Watch Jorge Prado talk racing Jett Lawrence

The two most technical riders on the planet who are the closest in style to the legendary, Stefan Everts, will face off all year in 2025 – but will Prado have anything for Jett outdoors in his first year in the States and on a new bike?

Prado told Jase McAlpine: “I don’t know how good Jett is, I don’t know how good I am compared to them…if I feel good on the Kawi outdoors and I can ride like this year (in MXGP), I should be able to win.”

“Jet is a great rider, he rides the bike very good. I feel like fitness he’s also very strong. Right now he’s the best rider in USA so I’ll try to beat the best rider…

What do I think? I think I can, so now let’s see if I can do it or not! I feel I can do it, if someone can do it , it’s me. I have the good starts, good fitness, I can ride the bike fast too. I am curious to see, probably these tracks suit me better than MXGP, we will see. I feel like I am on a very good bike and hopefully I have a good feeling riding outdoors with it, so I don’t know…”
