Even if Prado adapts to the production based KTM, he has to get through the SX season healthy to make the nationals. Seeing how many riders who have been racing SX for years have a hard time completing a SX season uninjured, I think we can all agree it is going to be difficult for Prado to do. I hope it doesn't lead to him bitching about the team and bike when he is on KTM. We can all see what lead to this season for him (thanks for the great read ML) injuries, new bike, new team, new to...

For sure strange the mechanic for a bike that had issues throughout the season is given the mechanic of the year award 🤷‍♂️

The Prado fatigue is real

Translation “I’m having trouble getting out of the personal deal I’ve done with Monster and I don’t think I can get away with leaving Kawi before SMX. This is a feeble attempt to try and smooth things over with the team so I can make it somewhat tenable for SMX all whilst taking no personal accountability”

Ouch...

Wasn't prado way faster then all 4 of them?

Just wait until you try an Enduro...

We installed several of the backward falling gates in the 70s and 80s and they all would fold forward so not sure what home built stuff you used there in kangaroo land. This one "didnt flop foward on its own" as you are saying, Jett ran into it

I agree. The EX is pushing it as far as a customer base. Road legal, which is good but again, you are at the mercy of the Stark charger cord. 1 hour from the house and you better be turning around. Enduro? The extra battery just gets you to the next check before you hour out plus you got to carry the extra weight with you. I see the EX as a niche bike inside a niche bike, in a niche market. Stark really needs the racing bodies to loosen up so they can breathe.

They are braindead hicks you can't reason with them. You can't even present factual information to them. Just jingle some keys in their face like a baby and move on lmao

Ian is spewing bullshit trying to protect his employer. Anyone with eyes and common sense could tell it was a mechanical problem that led to the crash. KTM is doing damage control because, once again, a bike malfunction launched their premier rider to the moon. Last time it was a broken throttle housing

Man the Sexton hate is too much

That's a very poor take. Very poor. Steve was crying about the flag waving and crowd chanting USA 2 days later on pulpmx, long before the team was announced. It was also Haiden's rookie season, his first 1-1 in a national (the first 1-1 that season in the 250 class), so the kid can be happy about it and wave the flag. The Aussies brothers were cleaning up, and Deegan gets a win which injected a bit of patriotism into the crowd, especially when that awesome Stars and Stripes was raised up. That wasn't to divide fans. Another poor take...

Don't worry I knew you'd play the victim in your response.

Not entitled to your own opinion unless it agrees with the vital cabal. They'd shit on Tomac in a second if he said something they didn't like. And yes, Tomac was taking a jab at Matthes because Matthes doesn't like American patriotism, and flag waving (which is why I loved Eli's tweet). Like many, he's bought into the idea that being proud of your own country, waving a flag, etc. is ethnocentric. Of course, that only applies to America. If Mikkel Haarup won the 250 class and flew a Danish flag, Matthes would be all about it.
