hes a professional athlete
if he wants to fuck off and enjoy life he should quit racing and have a normal life and punch a clock 9-5 like the rest of us
KROC is vocal about his life.... you do not win races at this level, with this field, without training. Tomac has shifted to another gear.
Lets not forget Hangtown where KROC caught Tomac and left him.
And how he nearly lost the SX title with a similar performance in that heat race?
Seems Kenny can get more than a little deflated when things don't go his way.

Tomac is one of one favorite riders.... had he not knocked himself out and crashed while in first, he would had won the SX title. Coulda, woulda, shoulda......
I'm sure Roczen was hurting after those wrecks at SLC and Millville - but it not that badly because he rode later on in the day at both of those events, and well.
I'm not a hater, actually a big fan of Ken. But he has quit and pulled out at two critical times this year, and there are multiple accounts that his team was fucking pissed about it as well.
The simple fact is, Tomac is just riding better all round. He might have better ftiness, but he also has the confidence, the momentum, a fantastic bike under him and some really good line choices.
It amazes me the focus and drive of these guys at this age-they are only kids really.
Tomac was the equivalent of RV in lites yesterday, and I would be curious to compare all the lap times of the races together.
As I said it before, (As a CP fan I am still mad regarding CP's case, as so far we are all happy to see Dungey, Barcia & Canard), I think Tomac is the best 450 transfer since RV, RC or McGrath, remember his SX lap times this year.
The Great European Hope takes a SX Lites championship but gets smoked outside -- I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.
Let's stop reaching for excuses for the kid when it is so easy to be objective -- he is simply going slower than it takes to win.
The problem for Roczen is the upcoming Supercross nationals in Utah and Lake Elsinore. If Kenny can´t beat Tomac on GP-esque tracks, he certainly can´t beat him on flat outdoor supercross tracks. And yes, I don´t care if he is the 250SX champ.
I have no opinion or knowledge of how hard Roczen works. But it is worth to taking a look at his instagram account.
Regardless, I think yesterday was vastly more to do with Eli just plain riding better and Ken (perhaps partly due to the situation) riding tight and getting a little arm pump. We all know how debilitating that is. To me he looked sub par the whole race, at no point did he look to be flowing. And yes I also agree that some of his line choices looked poor in comparison. Perhaps "earlier in the year" Ken would've done a better job, or if he wasn't in such a points hole going in. But all in all you have to take your hat off to the way ET is riding. He's just too good right now for KR and he's created this situation through his shear speed.
Still a quality yr regardless for both riders of course.
Pit Row
Roczen's laptime ended up faster than Dungey,those times would've been good for 4th in the 450 class
He put up a fight for a while but Tomac's away right now,short memories seem to forget Kenny running him down and smokinig Eli earlier on,smashing into the Millville dirt might have rocked him pretty big,who knows,or it could be than a foreign land isn't going to suit him as well as nearer home?
Maybe he needs Stefan in his corner again,afterall he's made his intentions clear and soon straightened out a lesser experienced kid in Europe to greater effect
read my other post about Roczens 2nd race,clearly the 2nd best out there to Tomac,who's hit an extroadanary level right now-possibly pushing RV
I just hope, that if he loses the title he stays down one more year. Normally riders move up too slowly, but Roczen's young and pretty much has the title locked up next year - if he can re-gain the motivation he had at the start of the year.
I think he was told to say he knocked the wind out of himself in the pit interview so they couldn't hold him out of the second moto because of a concussion, just sayin'... Now excuse me while I polish my tin foil hat!
