- The current MXGP champion, Jorge Prado, made quite the impression during his first four rounds of Monster Energy Supercross this year. With that, Prado now has a choice to make, who will he race for in 2025? Here are some thoughts and early rumors/options coming up.
Prado has also talked about us Outdoors being bigger faster tracks that he wants to experience put that along with his like for Supercross I think he'll be here in 2025
Can I just say I appreciate the A Day To Remember shirt. That's awesome
Prado is one of the most respectful people I’ve ever seen and I think he would be awesome for our sport in the US. And I’m not even talking about his ability to ride talking about his character and personality is very honorable. And even though he just started Supercross, he looks pretty dang good for the short period of time he’s been doing it. Can’t imagine a full year of Supercross under his belt how good he would beand then for outdoors, we all know he might give Tomac a run for his money ,maybe.🤙🇺🇸✌️👊🙏💯
the clueless fans would still turn on him after he wins a couple of titles ....and he would blow Tomac away outdoors at this point 🤣
"Prado is one of the most respectful people I’ve ever seen..." Obviously, you haven't seen much.
I live in Spain and would love to see Prado racing in the US. On the flip side we really need some top flight riders from the states racing MXGP.
Sadly, due to the reasons we listed early on, top US riders don't truly seem interested in going MXGP. Only riders who don't have a good option here look towards Europe to reset their career. Maybe one day it'll change.
@@vitalmx With all the respect for the US series, when people say that the best from Europe come to the US to race the best series, it's sadly just for the money. Or at least it's one reason. It is such a good series because of the money involved. MXGP will have to change something to stay competitive against the US series. As a spectator you pay a lot of money in MXGP, as a racer you pay a lot of starting fee in MXGP but get no money when you win a GP? There is something wrong in the system.
@@vitalmxvillopoto was the only hope and unfortunately it was cut short
@@vitalmx in an interview yesterday Jason Anderson said he’d like to go to Europe at the end of his current contract.
@@JustTip922 Watched it, it was termed as he'd like to but not "I'm going for sure".
AC will be cut loose (unfortunately) to make room for Prado 🤘🤘
Fortunately, he needs to be cut. What has he done? nothing. He was awesome back in the day, he lost it somewhere along the way.
I hate this because I love AC but this makes a lot of sense… plus I’d love to see Prado on a KX
hell nah, first he rams AC’s wrist then takes his spot? Fuckin europeans
What has Kawi gotten out of AC in the last 5 years? He's constantly hurt, and even when he's racing, he's having arm and wrist issues. I think it's cool they have backed him, but it seems like a very once sided business relationship
@@jankie55he’s just a great brand ambassador with a big following and overall good person. Other than that you have summed it up perfectly and suffice it to say he’s done at Kawi after this year. I’m surprised they resigned him the last go around. He needs a change anyways.
KTM makes the more sense as a group brand.. for him, for the brand and for all the riders (husky, ktm). He became a Redbull rider when he was still a kid.. It will be hard for both parties to break up that deal.. Or for monster to bring big $$$ for them to break it.
This actually is true he was ktm but got moved because of herlings. He will stay in the group though 100% sure of that
I think they’ll drop Craig, move AP7 to husky and Prado will be on the KTM
Seems like he's very marketable and will only get better in SX. We know his outdoor riding is fantastic...
Prado is going to kawi next year. That is the rumor in the GH parking lot.
A welcome addition to our awesome group of Supercross and motocross 450 class riders
a 32 year old KR94 on a Ducati in '26 would be 🔥🔥🔥
Ducati has the budget to hire someone who can actually win a championship.
Nah - itll be an italian rider 100%. Nobody expects a championship year 1, but it’ll DEFINITELY be an italian lol
@@benholmquist1148Phil Nicoletii. He's Italian lol.
It will never happen. Idk where everyone gets that Kenny is going to Ducati in 26.
@@benholmquist1148 an Italian SX racer that can win??good luck
He seems to absolutely love it over here, a lil surprised kawi idk why tld wouldn’t do 2 guys . But if he rode the kawi and likes that makes sense. And could stay thor
Only in Merica does the fashion find its way into the equation, he could win riding with Fruit of the Loom gear 🇺🇸🤦♂️
Don’t think he’s saying fashion matters think he’s just saying he wouldn’t have to go through hassle of switching sponsers lmao
@@georgelynch6139It is not about Fashion it is money lmao Why ride for TLD if I get no gear bonus
Kawi 450 doesn’t have gear deals those are rider based. Anderson is Astars and Adam is fox.
Real eye catching content. Great follow up on this bright Spanish kid.
What’s not to like about Prado? Love watching him ride the few rounds he was here. I hope he comes full time next year!
