Will the presence, and hopefully partnership, with Jorge Prado help rejuvenate Jason Anderson and help him find another gear? They’re both looking good at the test track…

Poll

Will Prado’s presence help Anderson get on the box more in 2025?

I think the desire to keep his ride for another year will be all the motivation he needs.

They both could raise their game if they are willing to learn/look after each other. 

If JA21 could pick up on those starts what Prado is doing… He could be danger and fun to watch all season if he start near the front all the time!

Two Kawasakis out front is something we haven’t seen in the big bike class in a while!

Ando has mentioned that Prado’s enthusiasm has lifted the team’s energy. 
Ando’s a vibe type of guy, so it’s possible.

The only person who can motivate Anderson is Ando

Especially now that Bobby is out at Triumph. I doubt he has the same motivation to leave for that team now. I see J Coop getting that 450 seat, Sexton to Star.

Are there any 450 contracts coming up this year or riders moving to the 250 class that could feasibly take his spot? Justin Cooper, maybe?

Anyone would be inspired by Prados consistant training regime. Hell if AC stayed on it would probably light a fire under his ass as well

I think Kawasaki wants Anderson to step it up a bit so they have a reason to give him a 1 year contract for 2026. I think Kawasaki has to hope that Levi will take that spot in 2027 after hopefully a championship this year and then defending in 2026.

Is it me or did Prado race 1 SX round in the US last year then fly back to Spain??? I think it was Anaheim 1. I remember him saying that he had to decide what he wanted to do but i think he got 2nd or 3rd in one of the heats, 13th in the main event.

He did four rounds, won a Heat race.
