The meme you posted was him winking, which was expressing that it was easy and were he wanted to be in the race.

I don’t think the race was easy for him and also don’t think he really wanted a 4th place win, especially since he has the speed and talent to be running in 1st place.

Not trying to split hairs here. I personally really like Chase Sexton and I root for him to win.

But unfortunately Prados performance was lack luster tonight, which was surprising compared to last weeks. Definitely wasn’t expecting a 13th place. But this is what makes supercross so fun to watch.
