Didn’t we all suspect this was going to happen? Two weeks after a collarbone & surgery race the MXDN? It sounded fishy from the start. A cheap attempt at more press. Selfishness More bad Deegan press. Luckily Jcoop swallowed his pride and prepared.

HaHa 3strokemx! Was just thinking the same thing. I'll celebrate by cheering for Justin Cooper to smoke the 250 class. GO USA!!!

Lewis was the one who broke the news that Vialle is going to Honda...

I totally understand why they tried to keep him on the team at all costs, the US owe him so much for all he did for the MXDN team in the previous years. 🤣

Props to the Deegs fam for hitting their goal of getting max clicks out of another one of their frenzied circus acts. Thanks to JCoop for putting up with all this BS and hanging in there. Top prize goes to the AMA...Stepped in to take the Team Manager role from Roger and fugged things up worse than I would've imagined.

Per Jo himself, Jo’s got that cat in him. Therefore Haiden is the mouse.

Dumbass Deegz, I wanted to see him against all the 450s on his 250 to see what he had.

Of course he is. He was never going to race it with a broken collar bone, in my opinion. They just squeeze every ounce of attention they can out of every possible situation. But hey, good on them to milk it as long as possible to make it harder on everyone else who needs to get things ready for Justin. Pumped for JCoop at least.

Should never have been “in” after his injury/dipshittery. The whole debacle was a slap in the face to Cooper, who was gracious enough to step up. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t expect anything less from the AMA, who (in the words of Joe Pesci) could “fuck up a cup of coffee.”

Say what you want about how Prado handled everything (fucking terribly imo) but with all this comparison with Sexton, who will by all accounts give you 110% effort every single time, what did all that effort get him? Prado definitely should have stfu and not run his mouth about the bike but he still finished every MX round on a bike he was very clearly not comfortable on. I mean he could've just as easily gone out there, ridden over his head, and wadded himself up almost every weekend like Chase does - which would've been admirable sure, but he...

Your honor, the plaintiff states the bIke wasn't fast enough. We submit Exhibit A into evidence

He who runs behind bus gets exhausted. He who runs in front of bus gets tired.

Kawi/monster also doesn’t want this to happen again…. So if they just let a rider out of contract for acting how he did, the next rider could potentially expect to do the same if they don’t like the bike. You have to stay firm on the contract obligations to assure the next rider won’t do the same

Yeah, no, for sure.

Simple question, who's funding it? KTM is giving Prado a lifeline; they shouldn't need to go out of their way to supply more resources, staff, and finances to a team with a conflicting title sponsor and other conflicting partners from their worldwide factory efforts, just to get Prado on black KTM.

Great photos, but I’m confused by how many days it is until MXdN?

I wonder if Monster and Kawi would still want to be compensated if he put in 100% effort and still wanted out because it just wasn’t working out for him? I would think his interviews and lack of effort on the track have Monster and Kawi wanting to hit him where it hurts a little for all the bs. I don’t blame them, they have Sexton lined up for next year so they don’t need Prado at this point, Prados now the one in limbo with his career imo. Lose money to pay and get out of a contract, sign...

If i was Kawasaki or Monster I would want money back from the punk ass little quitter.

Because he’s a professional motocross rider, he’s a solid pick—maybe not Herlings, but more than capable—and you know he wants to represent his country in the biggest event of the year. Over here, we struggle to even get riders to commit unless it’s on home soil. For the GP guys, though, it’s an honor to be chosen, and he likely has his travel and equipment logistics already sorted. Why should he step aside when he was the team’s first choice?
