PRADO Easily the most dominant rider in the world right now, the Spanish teenager has won all but one MX2 overall this year. With old KTM stablemates Jeffrey Herlings and Antonio Cairoli out with injuries for most of the season, his stock is rising quickly. It needs to, because according to FIM rules, the two-time MX2 Champion has to move up to MXGP in 2020, despite being just 18 years old.
FACCIOTTI Colton calls it a career up in Canada by clinching his sixth Canadian National Motocross Championship, walking off the northern stage with one more championship than his friend and mentor Jean-Sebastien Roy.
KAWASAKI Team Green sweeps both the 250 and 450 Classes in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross with Eli Tomac and Adam Cianciarulo. But at Loretta Lynn’s, where they were once dominant, Team Green was held to five class titles, only one of which was in a premier division, and not a single one on minicycles. Hopefully their professional success will trickle back down to youth and amateur racing.
NATIONS TEAMS A spate of late-season injuries has affected several Motocross of Nations teams before they even got down to business, as France lost mainstay Romain Febvre with a broken femur, the British may have lost both Max Anstie and Ben Watson, and Australia can’t call on Hunter Lawrence after he injured his knee. Oh, and Canada announced they’re not even going due to infighting with the CMA. Sorry, Facciotti fans.
