Monster Energy Kawasaki confirmed on Wednesday that Jorge Prado will miss round 4 of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship this Saturday in Glendale.
The multi-time World Champion sustained a dislocated shoulder in 450SX qualifying last Saturday at Anaheim 2 after he over jumped in a rhythm section and crashed over a berm and into a safety net.
“I overjumped the quad a little bit in qualifying and went into the berm,” he said in a Kawasaki press release. “I tried to grab the net on the edge of the berm because I didn’t have anywhere else to go, and as soon as I grabbed it I felt my shoulder pop out. It’s a shame because it was not a big crash just a little mistake on my part, but I couldn’t avoid it. My shoulder was popped back into place 30 seconds later and it’s feeling good now, not very painful. I need to sit out and rest and see how my shoulder feels after today and evaluate from there.”
In his first full-time season in the U.S. Prado went 14-12 at the opening two rounds and is currently 15th in points.
We caught up with Prado prior to Anaheim 2 and he talked about the adjustment to Supercross and more.
