I don’t buy that Hunter Lawrence didn’t just hit a false neutral last week. 

Absolutely not u watch the replay and u can see the rear wheel come to a dead stop and throw him forward and crash. Its clear as day.

In case anybody was still wondering if this is MXGP Prado. Lol. He'd be title less if he rode like this in 23 and 24

In 2023 Ferbe won 6 GP's Prado only 2, but Prado won 11 qaillifiction heats.
Even Herlings won more GP's that year and raced only the half.

Same, but If I was him I wouldn't get back on that bike. Dude has to line up next weekend again and he has a title to lose.

That was a great ride from Deegz. At least give the dude credit for working his ass off to get better. I'm not afraid to criticize him so I can sure compliment him

Lucas is a monster.  He will line up unless KTM decides to ground all bikes until a thorough investigation can be done.

Prado needs to go to Aldon or something. He had a little ego check and suddenly started trying to stay with Lucas. Maybe do that the whole race and don't get gapped by the 3 leaders just because you only got a 7th place start

I mean we was wobbling around dude might be concussed. He has nothing to prove. Hes fast, we all know it. Take a break. I dont know why you would put him out there to get a terrible gate pick for what?

It was a smart play. Still a bummer. He could easily run the leader's lap times. I just hope he's good to go for MXGP and the next US race. 🤞

The Cannon/Turner info graphic was pretty cool. Boys racing each other in America today while their sisters are both racing each other in Australia.

Lucas running 2:01's mid pack is wild. Hope he's not hurt! He's something special for sure.

Ppl talk about southwick and try to compare it to other sand tracks but its its own thing. Deep sand berms and huge whoops through each turn then on the straights its high speed hard base chop with slippery sand on top mixed with high speeds. The track has no flow at all and no big jumps to catch your breath on. It grinds you down. Plus new england summers get hot and humid as hell. Today is only 82 but its usually 90 and balls humid. 

Other sand tracks end up with long wavelength rollers you can hop through and get a rhythm, southwick never gives you a chance to. It has such a random mix of chop on the straights with random whoops mixed in then big whoops around the deep sand corners theres no rhyme or reason to any of it. You just hold on and get rattled and swapped to death while your front wheel slips everywhere.

Same here, I absolutely loathe his personality but I will not bash him for his effort and tenacity. He would have a lot more fans including myself if he’d just be a normal decent human.

Fucking sucks how his race turned out, specially with the bike. 4-1 could have been very possible. Good decision though. Hope he's good

Plus if he could get his starts figured out, I think he could get on the podium... given a bad start from one or two of the top 4 guys. He's a good look for Kawi for sure.

Yea it was a good ride he stayed with hunter for a while. Two things can be true though he had a good start to the race and then after putting in a hot lap trying to catch hunter dropped anchor and lost 10 seconds in 2 laps. Hes definitely the best of the rest right now though.
