MXGP invasion in America?


Jorge Prado is the latest rider moving from MXGP to the USA for 2025 and the Coenen brothers are next in line with very candid comments on their ambitions for the USA – maybe as soon as 2026.

Kay de Wolf is currently in the USA riding some supercross but has already confirmed to be back in MX2 defending his world title in 2025 – but who knows what lies ahead. De Wolf certainly has a decision to make in the near future MXGP or AMA.

But, a rider who may just be joining Jorge Prado in the US in 2025 is, Mikkel Haarup, who aged out of MX2 this year with a strong fifth place in the MX2 championship and podiums on the Triumph, but he has been linked with Club MX Yamaha next season, Triumph USA, as well as HEP Suzuki and Star Racing Yamaha.
