Well, looks like Jorge Prado is extending his stay in the US.
Following San Diego, Prado was supposed to return to Europe to defend his MXGP title. But, it looks like he will stay another weekend to race Anaheim 2.
Word is, Jorge wanted to race a dry race to get the real experience.
Stay tuned, as things are moving quickly on the Prado front.
UPDATE
GasGas confirmed on Saturday that Prado will race Anaheim 2 next weekend.
“Today was another good experience,” said Prado. “It was again not too easy after getting a bad start in the Main Event… I think the jump out of the gate was okay, but I got a lot of wheel spin, which sent me backward and meant I was one of the last to the first corner. My opening laps weren’t great, and then I got confused with the blue flags and let the riders who I was battling with by me, which was a pity. It is what it is, I can improve with my opening lap intensity, but I’m excited for three Main Events next weekend in the Triple Crown at A2 as I would like to at least be able to make one holeshot and enjoy that format of racing!”
