JT$ on his review pod thinks it was a lost opportunity Prado did not ride press day practice at Lakewood and perhaps his focus on SX this year put him behind on his outdoor prep or focus.
He's good but still has some more upside is possible.
Prado is probably too risk averse to beat Jett or Lucas. Until/unless he gets over his issue riding in traffic he is going to be the most start dependent rider with elite speed in the field.
It seems like a done deal that the ktm 450 team will be Tomac, Prado, and coenen next year. One of the non Austrian riders (Hunter?) said they would see Coenen here next year.
I don't think he received a great education, he messes a lot of words and sayings up. Even so, he's light years better than RC. It's like he gets lazy at the end of words a lot.
On the flip side, it sounds like people are starting to get francesco right, instead of francisco.

He is 25 to 30 seconds back because he backs it down to make the fukk moto at a top 5 speed. He has a lot more speed you can see it on the first few laps then his body position changes and he backs it down. Watch him next week you can clearly see him do it.
AMA Nationals have more lappers just making up the gates from 20th onwards. GP's have fewer on the gate but the talent is deeper through the top ten.
Yeah - last years bike. Prado lost a year while the Lawrence’s and Deegs took something good and made it better. I hope Sexton gets better after the Thunder Valley crash and has his best days ahead on whatever brand he’s on. I just can’t see Sexton staying or what team would take him.
You may be onto something when you mention the starts. Looking back at the first three rounds of 2025, he was starting around 8th-12th. Looking at how he handles a start like that now is interesting when thinking about his results last year.
No he's NOT...he legit CANNOT pronounce it correctly. He does fine with Jorge...he just can't understand the difference between Prado and Prada...and it's f'n irritating.
Heard James last week say, "Prada, I mean Prado". He is just being very lazy. Easier for him to say Prada I guess. Maybe Prado needs to text JS7 and ask if he could call him by his actual name. You think Weege would correct him.
Pretty sure he said prada every time today. My wife and I were cracking up.
You bring up a good point. The amount of time spent in recovering from a setback is a big contributor the speed of his progression. Jett's history with setbacks brings some context to that. Since that year that Prado lost, Jett came from a serious injury and got back to winning form in a surprisingly quick time.
I learned years ago when wrenching USGP’s that is a pretty Common euro endurance style of putting in a couple laps at 85-95% full speed then a few laps backed down to 75-80 % where USA style has always been more like a 95-100% SX sprint race.
I don't really think that's accurate. Maybe you are looking at first lap, since AMA doesn't really track holeshots. Prado was consistently up front at the turn last year.
Hit me with your corrections. I am open to it.
Not going backwards.
That was the case when they where doing 40+2. They all had that strategy to survive.
No one uses that anymore unless they have the luxury to build a gap early.
Watch Herlings and Coenen in sardena. I can promise you no other riders in AMA has raced as close to 100% all through the moto as they did for moto 2. Herlings was within a second of his best laptime on final laps, 1 sec behind Lucas crossing the line.
That's on the final laps, on a destroyed sand track, final moto where they have raced 5 classes in a day.
They where doing 1.47-48 in the begining, middle and end of the races.
Same in Italy this week, within 1sec beginning, middle and end of Herlings, Renexau and Coenen crossing the line within 4 sec or something.
It all depends on the competition. If someone has a gap big enough after 5-7 laps, of course they will adapt the pace to not waste more energy than needed or take bigger risks than needed.
I don't see a difference in AMA or MXGP on this topic.
Fraudo has some issues, clearly.

Prado at highpoint post race - "I was catching Jett!" Seriously what a dumb cunt.....
Different view when you’re not holding a hand up blocking roost from zip code guys…
He’s never going to call Johnny O, Johnny Uh.