Great video. Very straight forward and informative. I’m betting that took some nerve to say that AC info out loud as everyone loves him and hates to see him struggle. Nice job
Great content and analysis.
Id say Kawi. AC is awesome and such a cool guy, and I think he is destined for the announcer booth and doing racing on the side.
i just assumed if prado comes to america full time hell probably stick with gasgas
100 % he is going and 100% he will be gasgas
It'll be with Husky, taking Craig's spot
@@tankeater not a chance. Have you seen the husky in the whoops !! Craig used to be a master in the whoops and its now basically destroyed him
@@chriss7930 you are correct about Craig, but that's an aluminum frame to a steel frame difference... You want him on the freshman team? I was suggesting the B ride. But if you think the C ride is what he deserves, it makes me question if you'd like him to fail. Just saying.
@@tankeater I don't want him.to fail at all ! Am a big fan. You could be right though about the frame
I know everyone saying AC is gone but I honestly think AC needs to go to another team if he can. Maybe a change can help his career. I know his grip is a problem but he seems to fight the kawi bad.
Adam has 1 and 1/2 hands = he is obviously disabled.
He's not a top contender
Husky makes the most sense to me. Keeps him in the KTM group and he can still run his own gear deal
This is what I’m saying, also their two 450 riders suck so it makes sense to get rid of them
He won’t leave red bull for rockstar
Great breakdown! I appreciate the insight and the complete picture of options for Jorge! Why won't Bubba/RC describe the racing of all 22 riders?
I know rockstar Husqvarna can use him on there 450 team. Stewart maybe can get going but Christian Craig is done, terrible on a 450. Kawasaki will need a 450 guy also because AC is done. Or keep him on gas gas, the 51 is also near the end or what’s one more guy on that ridiculously large monster energy Yamaha team. Every team should have a chip in on him when he comes back. He will challenge for a 450 motocross championship.
Forkner is so young still... he's healed. I think he crushes it this year on 250 and steps up to 450. When we all sit back and realize the depth of talent in both classes... Expectations of who can win a title is a reach... I'm stoked to see it mixed up through top 15 in 450... Sport needs more outside corporations to put some big money into it.. I'd like to see at least 50 guys per class getting paid big! Top 100 really... Anyone I see top 40 is straight rippin... so hopefully some creative solutions to open up the sport to more pros making a respectable living that can provide for their family and future... and health insurance should be a top priority. As for Detroit Sx! I'm rooting for JA21/ET3/C$1/KR94/CW2, and Danger/Forkner/Swoll/Ferry/McAdoo
Love your content... keep it reaL! 🤘😎🏁
Prado should take Eli's spot at Star, if Eli retires at the end of this year.
If ELI DOES RETIRE, I WOULD BET THAT STAR WILL GET PRADA. They seem to have plenty of money to go around. And JORGE WOULD BE THE BEST TO STEP INTO ELI'S PLACE
Isn't it crazy to think that Prado has so many good quality choices of who he can ride for next year? It's every riders dream!
Hopefully he doesnt leave but #9 may have a spot opening up at kawi, racing better with him but notsure how much more his health will let him race, but be cool to see Prado on kawi..
I’d really really love to see Prado squeeze in a quick run at WSX this year if he can. More supercross experience, more gate drops, more practice to set him up for US SX 2025. I think it’d be really beneficial for him.
Ducati has money, maybe they convince him with a big check to stay 1 more year for MXGP 🤷🏼♂️ although isn’t there rumors for Kenny to possibly ride for Ducati? He seems to be a big money guy so…
When you started the discussion about teams and bikes as options for Jorge...my first thought was - Kawasaki probably makes the most sense, as I assume Adam needs to move on. Let's see - New country, New team, New Bike...go all the way with something seriously different.
Prado on a Kawasaki sounds good to me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Between a Kawasaki or other top factory deal, gear deals, bigger bonuses, more races etc….
Prado will clean up compared to his current situation.
He is coming next season imo.
ADTR shirt I love it 🤘
Star needs him they could get the money for a 3rd top guy and have a replacement for tomac when he retires. He also could learn from two of the best ever in sx with Webb and Tomac. If he could combine the knowledge of both he would unstable.
The problem is there might not be a third spot. Webb is in for three years, Justin Cooper might hit his requirements in his contract which will automatically trigger a second year in his deal, and Tomac gets final say if he wants to go another year.
Kawasaki needs somebody. Bring him on.
I could see KTM moving AP to GasGas. The reason they have backed AP this long (granted his is doing much better this year) is to help their image with the "country boy" crowd in the US who has always seen KTM as kind of a european fancy-pants kind of brand, but i'm seeing a lot of those guys picking up GasGas bikes as it has more of the workin-man image and I think Barcia has helped with that marketing effort and AP would be a big boost for that as well.
