No Jorge Prado at 2021 MXoN
At MXoN 2021, there will be no Jorge Prado! Both Prado and Ruben Fernandez have opted out of the 2021 Motocross of Nations, leaving Team Spain in a significantly worse position than in previous seasons. Jose Butron (MXGP), Yago Martinez (MX2), and Ander Valentin (Open) will ride for Team Spain in Mantova, Italy, on September 25/26.
Butron is well-known among Grand Prix fans, although he is no longer the rider he once was. Butron is currently competing in a few FIM Motocross World Championship races, but his main focus is on the national championships in Spain and the Czech Republic. Butron’s last Grand Prix was in late July, when he finished 19-22 in the two motos.
Yago Martinez is making waves in the EMX250 class, where he is on the verge of a podium finish, but he is still quite new to the sport. Ander Valentin has competed in the Grand Prix for a long time, but he has struggled to secure consistent points. His most recent victory came at the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship’s last stop, when he finished sixteenth in a moto.
No Jorge Prado
It’s not surprising that there will be no Jorge Prado at the MXoN in 2021. When speaking to MX Vice at the recent Grand Prix in Latvia, he remained noncommittal, weighing the benefits and drawbacks. But it was made clearly obvious where his priorities lie. Third is the position that he currently occupies in the MXGP standings.
“We will come back stronger for Turkey. Our main goal is the world championship. We will decide if it is a good decision to race the ‘Nations or not later.”
In the 2019 Motocross of Nations, Team Spain finished ninth, with Jorge Prado, Iker Larranaga, and Carlos Campano represent them.
