I remember seeing him the first time when he got 65cc World Champion in italy. He was so incredibly fast on that little bike... The same day Jonass got the 85cc world title and savatgy got the 125 one after battling with seewer and alldredge
Be interesting to see him race against those guys soon
I hope we'll have him next year in Bercy-Lille !

thx Richard for posting
my reply was tong in cheek for the most part, no hard feelings.
Thank everyone for the interest and responses, especially the positive, it is majority, it is good to see is people from differents countries and there some ones know good about Jorge and others see and says, ey who is that boy? thats great, is talk about Motocross, talk about one young very good rider who try to arrive to the top
Would be appreciated share here all you can see publish interesting about Jorge, in the USA time, for all us can follow
The suitcase is ready at the door of his home in Lommel. Inside there are clothes for more than two months, school books, various models of Red Bull hat and two hulls which show that is not about tourism.
The remaining material heavier, his team has sent directly to California. Precisely KTM Factory Racing team has argued the American "candy" to seduce the boy and close the contract with the great promise of international motocross until 2021.
Our Jorge Prado, the youngster of fourteen who dazzled the fans with his meteoric rise up leave the United States in California for land preparation for 2016 and start living what for him is a dream season, "From I run motorbike my goal has been to reach the AMA Supercross Championship and now we will take a small step. I will train there, with American pros, to prove in supercross and learn about a country that lives with passion the sport. "
While his father documentation and luggage checks, Jorge can not hide his joy at the trip: "I have not been there, but I know him well to see many videos; I know there are many spectacular circuits and good weather ... All I need to make a good preseason. "
What will be the weekly plan?
- "Walking long motorcycle, at least four days a week, two more will I go by bike and one for rest and learn a little something."
Will you do motocross or supercross?
- "At first motocross because I get after a month off and I have to take shape, but of course that later prove to supercross what I like."
Lugo will be integrated into the team structure 250 KTM-Red Bull-TLD, whose headquarters is located south of Los Angeles in the city of Temecula: "In principle I will train much with Jessy Nelson and Shane McElrath, but coincidiré repeatedly guess the rest of KTM and for that matter, ever hope to match or James Stewart Ken Roczen. "
What is the purpose of the trip?
- "Learn and learn. Filming much motorbike and know how to adapt quickly is all ... I guess also eat many burgers and the occasional ice cream. "
-When you return?
- "In January, just after the first race of the AMA Supercross in Anaheim; we are left to see it to know the atmosphere inside. "
-With whom do you travel?
- "I'm going with my father and live in a apartment, but then come Christmas holidays my mother and my sister."
'And the studies?
- "No problem, we talked with the college of Lommel and I have greatly facilitated things. I just have to move forward with the agenda and ask questions by mail or by videoconference. For now, as I have very good grades, they trust me. "
It is true that in negotiating with KTM has weighed heavily plan to medium / long term to run in the US, but still Jorge does not know when will that leap: "So far in 2016 will run in Europe and then back to United States in winter to keep trying little by little, but you can not know today, depends on what they think in KTM and also how I go ... Just'm a potato and then do not go there. "
Where do you think it's highest level?
- "I think the American level is very high and Europe too. They are different races, I think Dungey would not win in Europe, like in USA Cairoli not win, although without a doubt Jeffrey Herlings is above all, is the best. "
CHAMPION OF EUROPE
The trip to America is the finishing touch to a brilliant season for Prado, which has exceeded all expectations: "He came running with 85 cc with small wheels and it was my first season in 125 with a more powerful and heavier bike, which came out in order to climb up into the top ten European and it turns out I've won, I am the European champion, we did not expect it . "
And after that you went to two and a half What was the change?
- "As in the transition from 85 to 125, this has not been a very sudden but progressive change. The hardest thing is to adapt to the difference in weight and gaining strength to hold them, but I like the change because the four stroke should not take such high speed and me, I like to change very soon, the engine is well suited to my style. Anyway, if you go fast on a bike, you go fast at all. "
-The Race Championship in Talavera Spain has been a good thermometer to measure yourself right?
- "Yes, there were only he trained a month with the 250 cc And I also I gave him a good slap in training, but despite that I felt great, I second and I could see that I'm close to Iker Larrañaga and Ander Valentín, who have already demonstrated that they can be ahead at the European, so that I encourage me for next year and the work of preseason. "
But the European 250 D.C. will be much more difficult ...
- "Of course, as there is no age limit and no pilots worldwide, with much experience. To this we must add to all my rivals this year, they were not lame. It will be hard, but I like that. "
You -¿Debutarás in some MX2 World Championship race?
- "I guess so, if all goes well this year and will run some of the World and I go for everything. The level of the first World is higher, but the average European level is higher, so go out to do my best to go first and if they can, they caught me ... "
-In Sand you've shown you're at the highest level, does that mean I have to improve in tough terrain?
- "It's funny, but I won the race that was precisely the European hard, which I do not think that goes wrong in this area, not least because the Championship of Spain's all hard. What I think is that I'm a full-time pilot and is very noticeable in the arena, where other pilots flojean. "
And the trial you also use it as training?
- "Yes, I amuse myself by me and brings balance and confidence on the bike. Also this month I have run two races in Belgium and have been first and third in the other. "
It seems that nothing resists the Spanish motocross prodigy, even the microphone. Your future will continue drawn out at the EMX250, in the World MX2 and the American adventure in which only the best have succeeded. Good luck, Jorge !!!

Benny Bloss is without a ride, that is the bigger problem.
I know that Matthes keeps bashing the road to SX, probably because of Carmichaels involvement. But the fact is, most of the top rookies in sx have positive experience of racing AX before SX.
I just was pointing out the absurdity that an amateur standout(Prado) could score a top 20 at a GP and get granted a pass to race American Suprecross, but an American amateur standout(Bloss) can score top 20 at an American Motocross National yet still not allowed to race American Suprecross.
That one wildcard rider who scored points this year despite finishing last could ride SX
