Prado very honest about his situation on the Kawasaki

As someone who was saw Jorge Prado riding every year in person since he was on an 85, it is pretty clear the real Jorge Prado has not shown up in the USA yet. And as Eli Tomac showed and admitted at Millville, even he can look unlike his real self when he is not comfortable on his Yamaha, a bike he has won motos on this year.
Prado is yet to find a setting that allows his to show his MXGP level, but he is not doubting himself and just waiting for bike improvements to show his real level.
In a very, very honest interview with Lewis Phillips Jorge said: “I didn’t really feel good in Millville, and we tried to make some small improvements for second moto, and I wasn’t feeling good, but at least I could kind of roll the track. Yeah. So, that’s it.”
“I know what I do. And I know what I’m capable of. That’s it. Good is if I win, right? And in Southwick, it wasn’t good. I never felt good. I’ve been racing sand forever. So for me, then I can compensate a lot just because of my riding. And that’s it. I mean, even Redbud, when I was leading, I felt like I was racing in slow motion. I don’t even know how I made it 15 minutes first when I was just cruising around the track. So, yeah, just trying to get out of cruise mode.
“So one thing, it’s clear and it’s that I didn’t win two years in a row the MXGP world title because I was lucky. I know my level, I know what I can do if I feel good. So I’m not stressing. It’s just a matter of time to figure things out and hopefully we can make improvements and go in a better direction. The team is trying to doing their best. And I’m doing my best. So like I said, it’s just a matter of time.”
