He has led the title race all year

He's had two races where he hasn't been at the front BUT STILL GETS A PODIUM

He says he has an injured thumb

Is he toast?

Are you for real?

The drop off starting at Buffs Creek has been bizarre. Hopefully this 2 week break helps him out

Yeah he's for real you mutt. Roczen has faded the 2nd half of the season the last two years they had a stat on it before the 1st moto. It's now only a 14 point lead so yeah he's for real.

X2. The Roczen fanboy's really don't have a leg to stand on. Last week he had no reason to race Eli they said. He had a comfortable points leads and this was his title to lose. Well he had all the reasons in the world to race Tomac this week and all we saw was him give up 10 points in one weekend. The Dunge is battle tested and is gonna be there every moto from here out. Unadilla is gonna be huge. Eli absolutely ruins that track and I don't see anyone beating him there. Ryan also doesn't run that great there so if Roczen is gonna stop the bleeding he needs to do it there.

A 14 point lead is still a 14 point lead you pair of soft lads

Now, unless you are directly connected to KR or his immediate team then you're talking shit.

Swallow, and move on.

Oh and I don't care what RC said, isn't he the same guy that was slating KR year in year and now he is hiring him? Hmmmm. Integrity right there, goat or not.

And I'd be saying the same regardless of who was holding the plate.

I use the term fanboy when it comes to KRoc's follower's loosely, by way. KRoc seems like a great kid and his fans aren't the hyper d-bag's some of the other riders can are. Cough *Stewart* Cough! How do you explain him folding like a lawn hair though when the racing gets tough, hot, down and dirty? Is he a Bradshaw 2.0? I think it could really be devastating if he doesn't bring this home. Especially going forward and having to face the fucking beast that is Eli Tomac. Every week, a little by little, he let's Kenny know "If I was here all year you wouldn't have that red plate."

I guess I should take back what I said about his fans not being D-bags, huh Jamie? No big deal Kenny just got bitchslapped straight up for the 2nd week in a row. I'm sure he's not losing any confidence at all. SMH

He's held the plate all year, it's going to be hard if he loses it yes but let's remember it's his first year on the 450, against a stacked field, and everybody started this season knowing that.

There's no saying Eli would have had him, that's stupid talk, but hey if it helps then take it, FFS in all reality Tomac hasn't been at the front since the move to the big class.

Maybe, just maybe, Ken is flagging, but if so at least it's now, maybe, just maybe the reason Eli has been stronger the last two weeks is because he hasn't been there all year, running the series, owning the plate.....maybe that's just too hard for you to accept.

I expect at Unadilla we will see a resurgent Racer in 94.

Either way we have had ONE of the touted rookies enter the 450 class and run it, the rest......well.

Look Jamie I actually respect the hell out of Kenny and was rooting him on in person at Red Bud...but...he has a history of doing what appears to be happening and for two weeks straight he doesn't have much fight in him.

I actually said KRoc's fans weren't the biggest d-bag's, no need to try so hard and prove me wrong. It's just bench racing. The need for name calling and personal attacks aside, do your eyes really tell you he's managing the title chase. From winning or getting second every moto to getting yarded? BUT, he's still on the podium. I just think he's not making it easy on himself and if the gap is only a couple points at the last race, for sure I'm betting on the Dunge. His mental toughness has been proven over and over

Is it possible he could have been riding with an injured thumb? Would make it harder to hold on.

My oh my..... if KROC does not win every race he is a head case. He is racing the best in world - give his competition some respect. Furthermore, he has a weekend to regroup and reset. He is in a the best position of all these riders.

Well possibly because of the way Eli dominated krock at the end of last season and is doing currently. Let's be fair to Eli. Many have been questioning whether he could get it done on the big bike. He was fairly seriously injured in the first SX race of the year and hasn't really been 100% until recently. From his very first race in Tennessee, he has proven to be among the top 3 or 4 riders. I really like Kenny and could care less that he is European. He is one of the top riders in the world and I love to see him race, but I believe that Eli has proven to be his equal. Motox has to be one of if not the most challenging sports physically and emotionally there is. I for one appreciate all these guys. I have my favorites like everyone. I just don't get all the bashing.

If you were to ask any of the top guys whether or not they would like a 14 pt lead at the end of July they would probably say fuck yes. Kenny is still good and even though I am a Dungey fan, Kenny is a class kid who has been amazing this season and if he can hang on to win I say good on him.

Tomac isnt as exhausted as him because he didn't race half the number of races roczen did since January.
Also he's 2 years younger than tomac...

It isn't the result itself were worried about, it's the way he's getting them. The Roczen at Washougal wasn't the same Roczen the first half of the year.

He's fighting hard through an injury and still getting on the podium. That's "for real" enough for most people.

To answer the OP, I don't think he's toast but he is in trouble. That's pretty hard to deny imo. As above the results aren't bad - it's more along the lines of how he's "looked" that I think has us KR fans concerned. Again, as in the race thread yesterday, imo the heat got to him at Budds and he's feeling off colour from that. The two week break will hopefully do wonders.

Was he a "rookie" last year when it happened to him in the 250 class?

If he is alittle cooked the next 2 weeks will be incredibly important to him on what he and Aldon do. Personally if I was him I would take a week off, allow for recovery, adaptation from the load so far and let any small injuries heal while mentally taking a break from the day in day out routine. Then the next week I would get back on the program.

I am just worried that if they decide to train harder the next 2 weeks it will backfire on him totally.

My 2c, not that it matters.