It will also be interesting how long Hunter has at Honda before they cut him loose
KTM probably wants a outdoor title, Prado could have a good shot at that. I’ve always thought AP7 was a better fit for the GasGas brand image than KTM. Plus him and Barcia are buddies. That would be a wicked fun team!
They already have chase who’s gonna be a threat this year in outdoors. I don’t know why they need another top guy to run with chase
@@cooperwelty4749 probably the same reason STAR Yamaha would want two champion Premiere Class Supercross contenders and 27 Lites bikes 🤣 It’s called a backup plan and/or more of your color on the podium.
I hope people take him seriously in supercross because he will be a threat when he gets time in. He could come straight to mx here and win. Not saying dominate but he is very young and the defending world champ.
I hope star lands him if tomac retires.
Assuming cianciarulo is done then Kawi baby!
Gas Gas really fits with Prado being from Spain I think they will try to keep him on Gas Gas
Isn’t the plan for him to eventually replace Barcia and stick with the same team? Seems like that would the most probable scenario.
All the talk is about Supercross. What is your opinion on Prado for Motocross?
He's a multi-time world champion, he will be a title contender in the US in that respect.
he will probably be on the top 5, being a world champion.. also have you seen him at MXON?
I AGREE... And Super MX as well... @@vitalmx
En Motocross mejor que es lo que hizo toda su vida. ruclips.net/video/efUfShPXdHw/видео.htmlsi=l9IwvKw6fCC-jOSM&t=1
I kind of hope GasGas decides to have a second bike. Would be cool to have him and Barcia on the team. If not, I think they sign Prado and get rid of Barcia.
Barcia is signed through 2025.
I agree and think Kawi is going to move on from AC and snag Prado.
And man that’s going to be such a rough conversation. AC is such a quality dude and it’s truly such a shame what has happened to him. Your heart has to just break for the guy and his perseverance is incredibly admirable. You know those guys still and always will love AC, so I don’t envy them having to have that conversation. It’s going to be really tough. But at the end of the day this is a business and I think Kawi knows that AC just isn’t ever going to be the same again. And when a guy like Prado is available and it makes sense for both sides, they gotta do what they gotta do.
He'll probably take Craig's spot with Husky
Reading some of the comments makes me think many of you did not even listen to anything Lindsey said. He is far more connected to the industry than any of us and knows why stuff is or is not possibjle.
Prado is a red bull athlete, so going to kawi of yamaha is not gonna be that easy. Anyway, I hope to see him go for Supercross in 2025.
As we mentioned in the video, Monster Energy themselves are very interested in getting Prado to switch from Red Bull.
Would love to see him go to beta and help build the Supercross program but I don’t see beta forking out that money in super since off-road is there bread and butter
If anything the best option for Ducati right now is to sign both Prado and Roczen for next year. I think though likely KTM will push for Prado over here and likely AP may get moved, but hopefully they could keep him and have all 3 of them. I very very highly doubt he would go husky, he is a Red Bull guy and Red Bull guys just don't leave. Same goes with Monster Energy Kawi. I just very highly doubt Redbull will let him go
Ducati will be a Monster operation.
@@vitalmx I realized that after the comment, so scratch that. Both Prado and Roczen are Redbull guys
Maybe he goes to star Yamaha to keep is gear sponsor and some of the other ones other then he would have to do monster
He's taking hunters spot at HRC
Malcolm Stewart to take ACs ride. All new line up at Kawi in 2025
As we stated in the video, Malcom signed a two year extension with Husqvarna late last year. Malcolm will be with Husqvarna for 2024 and 2025…
Triumph
ehhh
Pulling for Hunter in Detroit. Yeah I know but I can still think it may happen.
Anderson wants to go do MXGP according to himself on the gypsy tales podcast, could free up some room at Kawi
He mentioned in his next contract, the one he just signed at the end of last year is for USA in 2024 and 2025. The earliest that Anderson could go to MXGP is 2026 and he said that's a maybe.
You say ACs time is done with so much injury but didn't say the same thing about Forkner?? Why?? I'd say Forkners time is done having more injuries I'd say
AC is done due to the fact his injury has long-lasting effects that have been detrimental to his ability to ride. That's why AC is retiring. Forkner was still able to win two races this year.
What rule are you talking about that would make him have to ride 450? When Reed came over he had to drop down to 250, before Prado even came over he said he didn't want to drop down to the 250. We have 250 riders much older than him he's never really raced in the US until these 4 SX races
Reed wasn't a MXGP World Champion, Reed finished second in that championship. If you're a MXGP World Champion, you are not allowed to race 250 Supercross in the USA.
@@vitalmx Thanx for the reply
Can we please handle 2024 to start whit?
