A 7-5 in paper isn’t anything to write home about for a rider as good as Jorge Prado but, for the first ten minutes of moto two, Prado looked more like himself, finally leading in America and setting a good pace. The pace didn’t last and eventually Prado would finish fifth but it was another learning day with Prado finally getting to feel what it is like out front in the States.
A more positive Prado said: “This was a step in the right direction for me. This week we did a lot of work on the bike, and we will keep building on that. I’ve been out riding on the East Coast and testing different things, and the team has been very supportive with making all the changes back in California. Being up front today was a very comfortable feeling for me. It helped me understand the bike more and the areas we can work on. I just need to keep training and testing, and I know we can be on the podium soon.”
After two weeks of seeing flashes of the real Jorge Prado, let’s hope the progress continues at Millville.
