Spaniard Jorge Prado and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing will continue together in the United States for 2027 and beyond, extending their partnership as part of a renewed multi-year commitment.

Prado, 25, was reunited with KTM for this season following a single term at Kawasaki last year, and has been competitive throughout Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross on board the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION upon return.

The four-time world champion has achieved two 450SX podium results in Supercross, and has already stood on the 450MX podium twice across the first eight rounds of the outdoors. He is currently positioned third in the combined 450SMX standings in the SMX World Championship.

“I’m really happy to have re-signed with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, because we’ve had great past seasons winning in MXGP, and this past year was great in Supercross,” Prado commented, with KTM electing not to specify the duration of his new deal.

“We achieved some podiums, had a couple of heat race wins, and now we’ve been very strong outdoors, I’m just happy to be working with this great group of people for the future, so I am super-excited and hopeful that we can achieve our goals.”

Ian Harrison, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team manager, added: “We’re excited to have Jorge continue with KTM. Jorge and KTM have agreed to a contract extension, and our entire team is looking forward to seeing him continue to develop his Supercross and motocross skills here in the United States.

“We were all impressed by how quickly he adapted to Supercross in 2026. His confidence and speed, particularly through the whoops, stood out as one of his greatest strengths in one of the most demanding sections of the track.

“Jorge has shown tremendous willingness to learn, and we believe his best years are ahead of him. We’re looking forward to this next chapter, supporting him, and seeing his growth and success with KTM in the future.”

Prado first partnered with the Austrian manufacturer over a decade ago, making his full-time Red Bull KTM Factory Racing debut in the FIM Motocross World Championship in 2017. He went on to clinch a pair of MX2 titles in 2018 and 2019, followed by consecutive MXGP crowns in 2023-2024.