I bet he sticks with TLD GasGas
I vote that whenever ML does another video and decides to wear an Emo shirt, said band should be playing softly in the background. #emosnotdead
If it wouldn't demonetize us, I would so have ADTR playing in my news videos...
Can't ducati use the 4 stoke rule like yamaha did in 97 ktm did in about 99 ish honda in 01 exc
I think he will be on RB KTM, 3 riders again. Vialle will go to GasGas for a 2nd rider or take Craigs spot at RS Husky.
Are any 250 west Riders gonna try 450 east??
Monster energy Kawasaki
AC gonna quit come mid summer. Thats my guess. Mr Prado take his place when fall comes.
STAR YAMAHA
Put prado on the aluminum frame kawasaki with anderson. Cianciarulo is hurt 99% of the time. I often forget hes still racing.
I love AC but.....
At the rate of signing people. Probably to star Yamaha if anything haha
“Maybe RJ Hampshire moves up early”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ADTR SHIRT?!
YES
Huskavarna.
Hopefully Honda
Not happening, they're beyond full.
Anyone but Honda.
I heard hes going to Suzuki ! lol joking of course, I think Suzuki will pull out sooner then later , as a older Suzuki guy ,sad to say it but with more European companys coming into play now, think thats going to be the end of the Yellow bikes, they cant keep up now, wait till Ducati ,Triumph etc ,enters .
Suzuki pulled out of the GPs years ago, probably the reason Suzuki stagnated in their R&D as the GPs are the proving grounds for bike development
Pulp said kawi
Maybe he goes to monster energy kawi cause they need to find a rider that can win championship cause AC could never do and it’s time AC makes a move to a new brand
I think he's using kawi to run up the numbers. Before he signs with KTM or gas gas
KTM can pay him and TLD take delivery of the factory bike with red plastic
Prado will be on star or kawi
No chance on Prado leaving the ktm group . I dont think he has ever rode aluminium frame .i think he be red bull gas gas
Kawaski
Definitely ktm he’s been with them for to long to leave
Kenny on a Ducati
OK let's get this started Husky are in trouble C Craig is in trouble as is M Stewart both 32/31 end of career that's already one opportunity as he already rides for that huge group and this group has money and is he loyal if he does does go the Japanese route I think Kawasaki is the only one.
He's better off staying with the bike brnad he is on sp Troy Lee gas gas. He know exactly what he wants and k ow how to make that bike feel what he wants. Anything else is more of a battle for him
hope he takes christian craigs ride at husky
Gonna stay with the Austrian Company he’s ingrained in and Husky will say goodbye to Craig and let Crash Mookie walk in 2026
As we said in the video, Mookie just signed a new deal,. He's locked in for 2024 and 2025.
@@vitalmx Stated Mookie will walk in 2026 😎
Forkner is under crippling burden and pressure to perform - how can anyone believe in his ability to turn his situation around. Forkner situation;
1. He's super fast but explodes on his own. He is unable to keep it together.
2. He has super bad brekes and bad luck.
Forkner odds are the same as betting in Las Vegas - Forkner is a over cooked steak = he's done
Easy. He will replace Craig at Rockstar Husqvarna. Easy decision for the brand coming from GasGas.
Suzuki
Kawasaki will sign him
Husky because they have the worst 450 team right now!
Ducati
Barcia will leave GasGas for Prado to take the seat.
He's going to ducati
Prado will be Husky as Husky will be gone with 2:03 Craig and Stewart.
I think Ducati will pick up Jorge Prado
Will have to stay in MXGP for 2025 if that's the case.
I like the ML talks. I don't like how swap calls you talking boy.. like what else are you supposed to do in these videos.. not talk? Always pretty well spoken which I appreciate and solid info.
HOWEVER please stop with the "definition of insanity" bit... I hate it when people say that. It's literally not the definition of insanity, but people keep repeating this.. maybe these people who say it are the insane ones? If this was true then everyone who plays the lottery is clinically insane. Just stop, it's a dumb saying that doesn't make sense that gets repeated by dummied. It's right up there with "I could care less"... It's even worse than that because it's calling other people insane and at least inferring they're being stupid, WHILE saying something incredibly wrong as your argument. The irony is strong with that saying.
@@gregmulfort9577 Talking Boy is a nickname that his brother Ross gave me about 15 years ago, when I worked for him. It stuck. It's out of endearment, but most people aren't aware of that. And yes, It's not the actual definition, but it's one of my favorite sayings in life.
@@vitalmx that's good, I thought it was beef. As for the rest.. ugh!
Jorge Prado should stay in Europe. He’s not that good
Prado is ready for 2025
Wat if Prado wins championship again they would have to give him lots of money to stay compared to wat he could win in Supercross
