Jorge Prado confirmed last Sunday at the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha the renewal of the category’s world title, and admitted that he didn’t think so little, at the beginning of the year, that he might be able to achieve it.
At the end of the stage in Spain, the GASGAS rider did not hide his happiness for the achievement, and admitted that it was not in his plans, at the beginning of the season, to achieve such a feat:
– I almost don’t know what to say – I’ve got the title here in Spain, and it’s just incredible! It’s been a great year, and I think the team and I truly deserve this title after all the work we’ve put in. At the start of the season, I never imagined being in this position, but everything just clicked. That second moto felt super long, but crossing the finish line was the best feeling.
The path to the title was not easy, with Prado remaining in the hunt for a long time, and «only» in the round in Shanghai, the penultimate in the championship, did he regain the lead: ‘So much goes on behind the scenes with the team to get results like this, and I’m so grateful to take home my fourth world title here in front of family, friends, and fans. Thank you to everyone for the amazing support – it’s been an awesome year, and I’m proud we did it together!’
