should , so I am here and I am going to try it out . I ’ m really looking forward to it and am lucky enough to have the full support of my Red Bull GasGas Factory Racing Team back home with Claudio and Davide de Carli , and the Troy Lee Designs / Red Bull / GasGas Factory Racing Team here in the USA behind me .” While the defending MXGP champ isn ’ t committing to the Supercross circuit full-time , even legends like Roger De Coster ( Director of Motorsports for KTM , Husqvarna and GasGas in North America ) think it will be exciting to see Prado switch to the tight turns of the SX track .
“ The main goal for Jorge in 2024 is to defend the world title he earned this past season , but of course we are excited to see what he can do on a Supercross track ,” says De Coster . “ We all know that he is very talented , given he ’ s already a multiple times Motocross World Champion , having won in MX2 and being the current MXGP Champion . However , we also know that Supercross at the highest level is extremely competitive and to race with the top here requires a lot of toughness besides talent , so this will be a huge challenge for him . We wish him the very best and are glad that with the support of TLD GasGas we are able to support his wishes to try Supercross !” Following his scheduled three-round appearance in the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship , Jorge will return to Europe and prepare for his MXGP World Championship defence , which will open at the MXGP of Patagonia-Argentina on March 10 , 2024 .
