Jorge Prado showed signs of life at the fifth round of 2025 Pro Motocross; he battled inside of the top three and scored a top five despite crashes. It was more like the Prado that fans have come to expect, sure, but still far from his true potential, especially on a sandy track like Southwick.
“Yeah, it was a little bit better. Obviously, there’s still to show it, a P5 overall, it’s a bit better than what I had last weekend, so yeah, small steps. I wish, you know, we would be in a different spot, but I did my best, I showed good speed in practice, started a little bit with crushing at the races, and a little bit off still, but that is what it is, only around five.
So from round one till now, every single weekend I come to the race and I think I can win. Then I get a reality check on track, I don’t feel good with the bike, or I don’t, whatever. So no, we just need to keep working to make the bike better and ready to be, let’s say, get the bike to my speed, you know.
You know, during the week I do, I put myself, I just train 200%, I give everything I have, I try to be in shape, I try to be the best version of myself, and when you do that you think you’re going to be satisfied with yourself. So it’s a pity that we are in this situation, and hopefully we make big steps, but I only, I mean P5 for example today, and okay, I’d better take P5 than a P8 or P9.
