How is he a quitter? What if that bike was genuinely not setup to ride safe for him? What if the team was genuinely not providing for him what he needed? If this was the case, who would be the expert authority to say so? That would be Jorge Prado. Who would have the authority to counter these claims? That would be the team structure that NEVER commented. You old heads get an idea in your mind and refuse to ever change and it’s embarrassing. Dude went from being beaten by privateers to winning his heat and podiuming and the...

The detail you're missing though is whether Kawasaki gave up on him first....

This narrative was always insane and even more so now

So are you guys that think Marchbanks will mop the floor with Prado still confident?

Not necessarily like an “I told you so” but all you guys who think he’s gonna flop are wild. Guy beat MXGP giants and said for weeks “I’m feeling ready” so his qualifying was no surprise.

A1 Q1 went decent…. Still, finish the SX season healthy will be a challenge! Go JP!

Yes, I hope the Prado of MXGP on a GASGAS is back. He was impressive and resilient. Everyone has bad times they go through and Prado is no different. Nobody is perfect so we should all forgive him.

Anaheim 1 Qualifying: Kitchen: 1:06.2 on a 250 Marchbanks: 1:07.4 on a 450 (3 seconds a lap slower than his teammate) Tell me again why Marchbanks is a better rider than Kitchen… we will see how this season pans out, but apples to apples in SX and MX, Kitchen is a level above Marchbanks. He faster and has better results.

Gotta be real. Dude argues with people in the comments on Facebook which doesn’t come across professional at all. Hes funny and I watch his videos but someone needs to tell him not to inflect his voice up at the end of every sentence. Makes it hard to listen to him. I know that’s critical but he’s in the right position to make it happen for himself and I think some coaching could help him really do it…also his typefaces on his YouTube videos need updated. That’s all. Free advice nobody asked for.

Yeah really loved how Deegan crushed all these europeans at the MXON for the past years. Oh wait..

Everytime there is a new Gypsy thread people have the need to come in and bash him like they're forced to watch or listen to his content. So weird.

Your boys Sexton and Plessinger quit half the damn season with some weak ass excuse but hey I guess it's ok because they're American right? Selective outrage from you lot. I'm not going to derail this thread but adding Prado as an option was a light hearted quip in a poll that has Hill, Ferrandis, McElrath, Savatgy and Craig as legitimate choices to win A1. Out of all those names, Prado has the most recent (if only?) heat race win.

Fragile American ego #1 step right up!

Sexton.

I raced a Quad during intermission at that race, lol.

Statistically, Webb has had very poor results the season after each of his championships.

No. I’m enjoying retirement in Aix en Provence, France. I posted that because it seems like Eli finally tried some stiffer forks. Looks like he’s struggling a bit in the turns but the front end is finally holding up better. It was just an observation after being critical of his front end for years. And which was a disaster in Australia and I talked about it on my show. That’s all.
