Jorge Prado’s move to the United States to race in Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the AMA Pro Motocross Championship starting in 2025 has been known for a few months now, but we are one step closer to the official announcement. Prado has signed with Monster Energy Kawasaki to race full-time in the U.S. in 2025, but that news will probably not be said officially by Kawasaki until November. In the meantime, GasGas, Prado's current employer, has thanked him for his service in a press release this morning. Prado won the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) title and then backed up his #1 plate with the 2024 title as well in a showdown against Honda HRC's Tim Gajser that came down to to the finale in Prado's home country of Spain. It seemed like an ending of a movie the way it played out as the GasGas rider won the finale overall and the title in his final MXGP race. As you will see in the video below, GasGas honored Prado with a special MC 450F Prado Edition earlier this year, celebrating his 2023 MXGP title. Props to the GasGas crew for such a well-executed farewell.
As for Prado on green, expect to see that in a few weeks, and then it's on to Anaheim.
