Big news ahead of round one of the 2025 SuperMotocross Playoffs as Kawasaki announced Jorge Prado will not compete in the final three Playoff rounds. Prado finished sixth overall in the AMA Pro Motocross championship after recovering from a shoulder injury sustained at the Anaheim 2 Supercross.
“Following his first Pro Motocross Championship campaign and placing sixth overall, Jorge Prado and Kawasaki mutually decided that he will not participate in the upcoming SuperMotocross Playoff rounds,” the team announced via Instagram. “Monster Energy Kawasaki will attend Charlotte this weekend in support of Kawasaki Team Green riders Enzo Temmerman and Vincent Wey as they compete in the SMX Next World All-Stars Class in Charlotte and St. Louis.”
With Prado out and Jason Anderson skipping the rest of the racing season, Kawasaki will have no factory 450’s on track for the final three Playoff rounds. Its also worth noting that Prado was not picked to race for Team Spain in the upcoming Motocross of Nations despite the race taking place in America.
