Jorge Prado, the reigning MXGP World Champion and fan favorite, has officially made his return to the motocross scene following a brief but impactful absence due to injury. The Spanish rider, known for his precision, speed, and technical prowess, was sidelined earlier this season after sustaining a shoulder injury during training. Now, after weeks of recovery and rehabilitation, Prado is back on the bike—and more determined than ever.
Prado’s return couldn’t have come at a more critical time. As the MXGP season ramps up, the intensity on the track is only growing stronger. His absence was felt not only by his team, Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing, but by fans worldwide who have been eagerly awaiting updates on his condition. Over the past few weeks, social media buzzed with speculation about his recovery progress, and now those questions have been answered with his surprise appearance at the latest round of the championship.
“It feels amazing to be back,” Prado shared in a brief post-race interview. “Being off the bike was tough, but I stayed focused and worked hard with my team to get back to full fitness. I missed racing, the fans, and the adrenaline of competition.”
The Spanish rider didn’t just return—he returned strong. Though understandably cautious in the first few laps, Prado quickly found his rhythm and began to remind everyone why he’s one of the top contenders in the sport. His signature smooth style and sharp cornering were on full display, giving fans plenty to cheer about.
Team manager Davide de Carli expressed his confidence in Prado’s comeback. “We’re incredibly proud of Jorge. He’s shown resilience, patience, and professionalism throughout this recovery. Seeing him back on the bike, smiling, and performing well is everything we hoped for.”
Prado’s return also comes at a pivotal point in the championship standings. While he dropped a few positions during his time away, there’s still plenty of season left to make up ground. With several rounds remaining, the title race remains wide open—and with Prado back in the mix, it’s guaranteed to be an exciting battle to the finish.
Aside from the physical recovery, Prado also spoke about the mental challenges of injury. “You start questioning things—when you’ll ride again, if you’ll come back at the same level. But I had the right people around me. My team, my family, my fans—they all kept me motivated.”
His return was met with standing ovations from fans and fellow riders alike, many of whom recognize the grit it takes to bounce back mid-season. If Sunday’s performance was any indication, Jorge Prado is far from finished—and may be just getting started on another championship push.
As the MXGP season continues, all eyes will be on Prado to see how he stacks up in the coming races. One thing is certain: the champion is back, and the fight for the top just got a lot more interesting.
