Whenever he takes the start in a Motocross race, he must be considered one of the favorites for victory, and if he is also racing at home for the first time, even more so. The second round of the Spanish Championship is not one more, it takes place in Lugo, with Jorge Prado and in the circuit that bears his name, so The motivation of the man from Lugo is maximum and he demonstrated it on the first day of action by winning the qualifying round.
Prado was the fastest in the two sessions that were held on Saturday at MX Lugo. He began by setting the best time in training, yes, by the scant margin of one tenth over Rubén Fernández, also a Galician and World Cup driver. Later, the GasGas man did the same in the eleven-lap qualifying race in which he led José Butrón, leader of Nacional, by half a minute.
Fernández could not replicate the result of the morning after suffering a fall that left him sixth With his Honda, he will have the opportunity to redeem himself and try to fight against the local idol for the Elite-MX1 victories that take place on Sunday (11:20 and 14:00), although it will not be easy seeing how Prado is. In addition to being a favourite, he wants to be the best host and not fail an audience that, despite the cold and rain, will not hesitate to attend the event.
