That front end ain’t washing
They're not equivalent actions. Prado articulated his problems with the bike and team, and didn't want to push on a bike he felt was unsafe, not to mention he waited until much later in the season to do so.
Chase on the other hand is throwing a temper tantrum at round 2 that far surpasses anything Prado did all year
I don’t know , you can’t get around the fact that Prado tried not to qualify. Bottom line….. Both are self entitled brats!
Not making excuses for Chase, Prado, or anyone else, but the one thing people seem to forget is even Tomac was fed up with that team towards the end. We had those weird couple of seasons with the Osborne and Ferrandis outdoor titles before Tomac switched to the Yam and seemed to be rejuvenated

Chase is just waiting patiently for the new '27 CS edition to drop. Rumor has it they've incorporated every single change he demanded to make him "comfortable" 😉
Marchbags is worth every penny they're paying Chase.
Dude on reflection this crash out might have just made me a fan. A factory bike being ghost ridden into the pits of the team who pay you millions is actually some shit Deegan could only dream of.
You might be waiting a while. I actually don't think Chase talks to Lewis if he's having a bad day.
That’s incorrect he did complain about his Honda.
This is one of a few examples
https://youtu.be/9AKEkJOYIYg?si=s6_v4AQ-4EwWakce
But he hated the team and apparently hates this one too. He also rode the bike before signing.
That’s embarrassing to hear🙄 come Sunday/monday he’ll probably feel like a complete dumbass when he realizes what he did.
He’s gotta be close to rock bottom, maybe he will be so broken, humbled and let go of his own pressure of his own expectations that can’t be met, that maybe he can grow up and work his way back in his results and fan likability.
The guy has the skills and physical capability but as life has shown, the mind is a strange thing and not everybody reacts the same or in the right way.
Obviously Kawasaki has issues but when you add in Chase, it’s just too toxic to work.
Problem is what team does he do this with?
The difference is Chase has won races and then changed the whole bike chasing a "feeling". Osbourne said he was absolutely flying before SX and he proved that winning A2 and then floundered around for a bunch of races and then won Salt Lake. Prado got hurt early and then gave up on the bike/team almost immediately.
Chase is a very fast head case.
He is making, and has the ability to continue making, large amounts of money, but has burned so many bridges that he only has a couple of options remaining.
Straighten up and fly right before it's too late
Well, there’s a fairly reasonable response.
Me? If the ghost-riding and damn near hittin’ Garrett tale is true? Via the behaviors clause…
I’d fire him.
Sounds harsh? Not to me.
Also, I don’t care about the team and bike stories. Not for a second. He won A2 & SLC. Garrett’s holding his own and making progress. There’s an entirely new chassis on the way…and besides all that? I’m just tired of all the bitchiness from a supposed top-shelf-athlete.
Fired.
Yup. And I’d move on.
Hey, RJ…wanna come test our ‘27? Hey, Malcolm, you got a minute? Cooper, are you beyond an LOI with your ‘27 plans? Hey, how much to buy Carson out of his Red Bull deal?
Ya know what? For “Chase money” I can have a 3 man team with a coupl’a guys and Garrett and we can be a team, again. A fun team. Hell, we can call the 3rd guy the “R&D rider” like the good ol’ days.
Now, you’re probably thinking I’m shitting on Chase? Well, I am making him pay the consequences of his behavior; but, I’m also setting him free. Aren’t I?
Garrett, RJ and…hell, let’s get Versace on the phone. Let’s have some fun with this.
“We found something” - Kawi this week, probably
17 Thumbs down to this quote and only 4 thumbs up? GT80 rider is an idiot…full retard….… Probably the fastest idiot that’s ever been on this page, but he’s fully on point here. Chase Sexton is the biggest cancer I’ve ever seen in the history of this sport. Quits on the two bikes that win every single week, now this shit, he’s the one that signed to ride that pile of shit lol
Good find. Talked about the bike nonchalantly - “back overpowering the front…they knew I was unhappy with the bike…doesn’t feel like a Honda anymore…”
This is exactly it.
Pit Row
I agree with a lot of this Team Green except for the Malcolm thing. Zero effort. Fuck him.
touchè
He just needs to go to a team where he can inherit a bike with a decent initial set up, like he did with Honda (Roczen), and KTM (Webb).
But, at this stage, who will want him?
I agree, if true I'd fire him for cause and not pay a penny further. My only concern would be Monster, they have to be getting tired of funding this mess right?
Hmmm…Monster…the drama…getting tired…?
Meh. Mitch is winning (that’s a Kawasaki thing) there’s a new 2 Stroke that seems like a very positive marketing move…and let’s not forget this brand alignment is global…so…no…
I’m not seein’ Monster worrying too much if the team makes adjustments and moves on.
But, that’s a very reasonable consideration on your part.
When Lucas Coenen gets here next week, Chase will be one more position further back. Someone get this guy a manfriend with a psychiatry degree. STAT !
Why was Tony Alessi (correctly) clowned for his behavior and meddling in Mike's teams..
While Chase's Dad is comparatively immune from criticism?
I'd say the bigger problem if chase bails rn is monster... monster took a hit w prado, I wouldn't be surprised if chase gets blackballed by monster by leaving early... and that would mean a no go at star yamaha... leaving only red bull teams available... thats honda or ktm ( or another team like twisted suzi)
Ya might wanna give some context here…
Not arguing for or against; but, like I said…
Give us some context.
MNST, Monster Beverage Corp. They're doing fine. Their share price hit an all time high last Thursday. Chase Sexton...pfft. If they dropped him it wouldn't even be felt.
Is the brand alignment global? I feel like they are all in with Yamaha over Kawasaki globally.
