Jorge Prado injury update: Intensifies training regime

Red Bull KTM’s Jorge Prado has been cleared by doctors to ‘step-up’ his training programme a month after surgery to fix a broken left femur caused by a training crash in Italy. The double MX2 world champion has still not set a date for a return to the saddle of his KTM 450 SX-F but can now cycle and work more on his gym programme for upper body strength.

“People are really impressed with the progress I am making,” the 19 year old said. “It was a pretty serious injury and a complicated operation, but the surgery could not have gone any better. I need to work as much as I can to build up the muscle strength again in my leg, that will be the main thing before I can think about the bike. I want it all to happen as soon as possible though because I really miss riding,” Prado stated.
