tired of listening to his excuses.  
No other rider uses his excuses.  

Its always a rider was in his way, he had a bad start, just a few more laps etc.  

Advice?

Practice your starts as this will always put you in the lead.  You will not have to worry about passing people since you are out front. Then you can ride a wide bike like you always have. 
Webb still doesnt have the raw speed as his top peers.  
Yes, I have always cheered on Webb and pretty much the others. 
I hate excuses.  Win with class and lose with class.  
Chase, quit reading sm and go back to basics.  You are on a very capable bike. No rider is entitled to be on the box. You have to earn it, put in the work.  ( Roczen wins on a bike that still needs to be started by manual labor much like a model t)

It’s quite interesting to see how desperate Webb is when it comes to Prado.

Webb’s strength has always been to pass on the inside and ride smarter than his opponents. Now when he has to face a rider that uses the same lines as him self and he lacks the speed to pass in any other way or place on the track he just boils over. 

 

Honest question that I know you won't respond to - when did Webb "boil over"? If you're talking about the subject matter of this thread I see one guy very animated and seemingly "boiling over" but it wasn't Webb. It looks like Webb just rode off calmly then sarcastically mocked him for being a dork in the post-race interview. He seemed more upset with himself than with the faster Vince Friese.

Webb calling Prado a faster Vince Friese is on the same level as using "Your mom" as an insult in a real argument. You just make yourself look like an idiot.

I kind of feel like this a compliment. Not sure that was as “spicy” of a take as Webb thought. Webb is just mad because he bought a jet and now can’t even hardly make the podium.

Yes, but the vast majority of the time The Outdoor Warrior won't even see Prado on the track. Prado will contiinually get holeshots, while Webb dawdles around at the back of the top 10. That's if he doesn't get a chipped finger nail and decide not to show up at all...

Webb blocks everybody. No one should ride in front of him. 
Deegan at times uses his bike as a battering ram and does the pistol salute after he wins. 

Sir Vincent Lombardi once said. “ when you win, act like you've been there before” 


Take the high road like Tomac , Im doing my best and sometimes my best isn't the speed needed.

Webb is pissed because not only is he not where he thought he would be but hes getting challenged by guys he honestly thinks are below him . Prados idea of hard racing is to cut back and forth on the faster rider trying to get around him. It clearly wasnt going to end friendly.

I legit thought Prado was going to get off his bike and blow the chrome off Kenny’s muffler.  What an awkward moment.

I don't understand people talking bad about Prado's skills. I get not being a fan or not liking him but WTF! 

Prado's first full season in AMA Supercross. Think! Zero prior experience - AMA rules made him jump right into the deep end and go straight into the 450 class because his is a two time MXGP champion. There is NOT another rider in the 450 class who didn't cut his teeth in the 250 regional series . . .  Prado is already faster than Webb in the whoops.  What did Cooper do his first full year in 450 SX?  Prado is already winning heat races and getting podiums.

I'm a Deegan fan but no joke I actually stopped watching the Deegan’s YouTube videos because I was starting to think his whole circle was arrogant and cringe.  There is too much gaslighting on the fans and writing “their own narrative”.  

Haiden is doing the UFC style celebrations , such as Izzy’s “bow n arrow” celebration.  And he’s doing it to riders he says “aren’t even close to my level”.  Like you quoted Lombardi… when you win, rub it in by acting like it’s no big deal!  Act like you’ve been there before.  That is absolutely how a champion acts.  I love the intensity Deegan brings but he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.  When he was battling Cole this weekend , it was all for PRIDE AND EGO….. I was screaming at my TV “noooooo…. Don’t fall 2 weeks before your Pro Motocross 450 debut” and then he falls exactly like he did against Shimoda when he broke his collerbone.  It’s a reoccurring injury too so I’m glad he’s okay.  I feel like his new mechanic will tell him things Duffe won’t.  Brent Duffe is retiring from motorcycle mechanic after this season.

Prado has been training at supercross since he was 14 years old under the watchful eye of Red Bull KTM. He raced 450 supercross in 2024, and 2025, and now in 2026. This isn't just some guy that stepped off the boat and was handed his first set of SX suspension in January. His talent is undeniable but his emotions seem to be a limiting factor that I don't see changing. He kinda freaks out when there are other motorcycles around him.

Well, you sound like you have some inside info - please define training? I hear all the. fast 450 guys say training isn't racing and until the gate drops you have no idea

How many AMA 450 SX gate drops does Prado have under his belt?

Quick question, since according to you Jorge had so much experience, how many total SX races did Jorge have under his belt going into this year? How about Cooper Webb? Care to guess?

Jorge had 6.

Webb had 173.

Practicing SX under the "watchful eye of KTM" means jack shit for experience. Quit trying to draw a false equivalence, they're not even close.
