I stand behind my opinion on him. You can be good and talented and still be an asshole lol there are plenty around.

He handled last year exactly the way he needed to in order to make sure he wouldn’t have to waste another year of his career with Kawi, and that decision has been completely justified

He did not handle it exactly the way he should have. What people are forgetting here is that Jorge wasted other people’s time, energy, and money. They have every right to be upset.  

According to Steve Matthes, Chase Sexton is likely going to be leaving Kawasaki.  But Sexton went about it in a completely different way.  One that unlike Jorge, is respectful and professional. Both camps have admitted they are working as hard as possible to get it figured out.  

Jorge rode around to purposely not qualify, so put me in the camp of those who are not a fan. He didn’t even have the best moto scores overall in SMX.  He won the title because he came seeded higher than the second place guy.  So while all this might be redemption for him personally, he still went about his relationship with Kawasaki the completely wrong way.

As far as I know, not a single moto journalist has been able to get any Kawasaki team leader to go on the record to say Prado intentionally tried to not qualify at Budds Creek. If someone has a link to that statement, let’s see it. Because all I have ever seen is people outside of the team making speculative statements about it, and the hoi polloi taking it as gospel truth.

Kawasaki didn’t have to. Prado qualified 43rd and it was clear to anyone watching that he was trying to not qualify but was unaware that due to his being inside the top ten in points, he would get in anyway. 

It was an embarrassment, World Champion or not. He took his ball and went home without apologizing for wasting people’s time, efforts, and money. 

I won’t go shit on him like this place does certain other riders, but I’m not a fan.
