Jorge Prado's Brutal Message to MXGP

[@sled9263]

I really enjoy hearing Jorge Prado talk. Interesting, informative and seems intelligent. He’s going to be a great addition to the AMA!

[@daniellarsson3699]

Yeah, 16-22 people on the gate in the ''world championship'' is a disgrace.

[@donbrashsux]

The dude who has been incharge of the MxGP should get the boot he’s being there for way to long and is distroying it all

[@callummcintyre7602]

World (rich kid) championship is what’s it’s gone to they need to support more people from all walks of life and stop relying on rich kids paying there way into teams and that comes with support from the championship or the federation this isn’t football or boxing we’re anyone can get good. You need support

[@daniellarsson3699]

@@callummcintyre7602 Yes, 1200 dollars for entry fee is ridiculous ....

[@Creators_Crypto]

MxGP is so much changed because of the EUROPE politics... Belgium was full of tracks now only Lommel .... you need to go to Netherlands or France ... Both ( organisation and Politics)are killing the sport

[@daniellarsson3699]

@@Creators_Crypto I live in Sweden, my local track is closed and the enduro trail is barely used. I blame Greta Thunberg.

40 riders, pay start money, bring back Lierop, Namur, Valkensvaard( the old track). Make it cheaper for the Fans!!

[@Creators_Crypto]

I seen my first GP in Kester BEL Everts Bervoets Demaria .. Thx to my father ... I am 40 now .. seems so long ago

Calgary, Alberta, Canada needs an MXGP race. The Wildrose Motocross track sits in the heart of the city

[@GsJsG]

Bring them all to USA

[@joelfernando1]

FK USA!!

[@jemcee97]

You can tell the comment section are mostly AMA fans who have no clue about the GPs.. Yes the flyaway races don't have full grids but almost every other round does.. The tracks aren't trash (some are sure but some of the US tracks are as well) they're just not overgroomed chocolate cake every fucken round.. Most of the tracks are fucken epic MOTOCROSS tracks in incredible locations! with massively diverse conditions that can require completely different riding styles and bike setups, they don't even change the type of tyre in the states. Scoop for the starts job done! Saying all that I'd be much happier if the Luongo's weren't involved but it is what it is..

[@markcortis2348]

👍

[@chrisleniec9052]

So very sad to see how many of the GP tracks look identical nowadays, shovelled up jumps on some waste ground at the back of industrial estates or building sites, just a different country and as Prado says, miles from anywhere and very often less than 20 riders behind the gate is not a good look.

[@brianjacobs4185]

I was a mechanic for a MXGP rider during the 1981 season in the 250 class, when GP racing was at it’s pinnacle, it’s really sad to see what it has become, it all comes down to greedy promoters .

[@panicrev555]

They need a SXGP series, period.

[@kYnTso]

Thats what they are trying to do with WSX but its currently pretty much like a "Offseason" thing for the riders.

[@leerjet18]

@@kYnTso I think it will grow though, little by little.

[@AndrewYarrington]

@@leerjet18pretty expensive going to these different country’s with all there teams gear and bikes etc most teams need a lot of cash just to get to the races big American teams already spend all there money in the states so most can’t go , star, team Honda , kawi etc etc so have to see who gets the funding etc just to race

[@jemcee97]

Why? Not everyone wants to race SX (Or watch more than 8 or 9 rounds)

[@joelfernando1]

@@jemcee97 SX is for pussssys!

[@grahamholyfield8415]

We (ama) should be looking at asking existing promoters and track owners to do more than expand parking for campers. Track changes should be mandatory year to year. Nothing crazy but remove berms here, add them there. A few small re- routes. Rebuilding an uphill to not just be double doubles can create passing.. not hating on the status quo, but when he said the ama tracks were fun it’s because theyre new to him. Lets keep them new for everyone, riders, fans, analysts.. i really resonate with that comment.

[@iloveyourapplepie]

Prado is a prime example of a true athlete and world champion. Young, intellectual and wants to change the game to benefit everyone not just himself. He will be the GOAT in 30 years time at this rate.

[@troydavis4848]

Crazy to think a 10th place guy at a pro am in the US brings home more money than they do from the track.. Absolutely insane!

[@markcortis2348]

You really think that is the case,,,

[@Dan_Minton]

People need to realise that once upon a times people and families would go for a day out to watch all forms of racing just for a day out ...people don't do this anymore . There's been a huge decline in attendance for all forms of motorsport over the last 15 years. There's a reason for it and you are starring at it .

[@_frivolousteddy_5924]

It’s gonna be over for AMA riders when MXGP riders start coming over.

[@Ynot.LJ8]

Sure we will see when they come over who’s gonna run Sx and Mx 😂

[@Ynot.LJ8]

AMA just better but we knew this

[@2strokin70]

Maybe better than mxgp but still not good

[@torpedocyclonetom217]

Outdoors has a lot of problems. If they think production is a huge upgrade I bet it’s a wild place in Europe

[@jmribeiro91]

Prado is on point on this one, but there's also a detail that he mentioned that stuck with me: MXGP tracks are hard to race and that gives the riders some sort of higher ground when racing outdoors on the US. The tracks might not be fun and they lack public, but the riders that master them get so prepared to race everywhere else! (Unadilla example, around the 6min mark)

[@johankenens636]

You nailed it Jorge.

