Rumor: Jorge Prado could race the Motocross of Nations with KTM In the last few hours, several sources have reinforced the rumor that Jorge Prado might line up at the 2025 Motocross of Nations with KTM. Although nothing is official yet, reports suggest that the decision could be announced once the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) in the United States comes to an end. Such a move would have a major impact in the paddock, as Prado —a two-time MXGP World Champion and one of the most consistent riders in recent years— could return to KTM colors for such a prestigious event as the MXoN, where each nation brings its very best to chase glory. For now, we’ll have to wait and see if this rumor becomes reality or remains just another speculation in the final stretch of the season

They said I was too quick, too raw, too unpredictable. But the truth is… I was just being me. I wasn’t born to crawl through frames, I was born to run through them. Snooker wasn’t a game to me — it was freedom, it was escape, it was survival. From a boy with a cue in his hand, to a man standing under the lights of the Crucible, I only ever had one gear: full speed ahead. At 17, I won my first ranking title — a kid with a fearless heart, taking down men twice my age. They called me a prodigy, but really, I was just a lad chasing peace in the chaos of life. By 21, I had a World title. By 30, they were already whispering the word: legend. But legends don’t come easy. Behind the centuries and the titles were demons — pressure, mistakes, battles with myself. Yet every time I thought I was finished, the table called me back. They call me “The Rocket” — and not just for speed. For the fire. For the way I lit up the game, made it feel dangerous, electric, alive. I didn’t just win frames, I rewrote what snooker could be. Seven World Championships, eight Masters, eight UKs. 41 ranking titles. 1,200 centuries. 15 maximums. Numbers that will outlive me. But here’s the truth: the trophies are heavy, but it’s the moments that matter. The gasps when I clear the table in minutes. The silence before the final black. The roar when it drops. That’s why I play. That’s why I fight. At 40, people said my best years were behind me. At 47, I lifted my seventh World crown. And I thought: let them talk. Because I’m not just playing matches, I’m writing chapters in history. So if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: greatness isn’t about being perfect. It’s about daring to be yourself, every single shot. I played fast, I played free, I played with my soul. And that’s why, when the dust settles, they’ll remember me. Not just as a champion. Not just as a legend. But as Ronnie O’Sullivan — the Rocket who changed the game forever.”
