Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado claimed a well-earned fourth-place result at Round 12 of the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship in St. Louis, on a night where 450SX teammate Eli Tomac finished sixth to remain firmly in title contention with the red plate. The St. Jude Love Moto Stop Cancer race headlined the 12th Round of the SMX World Championship in Missouri, where the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team ran special one-off graphics in support of the cause. Equipped with the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, Prado posted the fifth-fastest combined qualifying time inside The Dome at America’s Center – highlighted by P1 in the opening session – with the four-time world champion then powering to fourth in his Heat Race. Completing the opening lap of the Main Event in second position, the 25-year-old would then make a pass for the race lead before settling back into P2 after a heated exchange at the front of the field. Battling for the podium on a deteriorating circuit, Prado eventually took an impressive P4 finish, which marks his third top-five score of the 2026 season. Jorge Prado: “St. Louis was a very good day for me and I saw a lot of improvements. Qualifying was really good to be P5 overall entering the night show, and then I had a solid Heat Race, also. We didn't have the best start, but my flow was good, and I felt fast at the end. I was able to brake late off the start in the Main Event as I lined up a little more outside, which helped me a lot, and we were P2 out of the first corner. It was a hectic couple of laps from there with a lot of passes – I even got in the lead at one stage – and it was nice to be up there and showing my wheel. I lost some rhythm when we hit lapped riders and the track went away a lot – the sections I was doing in the first 10 minutes were completely different from what I was doing in the last 10 minutes, which was gnarly. We finished P4 and I think we can be very happy with that as a team." Two-time 450SX champion Tomac entered the 12th round with the series leader's red plate, qualifying seventh aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION before recording a P5 finish in his Heat Race, and a direct entry to the night’s Main Event. The 33-year-old completed the opening lap of the Main Event in the top-five and maintained a consistent pace throughout, ultimately crossing the finish line in P6 and scoring an important haul of points. Tonight's result keeps Tomac on top of the standings, now the joint red plate-holder with five rounds remaining in Supercross. Eli Tomac: “It was a tougher day for us at St. Louis, but the good thing is that we didn't lose too many points and we are still tied for the lead. I'm looking forward to the last five races, and doing what we can to get back up on top." Next Race: April 11 – Nashville, Tennessee Results 450SX Class – St. Louis 1. Ken Roczen (Suzuki) 2.
