Yep! (just checked page 8) There was a dude carrying on about how stupid Garret was and how out of line it was..
Weirdly he joined in 2016 has only 80 or so posts but seemed like 20 of those were in this thread haha,
So Prado goes 2–2 in the opening round and somehow that proves MXGP riders are soft? Give your head a wobble.
Yea he quit on Kawi. That bike is NOT that bad.
Well Chase can thank Prado for quitting because without him quitting chances are Kawi doesnt allow Chase to make changes like running 25mm forks. He'd probably already be on a Triumph now lol

Didn't read a single post today, but watching the races my short comments are as follows. Its cool to see all the contenders in the 450 class up front both moto's by the end. Not one guy who's supposed to be in the title hunt did a bad job today. Hunter made being out front look easy once he got that gap. Impressive.
The 250's are about as inconsistent as can be, kitchen looked fastest but starting at the back won't cut it. Cmon mumford, get a start and show what you're capable of.
I think that dude had a few drinks yesterday.
24? Don't think so . . . .
He's so mfing bad he'll do two extra motos
Must be counting his previous 2 motos at MXON….
And he beat multiple US champs
There's going to he some badass dudes fighting for 5th place in the 450 class this year.
Jett in the press conference said some wild shit. Flat out said his ankle feels like shit. There was a joking tone, so I guess thats good? He's totally taking weight off that legs on some jumps
Yeah Jett’s comments were interesting. I hope he’s ok and can race into shape. He seemed to get better as the day went on. I wonder how he feels today?
Are there any updates on Eli? I know they said nothing was broken but how bad is his neck strain?
I know going into Fox that Jett's injury was a bit rough, but the gradual escalation in narrative from pre-race press conference, through the main program, and then to the post race press added an unsettling undertone to things. From the get-go I cocked my head when he mentioned that as long as his heels didn't drop he was fine but... l feel like every conversation on technique (particularly his efficient style) talks about how eccentric ankle loading from heels-dropped is a foundational component since it's essentially natural shock absorption. In post-race press he said that he's basically landing all on the strong leg which also contradicts the fundamentals of his notably symmetric riding style. But damn it really speaks to his balance and control that he can pull that off. I'm curious to see how his technique shifts this season. I noticed that his mid/high back wasn't as flat as normal which makes sense since the most common compensation when you're overloading your leg(s) is to round the back for more leverage.
Everyone else looked solid though. Nice to see Hampshire and Plessinger battling again, and I was way stoked to see Benny Bloss back in action. It's crazy that he's had that P10-20 area locked down for like 12 years now.
From what I've read about this injury is that once it's healed (which it should be) it's just a matter of dealing with the pain and lack of motion but that can last for years. I wasn't there in person but I was paying close attention whenever he was on screen and there was multiple times that he was riding/landing with the foot not even on the peg. Tough dude. He really is pushing the time off the bike limits. He tore his ACL and meniscus and went 1-1 just 3 months later. Podiuming a 450 pro national 6 months after a Talus break is actually pretty insane, too. Didn't it even take Herlings a year to get back to 100% after his?
As a side note, I fucking hate how bad AI is. I was just trying to confirm what I remember about Herlings and got two opposing answers with the same question on Google. and people rely on this feature! For fucks sake...
There are going to be a lot of 250 guys thinking its going to be a long season.
When you have so many factory guys in the support class, and a thin field of 450's it needs changing.
