I was being sarcastic in that post. I'd love to "choke" my way to second place.
I know, but I wasn't. Either way, it might work in Roczen's favor. If he wins it, good, because he obviously earned it. If he doesn't, maybe it'll motivate him even more for next year.

I like both these guys as they are riding incredible (although ken does seem to be letting the intense pressure get to him), but once the early announcement came out about a K-roc leaving the KTM team I must say it left left a sour taste in my mouth. European rider should be on the European bike and I would hate for him to win the number one plate on the KTM and take it over to the yellow team which i think is a huge mistake as the KTM's seem to be the class of the field just my 2 cents.

I hope Ken can pull it off somehow, he rode good in the first moto at Unadilla. I thought his only chance was to get back to strength in the break but it didnt seem so.
Still 2nd in his first season and 20 y/o (!) is amazing. Give him 2 more years and barring injuries he will be unstoppable for everybody but Eli Tomac

I too feel that Ken is finished. Clearly, his inability to win his rookie season title shows that he is nothing but a choke machine. He can take his possible second place finish ,in his first try, and fuck off back to Germany. Great post, op!
Wow, you better send the message to RC that "Ken is finished". I'm sure he'll appreciate the hot tip.

Wait a minute...you're kidding right? (wink wink) You almost had me!!! Good one!

I don't really think Ken is faltering. Tomac has been getting better since he returned and so has Canard. Dungey is always great at Washougal. At Unadilla, he was right there both motos. He's having a great rookie season. He has the POINTS LEAD with four motos to go. If I were thinking of awful titles for this thread, the one you chose would be first.

It's pretty simple really. Americans have this amazing ability to never stop fighting and are fueled by a raging fire that burns deep inside them that can not be defeated by anything. And in turn, Euros are soft.

Maybe Ken did hurt his thumb! Tweaked it a bit, you really got to 100% and on it to beat guys like Dungey, Tomac, and Canard! They are all insanely fast and tough! Just saying. Lol

I wouldn't say choke, but it just seems like unless KR is in front, he has somehow lost the fire to get up there. Don't get me wrong, I can only imagine what it must be like to have to chase and hunt down guys like Dungey, Tomac and Canard. What the roost coming out of the back of a works Honda at Unadilla would feel like. But if he wants this, he is going to have to find a way. There is never a question of Dungey's "grit," and I think that's what delivers this thing to him in the end.

Roczen peaked physically earlier in the season that is the sole reason some of his competitors are handing it to him.

Toss away all your analysis and speculation.

G-man you have to understand the industry and the sport, Motocross and every other form of racing is a business!!! In regards Ken Roczen he isn't racing to fall in loving with the motorcycle whether it is a KTM, Suzuki, or any other bike! He is in the sport to make money and win championships! As far as him going back to Suzuki, his major reason is that he had the most success on a Teka sponsored Suzuki in the MX2 Class in Europe.

What kind of goggles do you wear? Super Seer? (Old guys will get it.)

I'm not sure how you predict results on a track that none of the riders have ridden.
I'd like to order a carton of your goggles please sir. I'm then going to make a fortune in gambling.
