Isn't he the guy that won the 2 stroke national at GH?

The real Prado showed up today.

It’s cool to see Prado actually trying!

With Prado being a holeshot specialist and being up there on times it’s going to be an exciting evening of racing

After quals here is what I think, which doesnt mean anything lol.

I think Hunter is the best case to 1-1 right now. I think Jett is STILL the fastest guy on the planet but I wonder how his endurance is? 

I think Prado possibly podiums the 1st moto but I have YET to see him go the distance in ANY RACE on ANY Bike in the USA. Always seems to fall off? 

I like J-Coop in this one with a top 3 overall. Just a solid ride for the day like he mostly seems to do. 

I think with regards to Deegan, his strengths will eventually be his asset on the 450. I think he has the endurance and interested to see if moto 2, what he did late in the race on the 250 shows up here. Now I am not saying going from deep to 1st, but what I would like to see is gaining on the pack late in the race or pulling away. I think he is outside the top 3 moto 1 and a possible top 3 moto 2. 

No clue what's up with Tomac. Probably a fluke or age is now a real factor.... Which sucks to see. Still a beast. 

In anycase, the 450 class looks like SOOOOO much fun this year to watch. The champ working back to form. Young gun looking to back up his talk and the afterthoughts with something to say.....

I hope everyone can stop talking so much shit in the forums and just watch the best of the best give it there all. Respect to all the riders. As much hate as the Deegs gets, he lays it all out on the line just as much as the rest of the field.

I'm so excited for the motos. I hope Deegs can be humble if he gets spanked, he will get better no doubt.

Brian will instantly back pedal. "He's just trying to learn and mix it up with these guys. If the fans thought he was going to come out and dominate that's not fair expectations for him." Mind you this will be after all the shit Danger Douche has been yapping. 

He was very humble with his pre race interview with Big Lew. He acknowledged he's a rookie, its a building year. His first year on a 250 he finished with some wins. He would be stoked with a podium. And he's trying to hype up the race. I'm paraphrasing. Y'all need to relax. Plenty of time to shit on him when the actual races starts

I get both sides but I feel like if you are an adult you could easily separate the pre-game shit talk from the actual on the race track part. He said it the other day, he is just trying to get clips and get the hype up. 100% cool if you disagree but man the races are fun.

He’s got a white t-shirt on with a bunch of weird shit written in sharpie all over it, including “RIP Jett”  Literally looks like something a tweaker would wear.

I simply cannot understand how anyone over the age of 16 thinks this was awesome.

Contrary to popular shit talk, Deegan was never really the qualifying guy. Last year on the 250, he qualified 1st overall 4 times outdoors. Deegan is a racer. He has always, speed wise, been much closer to the competition than the race results would say. He is just a dog when the gate drops.

Yeah it's an embarrasment for the sport on a whole. But this sport attracts a lot of trash that thinks things like that are awesome, which is unfortunate.

Unfortunately you’re right. If you’ve ever spent time at a national you’ll get this

I think you couldn't be any more wrong.  Love him or hate him, he brings excitement and keeps people wondering what he'll do next.

I don't see the correlation? You can be an absolute embarrasment for the sport and bring in clicks and interest because of your ridiculous actions.

I'm the first one to subscribe to the hypothesis that Deegan brings in some eyeballs and hype, but too much of it is for the completely wrong reasons and i would prefer to see and hear none of it in the sport i love.

Were you raised in a bubble? The level of "shit talk" is so damn tame is funny. 

What actions? Taking him self out in a race? Like what are we talking about here?

He isn't dropping F bombs on TV and punching people after races. Like good grief some of you are actual Karen's.

This forum is going to be uninhabitable for the next decade isn’t it. Kawi should have released the two stroke today
