Jorge Prado’s Future in Limbo Amid SuperMotocross Playoffs Absence
Jorge Prado’s absence from the SuperMotocross Playoffs has sparked speculation regarding his future in the sport. Currently under contract with Monster Energy Kawasaki, Prado’s disappointing season has fueled discussions about the end of his tenure with the team. Reports indicate that both Monster Energy and Kawasaki are unwilling to let him exit his multi-year contract without complications, complicating potential moves.
Red Bull KTM had initially targeted a 450cc slot for Tom Vialle, who has opted to return to MXGP with Honda HRC. This shift raises the question: could Prado fill that vacancy? However, the ongoing contractual entanglements with Monster Energy and Kawasaki are proving to be a significant hurdle.
Another avenue for Prado has emerged, focusing on Team Tedder, which has successfully raced KTMs with Monster sponsorship. Motorsport analyst Steve Matthes noted this potential opportunity earlier this week, suggesting a viable pathway for Prado to continue racing with KTM while maintaining his Monster Energy affiliation.
As the situation develops, Prado’s future remains uncertain, with several factors at play in the complex dynamics of team contracts and sponsorships within the motorsports landscape.
