If he is gonna race here like he wants he should stay here and get acclimated to our much hotter national series. Roczen struggled a shit load in our heat and MM was basically a non factor his first year I'm sure the heat did not help him either.
IDK man, I think doing EMX/MX2 is more important for his overall development. He doesn't need to win his first year in America

He's 14 right now and he will turn 16 only a few days before A1 2017.
So if he was to stay here over the summer, he could just be on the practice tracks. Maybe it would help him for the heat but he would enter his first SX series after a whole year of not racing (and he hasnt races a fourstroke on international level at all yet)ise.

He is from Spain, its moderately warm there sometimes...

He needs to be racing , and to put some substance into the hype, Roczen hit GP's as soon as he was 15, and Prado needs to do the same IMO.

Racers need to race, or does he want to take the record for the longest ever 'saving myself for A1' ?

Jorge do not like training on the tracks of california, he says they are very smooth and tidy. How do the professionals to train in USA in a bumpy circuits or broken?

I saw him training at the rut track behind my house. I can tell you he was looking smooth and consistent and a very rough, rutted track.

Jorge lives in Lommel for a few years, is more cold than hot and before in Spain he lives in Lugo, Galicia, is north west Spain, a lot of rain and not hot, but some times he made some races around the Spanish country, very hot

Why is such a big deal made about getting suspension re-valved, A kit etc when there ain't a single bump on the tracks in SoCal?
When I was out there the tracks like Glen Helen and Cahuilla where the tracks are quite natural and hilly were pretty good and by the end of the day they were pretty beat up and gnarly. Places like Milestone and Pala though were really flat and tbh they weren't very enjoyable to ride. It always surprises me when I see riders testing at Pala for nationals.

He has finished a special year, a year that has earned a great title, always winning something important very, very special year, but this has been even more, take several years of misfortune with 85, with the that despite going very fast and well with it, you do not just get a major title, once for one thing and again by another, and the truth was a little frustrating, but hey, it has always been pulled spirits and looked forward, and in the end the journey with the 85 it has served to have a base as a pilot much stronger, so at the end of misfortune been able to take advantage, which certainly helped much, to get the title this season has been achieved in the last race, in a very tight and exciting championship a season with very brilliant, spectacular moments, but also some without flavors, has been a difficult season, with much effort and hard work, but achieving the ultimate goal was the European, an objective with which at first were not available, but the opportunity arose and Jorge has not left out, a phenomenon. Then it has been getting on the 250 and from the outset and goes like an airplane.
It was known in Europe and this title serves to secure it, the trip to the US has declared him even more, to the, already known that.
I just 2015, opens a new stage in this 2016, with renewed hopes and eager by all, so here we go !!

Im really excited for the EMX250 class next year.
Quite a few up and coming riders who are racing it. Will be interesting to see how there lap times fair against MX2.

A lot of people are forgetting how good Josiah Natzke is. Pushed Prado all year. What's he doing next year? Is he going EMX250 & with the Redbull KTM squad?

I haven't heard anything about Natzke. If he's still in Europe then he'll be on a 125, almost certain he isn't going to be in EMX250, at least not with KTM anyway

Edit- just looked on his Instagram, looks like he's in New Zealand at the minute riding a 250, so looks like he may be coming back for a season of EMX250

I hope he's coming back, kid is such a talent. EMX250 is stacked next year.

I met Jorge and his dad yesterday. Nice folks.

Talking with some of the TLD gang, they say that he picked up Supercross very quickly, and they think he has all the tools necessary to be a top prospect.

Josiah came back this year for sure. He's really comfy on the 250 and very smooth. He won all motos at the summercross race last weekend in MX2 and had a pretty good speed in MX1 against the 450's.

He raced also the Auckland champ in Dec at Pukekohe and the Battle of Taupo in Nov.

He will do few races in NZ before coming in Europe. I don't know if he will race all the NZ National because he wants to practice sand early to be ready to Valkenswaard.

Just saw his new vid on his facebook. This kid looks scary comfortable on a supercross track. He´s 14 and never ridden a proper sx track and takes the whoops like that!? insane
