On the latest PulpMX Show, David Vuillemin, a guest in the studio, disclosed that he has received information from a reliable source indicating that Jorge Prado will be joining Kawasaki for the 2025 season to compete in the AMA championships, including Supercross, Motocross, and SMX.
After securing the 2023 MXGP World Championship title, GasGas provided Prado with the opportunity to participate in the opening four rounds of the AMA SX series this year. Despite lacking experience in Supercross, Prado demonstrated his quick learning ability by consistently running in the top ten in the 450SX class.
It appears that Prado will transition to racing full time in the AMA championships in 2025, but not as part of the KTM Group. Vuillemin shared the following on the PulpMX Show.
DV: Have you guys talked about Prado going to Kawasaki for three years?
Matthes: Yeah, he rode the bike. I don’t know if I heard a three year contract, but yeah…
DV: Yeah, three years. I heard three years supposedly from a very reliable source. They say, Kawasaki for three years. I love this, I love everything about this. I kind of wanted Marvin (Musquin) to do that, trying to have him leave the Red Bull KTM group and try something Japanese.
