Anyways, I look at the American series and I don’t see anyone with next level talent. Meaning, I don’t think anyone in the current crop can be a Tomac, Roczen, Dungey, Villopoto etc type of guy.
However, looking at the MX2 class I don’t know how anyone can argue that Prado won’t be the next level talent type. That kids got absolutely everything and will be a future legend barring a significant injury.
Is there nobody out there with some real info?
Also, maybe Matthes or DB, I though said the second year of his contract could possibly be void if he’s not performing.
Either way, he’s totally shitting the bed, and at this point/rate I would be surprised if he races next year at all.
Either Covington is going to find his speed or he will quit racing. Hopefully the first one
These performances simply are not helping his market value, I don't care how long his contact is.
Remember, They sent Jason Anderson home when he was under performing on the Rockstar Suzuki all those years ago...
Clearly has some talent....
Also for the others stating the MXGP field is weak- explain why Mitch Harrison can’t crack the top 10 over there yet was capable of top 10’s in AMA?
(I don’t know what the hell is going on!)
Pit Row
I’m a fan of the kid, but he’s far from the finished article. His racecraft when he doesn’t get the hole shot is ordinary at best.
Those guys are just humans. I mean ye, I excepted Covington to bring at least the same results as Lawrence, he even battled prado/jonass a couple GPS last year, but who knows what's wrong.
But trust me, it must be a bad feeling for him riding back to the husky trucks after a 30th finish without a mechanical/crash.
If it is something at least partly bike related then it somewhat explains why he and the team have so far gone dark on any feedback to the fans - 'I hate this bike on top of everything else' isn't ideal publicity. Thomas as a rider is very very capable, he's had numerous great results against other great riders. You don't lose that overnight without some drastic problem. Just a little feedback to the fans would be nice, though has any journalist tried?
Seems like an interview every journalist should be chasing as its something most fans are curious about.
And i've seen him enough in GPs to know that he is much better then 10 secs of the pace.
My guess is its not an injury since that would have been published by now. Maybe mental issues/stress/total loss of confidence/private issues.
