Jorge Prado Voted Best Rider Sponsored by Athena at the MXGP of Patagonia-Argentina

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 13 March 2023 – The 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship sees the return of the exciting competition, the Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena.
During the season fans will have the opportunity to vote at each Grand Prix and decide who becomes the 'Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena' in MXGP
Votes are counted at the end of every Grand Prix, with the ‘Best Rider of the GP’ being chosen during each event of 2023. The rider who is voted the most times by our MXGP fans as the best rider, will ultimately receive the final prize and become the ‘Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena’ at the end of the year!
How to vote:
Every Grand Prix Sunday a dedicated post is shared on MXGP’s official Instagram page under which fans can comment who their favourite rider of the weekend is. This competition is only for MXGP riders and the voting closes at 8pm on Sunday.
The comments are then counted and the rider with the most votes is chosen as the best rider of that GP.
At the MXGP of Patagonia-Argentina, RedBull GasGas Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado was voted as the Best Rider of the Grand Prix after receiving 35.6% of the votes ahead of RedBull KTM Factory Racing’s Jeffrey Helings who received 19.1% of the votes and Team HRC’s Ruben Fernandez levelled with Standing Construct Honda MXGP’s Pauls Jonass both on 8.2%.
The Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena competition will conclude at the MXGP of Great Britain where we will officially crown the champions of 2023!
