Press release available only in original language.
Prado, who hails from Lugo, Spain, has excelled this season with the Red Bull KTM Factory #racing Team. The KTM racer took his first red plate at round 14 of the series in the Czech Republic and went on to maintain his lead while amassing 12 overall victories plus five podium finishes to claim the championship title. KTM has won 30 of the 40 MX2 motos this year, with Prado’s main competitor having been the outgoing FIM MX2 Motocross World Champion, teammate and runner-up in the series, Pauls Jonass.
Both men have shown great sportsmanship throughout a tense year as they battled for the title, and with Jonass’ announcement that he would not race at the season finale due to injury, Prado, who had a significant lead in the standings, was announced as champion prior to the start of the weekend. The KTM star has gone down in the history books by adding his name to a long line of champions aboard the KTM 250 SX-F, and as the first Spanish rider ever to win a FIM Motocross World Championship in one of the principle classes. Prado celebrated in style with the entire Red Bull KTM Factory #racingTeam during the race in Italy by taking his fourth 1-1 finish of the year.KTM concludes an outstanding season in the FIM Motocross World Championship.

Herlings was crowned champion at the penultimate round of the series and closed off a memorable season by taking his 84th Grand Prix win and eighth consecutive 1-1 victory in Imola.
