There are two schools of thought with racing at elevation. One is to show up a few days early to allow your body to acclimate. The second is to fly in as late as possible, race your race and fly out. 

I don’t know how much I believe in the second method. Jason Anderson (who grew up in elevation) had issues with racing in elevation. He would do the last minute thing when doing elevation races and I don’t ever remember seeing any peak performance from him doing it.

Jason hasn’t lived at elevation for any length of time in well over a decade…

ML said in his video today that Prado chose to fly in last night, so he wasn’t even in the same state during press day.

He says it on purpose. He talked about it in his latest breakdown. At the 29:07 mark.

Maybe now he does, but I don't buy it before. He would say Shimoda wrong at times, too, putting an o on the end.

LaLa Turner, Charli Cannon, and K.K. Nielsen are all grittier, tougher, more resilient human beings than George.

Dude I like the WMX and that they brought the series in is fucking awesome but are we comparing them to the absolute top of the 450 class and to 450 champions now while they race 12 min motos? Come on

Prado, great 0ff the line. Possibly lead a few laps then fold. No grit.

I didn't say they're faster. I said they're grittier, and tougher than George.  They are. Prado is a bitch.

I watched a podcast where a doctor or something saying that unless u show up like a week early to acclimate, its almost better to wait last minute.

Super disappointing that Prado has had little for Deegan thus far-come on Bro. Dude should be on the podium every weekend.

How has Prado been more impressive in SX than moto?
