Prado, De Wolf Again In Italy
R
ound three of the 2024 FIM
Motocross World Champion-
ship took place in Sardegna,
Italy, April 6-7. High tempera-
tures and grueling conditions
saw the championship points
leaders each take their third
win of the season. Jorge Prado
and Kay de Wolf claimed their re-
spective overall wins to maintain
a three-for-three record in the
2024 campaign.
Jorge Prado is on a roll. The
Red Bull GasGas rider won the
Saturday qualifying race before
taking control of Sunday's moto
one. Prado moved to the lead
early on lap one and while Tim
Gajser kept him in sight, the
reigning champ never relin-
quished the top spot. He struck
first with a win over Gajser in
second and Jeffery Herlings in
third.
Prado again took the holeshot
in race two with Herlings closely
in tow. The current number-one
had another suspenseful race
on his hands as Herlings stalked
in second until lap nine when he
tucked the front end of his KTM
and hit the deck. This mistake
allowed Prado to run away
untouched as he swept the day
with 1-1 moto scores. Gajser
took third with a pair of seconds
and Herlings landed third with
3-3.
"I'm feeling great with the
bike," said Prado. "I feel good
physically and have been train
-
ing super hard. Everything is
going great right now! I got two
good starts in both motos and
made no mistakes. I controlled
the race and just tried to push
until the other riders couldn't
hold on anymore. It was just
about that—the track was so
physical! I'm happy to win here
in the sand again. It has been a
long time since I got an overall
win in the sand. I've come close
a few times, but after today I
WIND
IN THE
P50
Jorge Prado won again.
This time at the MXGP of
Sardegna in Italy.
