Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450SX teammate Jorge Prado was also in fine form at Round 3, with the four-time world champion qualifying sixth before earning the holeshot on his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION and delivering a wire-to-wire victory in his Heat Race.

Starting outside the top-10 in the Main Event, the Spaniard put his head down and completed an impressive charge toward the checkered flag, executing a series of passes to finish seventh by race’s end. As a result, Prado is currently listed in P9 overall following three rounds to begin season 2026.

Jorge Prado: "Anaheim 2 was a positive night – I am very happy with my performance. Winning the Heat Race was good, and then I got cut off at the start of the Main Event, and I had to work through the pack from there. I came back to P7 and was very close to the top-five, so I like the rhythm I had, and the improvements that we made during the week, especially in my ability to come through the field. I'm also very happy with my bike, I think today was the best the bike has felt across the three rounds. There is still much to learn, although I think we are in a very good place right now, and I just can't wait for the next rounds – the team is doing a great job!"
