Jorge Prado’s journey to the United States to try his hand in the AMA Supercross Championship was more than just a leap into the unknown; it was a quest to test his skills against a new frontier of competition and live out a lifelong dream. The reigning 2023 MXGP World Champion was after fresh challenges, and the American SX tracks beckoned with the promise of fierce rivalries, raucous crowds and unforgiving terrain.
Prado has been riding since he could walk and has always dreamed of racing in America. In January, 23-year-old Prado entered a highly competitive field in the 450SX class and experienced the ups and downs of the sport in a rapidly condensed time. From qualifying for the Main event in all four races, to facing tumultuous race conditions in back-to-back mud races in San Francisco and San Diego unlike much the sport has seen before, to his first Triple crown, winning a heat race and more.
Coming from MXGP to Supercross is a big risk – the two are almost entirely different sports – but it is one that Prado, his team and family were willing to pursue.