[@ricalava7747]

In Europe there are big problems for tracks with environmental laws. Many circuits are closing because they can not fight red tape and neighbours complaining about noise, after they built their house next to a racing circuit, and the local council denies permits for track improvements. 😢

[@merdith6]

So it is like California

[@KOM-jh]

How can our supercross and motocross tv coverage be poor when its so much more exciting than pickleball or cornhole!!! Ridiculous that these two if you want to call them sports have television coverage and dirtbikes don't. So F-ing aggravating!!!!

[@OtisFlint]

They have more viewership than MX. MX is a tiny sport, we're just unaware of it because it's our tiny sport.

[@danielreeves9613]

Even the commentary is boring in the GPS it like the hilights on transworld sport 20 years ago

[@theoandersson8382]

nah Paul Malin is great

[@danielreeves9613]

@theoandersson8382 does my head in don't get me wrong knows his stuff but rambles on lol

I disagree Paul is an OG that I wish was here. I think he is probably the best in moto period.

[@Papparratzi]

I can't quite make it out, but something about his persona reminds me of Dungey

[@louiedangelo3843]

The tracks are pure shit , too short and narrow where the gp guys can't even open up the throttle. Prado is right about the tracks being too slow there is no excitement watching the GPs .

[@KOM-jh]

Jorge, I hope will give Jett a run. I am a ET3 fan though but would like to see this kid win here.

[@sled9263]

I agree. 100% ET3 fan as well! Let’s go Eli!

This guy is fantasizing with the USA when he open up his eyes it will be to late...

[@pieterdejong150]

If KTM goes bankrupt… it’s probably done with MXGP too. Top riders of MXGP should consider moving to the US, in 27 it might all be over.

[@Webbwagon2]

Pumped for him to race Jett!

[@kevnotty4573]

For sure tracks are trash over there ... Like the VetMX National that Tommy Searle just did on the 2 smoker .. "Something Hill?" Was absolutely terrible ... 😢

[@jhall9936]

Like the Aussie championship joints dead at most rounds and riders get paid nothing

[@lauriehodgson4471]

It's a joke for sure 😏

[@derrickjamesfoxtrot1770]

Prado should gone to the states ages ago..

[@davidlever7404]

Here’s a marketing idea for Jorge. have Kawasaki /Monster paint the Prodo dam off the 91 freeway in so cal USA with your kit, You are Great ambassador for the sport. Also was much as we love the sound and roar of gas powered motocross bike, the quietness of e bikes will open up riding closer to dense populations.

[@merdith6]

The bottom line is it's too expensive nowdays. Europe is not in the best financial state.

[@markusr.2290]

Jorge is so right with the locations in the middle of nowhere. I see a world championship can not just take place in Europe. But if half of the teams cant affort or do not want to affort the travel costs and efforts what is the meaning of this. That could be done better

[@raycharles4699]

Someone should start a new world championship series. A motocross and supercross series to replace MXGP

[@mxfreaks]

Indoor supercross world championship like WSX?

[@kcinbnavi]

Some of the older tracks in Europe had a lot of steep hills. We lack that in the United States need more tracks with steep hills. They should bring Glenn Allen back in and I just worry about how much money they’re going to make from it to make things more exciting and that’s more exciting, but the fan is not so big because it’s harder to watch you have to go out in the woods and do it but the racing is much more exciting than motocross.

[@WDMX394]

Wasn’t there a race in 2020 or 2021 that only had like 8-12 riders in the mx2 class? It was a very small number I know that it was embarrassing!!

I don't think that after saying that they will let him run the world championship again, despite being champion. he is right

[@GaudencioFigueiredo]

I think the tv broadcast is still low quality, if they make it better a lot more people will be going to the tracks!

[@HotRodleo]

Mxgp video production perspective makes the riders seem slower too

[@eric6rock]

Kinda crazy the tides are flipping again just 4 - 6 years ago the American Scene was a Big Joke. The GP riders were decimating us in the past and could not live up to them. I’d say when the bar got a little higher was in 2022. Thanks to Tomac and Jett Lawrence raising the American Standard and ever since been on a recent up trend with older Generations staying later and keeping speed with the younger ones Team Switches, More off season Series, and Current/Prior Gens racing together were becoming the big Unit once again! 🇺🇸💪

[@skyflipz7642]

In the us you have stars, I barely know shit about motocross and am just becoming a fan, but I know who Jett is, I know who deegan is, and Ken roczen, and even though he’s getting older tomac, you have guys to cheer for or guys to wanna see loose depending on your perspective, I don’t think mxgp has that and it’s unfortunate, I think seriously they have some of if not the greatest riders in the world, I mean just look at what herlings did when he raced moto in the amas, it’s just that the track selection is shitty, it doesn’t get much coverage in the us, and it’s just not built up the way the amas are in the us, where I mean it’s damn near year round racing, you watch them in motocross, then super cross and smx, and it’s awesome, not to mention I think the amas allow for riders to show their personality more, I think if the gps did that it would be insane, but it’s gonna cost more

They have no idea? They gave a long list of things to change directly to Infront, and the promoters told them to stop complaining and they were getting nothing, so now they're going public.
