Prado Wins 2024 MXGP World Championship
30 9월 2024
SCOTT athlete Jorge Prado claimed the 2024 FIM Motocross World Motocross Championship at the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha over the weekend. For the twenty-three-year-old Spaniard, from Lugo, it is the second world title in a row in the top category, and he is now four-time world champion, with the titles won in MX2 in 2018 and 2019.
The sheer speed of Prado into the first corner of race one was once more nothing short of breath-taking, and he crossed the Holeshot line on the exit with around five bike lengths on the next rider, Jeremy Seewer.
Prado had the crowd fully behind him all the way to the chequered flag in the final race, and the celebrations continued long into the night! His 49th career GP win levels him with Gajser, and he becomes the first back-to-back MXGP World Champion since the Slovenian’s successful title defence of 2020. It was a good day to be a Spanish Motocross fan in Cozar!
“This is just unbelievable like at the beginning of the season I wouldn't imagine to be sitting in this position right now and I was just enjoying it so much that second race was so long it just didn't end. So much work goes behind this and all the fans came over they were supporting every single lap of every race and this is amazing to see this. Amazing to feel in that atmosphere over there when I was in the party and just unbelievably grateful to get the world title over here in Spain with my fans with my family my friends with everyone. Just thank you everyone, it's been an awesome year again!.” Jorge Prado
