It has been very quiet lately from the likable German rider, not unusual, but as we know he is hitting the track hard at the moment trying to be ready for Anaheim 1. As the long term followers of my blog and Supercross fans will know, Ken has come back from a life changing injury in which he almost lost his arm! The fact he is even riding is amazing but the reality that he is training to compete at the highest level is testament to his hard work and dedication.

Ken took to social media to break the silence and throw down some words of wisdom.

Ken Roczen

Factory HRC Honda

"All this talk about who’s side the momentum is on and people pretending like it is all layed out since one rider won a lot the year before he will win the championship. This guy won monster cup...ohh momentum is on his side... he is going to win the championship... ITS BULLSHIT. Stop acting like it is always all layed out. 2018 is a new year. I have won monster cup before and didn’t get the SX championship either. It DOESNT MATTER WHO WINS 3 months before the season even starts. i have ridden for a few months now and i have trained frikken hard. I am going to come out swinging in 2018 like nothing ever happened. End of the story. Whether it’s a win at A1 or not. 17 races is the series."

Pretty strong talk and i think a great sign that he is back to his best! I have always liked Roczen and things like this is why. He is a great role model for the sport and i wish him the best luck in the world for the upcoming Supercross series. Whatever the results he gets he will always be a winner in my eyes.
