Sexton, Roczen and Webb behind him, still pulls a 2 second gap.
Haters hate all you want, dude has some SERIOUS chops.
This realistically should have occurred about 3 mos. ago.
Didn’t it?
Prado has shown flashes of elite speed. I need to see him put it together for a main when it matters, in wet/adverse conditions, and lastly, for a full season (let's see what happens outdoors). He is an elite talent with all the potential in the world.
No one’s hating on him when he’s actually trying to race. You can’t apply last years criticism to what he’s currently doing. The dude shows his ability to see the track differently all the time, I have no doubt his SX results will come around and that he’ll have some great rides this summer.

Heat race..He really is the modern Mike alessi huh
I’ve seen a lot of hate after last years fiasco. But I truly believe he is elite, if he can hold steady during the mains, top 5 rider all year easy.
Did he cry?
He's so damn inconsistent in the mains though. Whenever someone is behind him he goes 500% defensive and drops his laptime because of line choices. And after someone passes him he makes a bunch of mistakes. A1 was the perfect set up. Got passed quickly and then had nobody close for pretty much the entire race. Maybe KTM should think about having him train with other riders instead of doing 1000 laps alone..
Yeah except Mike Alessi never won 4 world championships.
Or refused to give an effort to his team.
You really needs to get your eyes testing
Nearly sounds like someone without much SX experience doesn’t it?
Fair enough. But he's now done what 20 races? That's 2 full 250 seasons. He's got the speed clearly, just needs to work on the rest. Easier said than done obviously but I wonder how much better he'd be if he trained in a Star type setup during the week
Nah but he was super giddy that time he got beat by tomac by 20 seconds.
He will win mains next season.
Look at it this way, he’s only going to get better.
He is the perfected version of Mike Alessi. Jorge is better in every conceivable way with speed, style, bike skill and technique. It makes the holeshot, fade & block method actually work sometimes since he has true outright speed that many don't (and Mike never did). He also has just enough arrogance and lack of respect for the competitors to be that title contending/winning Prick that Tony so-wished Mike would be.
I think he's going to be in for a rude awakening again this Summer when he realizes that the above method of racing isn't going to work against these guys here over the long haul, even on his precious KTM. Surely he will win some motos, but this will be much heavier competition than his 2 MXGP titles against injury riddled fields in 2023 and 2024.
Pit Row
Prado has definitely exceeded my expectations for the season. Didn’t help that the track looked super one lined but he’s been riding great honestly. Wouldn’t be suprised if he got a SX win next season.
Prado holding up Webb kinda ended up ruining webbs , coopers, and ferrandis night haha
This is exactly correct! The guy is dangerous to be around, zero situational awareness on the track. He barely ever had to come through the pack in MXGP, and when he did, he lost. He should be practicing with groups of riders and be starting in the back of the pack. At this point, he's basically a slightly faster Vince Friese.
Adding Jett and Deegan to this field for next year. I’ll take that bet.
Prompt I ran through an LLM:
“Many time MXGP Champion Jorge Prado moves to the US to race Supercross. Shows elite speed (top qualifier / heat race wins) but fades in the main. Is this just a lack of SX lap volume vs guys like Tomac/Webb who grew up on SX? Estimate the lap gap and explain the inconsistency.”
LLM answer (clean + grounded):
This isn’t a talent issue — it’s a lap bank issue.
Estimated SX lap bank:
➡️ That’s roughly a 9,000–11,000 lap deficit
That gap shows up in very specific ways:
1. Why he looks amazing in practice/heats
2. Why he fades in mains
SX mains aren’t about max speed — they’re about efficiency under fatigue
Veteran SX guys:
Prado:
3. Where the gap actually lives
4. The big missing piece
He skipped the entire U.S. 250SX apprenticeship
That class is where riders learn:
Prado is learning those lessons:
➡️ on a 450
➡️ against the best SX riders in the world
➡️ in real time
Bottom line:
He’s compressing ~8–10 years of SX pattern recognition into 1–2 seasons.
That’s why you see:
It’s not effort or talent.
It’s reps.
He’s a menace for the leaders, I thought Webb was really going to KO him .
Sweet, my electric bill just went up $50.

No original thoughts required!
It says something when there are 5 riders stacked up behind him….Dumb move by Webb but I understand his frustration.
u kno wht 😂😂 as a coop supporter, i respect it 🫡 coop gotta do better cause i expect better from such a caliber rider he is , onto SLC for the Webb wagon 👌🏾💪🏾
He’s a professional racer. He gets paid to keep people behind him. If you don’t like passing him, get better starts 🤷🏻♂️
On the other hand, George might want to listen to DV. It looks way better to start outside the top 10 and work your way up to 6th than it does to holeshot get passed by 5 guys.
He’s clearly fast enough to keep those guys behind him. They’re going to be singing a different tune outdoors
