I am sure this is somewhere on this forum, but I am a huge fan of a guy that can put his ego aside and try Supercross.  I don’t know of any other MX1 champion that is secure enough to come over here and get a 13th and accept it as a big win.  Really enjoyed his interview on Vital.

Prado, you have me as a fan.  I am excited to see your progress in Supercross and look forward to your continued success at the MXGP’s.   Thank you for joining the traveling circus for 3 rounds.  The Supercross series is better for it.

I agree.  Same goes for Tiga as he has given SX a shot a few times too.  Tons of respect for both of them.  Wish Prado was going to make the Glendale round.

He looks like handsome squidward. I’m a huge fan.

Did Gasjer do a regular SX race? I only remember him doing Monster Cup. Either way, good job to both of these champs, it takes big balls to step that far out of your comfort zone.

I have to admit, since someone posted a few years ago on Vital, that we should look out for Prado, it was hard to like him at first. I am a firm believer in proving yourself first, rather than the "believe the hype" entrance. However, this has made me a fan. I am looking forward to see if you enters the SMX circus in the future.

It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on when he makes the switch. Definitely takes balls to do it.  I’ve always found it hard to be a fan due to his questionable cross jump / swerve tactics and apparent attitude about it.  Maybe he’ll change my mind.  Respect the guy for making the switch though, a lot to lose before the gp season by doing it.

Handful of years ago, the nutswingers were talking about him and my first impression was "sounds like an European handbag, F him", then I saw some Red Bull content with him and changed my tune. He seems to be a good kid. Stupid fast. Glad to have him here

Like JT, I'm all in on this guy come 2025! Takes some big balls to show up to race the 450 SX class with literally no experience and a few weeks of training. Mad props to this guy, and he has a healthy and realistic perspective on where he sits with SX at the moment. Like every other foreign rider that comes to race in the US, they always add positively in both race craft and culture.
