Spanish motocross phenom Jorge Prado has officially signed a multi-year deal with Monster Energy Kawasaki, marking a significant shift in his racing career as he makes his full-time move to American soil for the 2025 SuperMotocross (SMX) season.
After years of dominating the European circuit, including capturing the 2023 MXGP World Championship, Prado is ready to take on the highly competitive SMX series, which combines both AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross into one elite championship. The 24-year-old’s long-anticipated jump to the U.S. has finally materialized, and fans are eager to see how his world-class talent will stack up against America’s best.
“I’m excited for this new chapter with Monster Energy Kawasaki,” Prado said. “Racing in the U.S. has always been a goal of mine, and I feel ready—mentally and physically—to compete at the highest level. The team has an incredible track record, and I can’t wait to get to work.”
Monster Energy Kawasaki, known for grooming champions, sees Prado as a key piece in its future title runs. With a silky-smooth riding style, pinpoint throttle control, and a relentless drive to win, Prado is expected to be a force in both the indoor Supercross stadiums and the rugged outdoor motocross tracks.
His transition will be closely watched, as many European riders have struggled to adapt to the aggressive, fast-paced nature of American racing. However, Prado’s exceptional technique, race IQ, and proven ability to learn quickly suggest he could buck the trend.
As the 2025 season approaches, the addition of Prado adds even more firepower to an already stacked SMX roster. With elite talent and strong team support behind him, Jorge Prado is set to make waves—and possibly history—in his American debut.
