5/20/2026 2:05pm Closed doors? 😄 We will not know he is leaving, but suddenly he is signing up with a new team? Chase has already bashed the team, and the bike in case you haven't noticed. It will take them one year to turn it around, and there is no guarantee the bike can be fixed, plus a new bike is coming...

5/20/2026 2:00pm It's already been stated by Steve M that Kawi was fine with Prado leaving, Monster was not. I recommend you remove the tin foil hat, and get your head up from the sand 🤦

5/20/2026 12:46pm If they would have let him out, like others have done when it's not working - it wouldn't have had to go that far. Chase and Webb already taken "extended vacations" when they didn't want to ride. Their teams let them do that. He is the one that walked out on millions of dollars. Doubt you would have paid your...

5/20/2026 12:24pm If Deegan cant hang with Jcoop on a softer track where he can go full out with his aggressive style and unlimited traction available, I have a hard time seeing him going that fast on a track where you need finess and control. He was almost 4 sec slower than Jett and 3 sec of Tomac in second moto last...

5/20/2026 12:13pm You are factually wrong. Monster refused to even discuss early release. That's why he tries not to qualify. That led to Monster giving in. Anything classless, is Monster refusing to part ways and handle it like adults.

5/20/2026 12:05pm Wait until 5-6 rounds in when Chase has been riding around in 6-10th place. He ain't staying at Kawi. So it won't be any difference when all this is settled.

5/20/2026 12:00pm Febvre has said the same thing, not comfortable on the Kawi currently so can't push as hard as he want.

5/20/2026 6:28am So cool, 5y into retirement still wanting to race nationals and GPs to develop bike. Will be interesting to see what form he is in, he wasn't happy last time being out of shape I think he said. Champ mentality 😄

5/20/2026 4:09am If you ask who is most stressed, I think it's kawi. Not Chase. Maybe thats equal to pressure. But again, I think everyone is expecting a continued so so performance. Prado isn't probably stressed, because he knows he is In a good place. If it's enough to win it's something else.

5/19/2026 2:23pm Jett can always blame it on not being 100. Chase new bike. Tomac new bike. Deegan new to 450. Prado probably most pressure. Hunter also since he is one of few in a stable climate. No excuses for him unless they are on the 2027. Jcoop doesn't have much pressure because of lower expectations. No one would flinch if he's...

5/19/2026 1:02pm Tell me what is different, because that is exactly as silly. Or actually sillier, because nothing has changed. You could put 2024 on 2026, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Besides Sexton.

5/19/2026 2:40am There are several years of data from Chase in qualification. The other riders hasn't changed. Sorry, but they haven't. Jett will still, together with Chase, be the only ones that can put 0.5sec or more on them In qualification. Then you have a mix of 5-6 riders at same lap times swapping positions depending on conditions and bike setup. You...

5/18/2026 1:13pm No it's not that hard. It's easy to see where everybody is in lap times for qualification compared to previous years. You think I look at how fast he is going down a straight, and going "yeap that's 2mph slower" 😄🤦

5/18/2026 11:52am I'm just guessing, based on what has been said. The bike is so front end heavy, so to make it stable they have to drop the rear or raise the front and rake it out so much, it becomes rear steering. Longer/different linkage arm and knuckle, offsets (triple clamps), rake and trail (lugs or steering stems). Shifting engine position or...

5/18/2026 11:45am As I said, he is up to a sec of his top pace. So he isnt looking for the perfect bike, he just want it to get him to the same level as he was on Honda or KTM. That's nowhere near a perfect bike.

5/18/2026 11:43am How many riders, incl Tomac this year, has thought they nailed the setup all the way until they get on a proper race track under race conditions. And suddenly it doesn't work. That's with months of testing. Riding the bike for 2h before signing, pretty useless if it's an established brand.

5/18/2026 9:17am He is keeping back the pace because he would crash if he tried to go faster. Just as Prado, they don't trust the bike when they push because it doesn't behave as it should. He already said he needs to ride wide lines and around the bumps becuse the bikes doesn't turn. So much weight on the front, they probaby...

Yeah, no one "needs" a write off. The only people that say this are those that don't actually understand what they're saying.
