Prado any chance

Curious If him riding well could have any impact on him staying here full time or if the contracts set in stone for 2025 would love to see him stick it out

From what Prado said 2025 is NOT written in stone.

I think it would be great to have Prado here full time. Cool

          Always been a Herlings fan.  Mr.Prado has really showed me his mettle this year by showing up in the USA, realizing that SX is a different sport, and being willing to learn. That could be very humbling for the newly crowned MXGP World Champion, yet he is doing it, and as much as I can tell, he seems to be enjoying the experience. Hope he also shows up at a National this year during an MXGP break ,that could be an interesting race for everyone.  Very impressed with the effort he has put in this winter.

He will be SX full time in 2025

Agreed. His grin on the podium said enough. Kid wants it

I’d say its a good chance he’s here now in ‘25. He seems to be learning supercross quickly, is a threat to win races outdoors, and would perfectly fill Barcia’s spot when he retires.

I hope he comes here fulltime. I love it when the GP guys come over. Would he start in 250? Can he since hes already raced 450s? Just curious bc idk the rules on that

He has a contract in Europe and a world title to defend. It would be really tough to forego this, even if he wanted to. Maybe had he gone 1-1 or something crazy like that it would be considered. Can't wait to see him give it a shot in 2025 knowing what to expect and with a full off-season under his belt.

He has to go 450 because he has a premier class world title. Before 2023 he could have dropped to the 250s

As well he has no interest in 250's even if he could.

 

I still have herlings as the favorite for the gp crown.... and gasgas could make him an amazing offer to stay over there too.

Ahh, ok thank you. If a GP rider has a 250 world title, could they start in the US on a 250?

I think we are going to see a good number of established stars retire soon on the US circuit, would love to see Prado here for the Nationals.

The question I have, will his 3 rounds be enough to qualify him for the smx finals at the end of the us season?

I doubt it, he would probably have to do some outdoors to make the cut with 2 motos worth of points per round. Hope he races a national this summer!

He has a great attitude. Like others have said. I hope somehow he races full time here in 2025.
