Rode around in 8th place the whole time. He lost more points to Webb. Now 27 points down. Bummer.

I think he has probably fought so hard to come back so quick that when he got there his mind and body have just said too much. Maybe by outdoors he can start working his way back up front.

How much stock are we putting into the "hasn't reached the podium since Webb stole his lunch money in Arlington" thing?? On top of the Blake Savage stuff.,

Just an off race. He has been very consistent all year long.

I got all my eggs in that basket. He’s human, one should assume that it’s taking a toll.

I really think the mental aspect of injuries have finally caught up to him. Not to mention the fact his brother in law and good friend Blake savage got a spinal cord injury while riding with him. He has overcome so gnarly injuries and at some point, no matter how mentally strong you are, it gets in your head.

Also throw in the PR lady for Honda , her father just had a similar situation to Blake. But I think it was just an off night and weird track. Unfortunately I think the championship is over for everyone expect Red Bull ktm with Marvin winning.

KR almost lapped?? Riding 30 minutes around Osborne and Brayton??

There has to be something else we don't know. It's not like the guy forgot how to ride a motorcycle since 2 weeks ago.

In any other sport, the media would at least question Roczen, and Tomac, and figure out what’s going on...

Whether it did, or whether it didn't, how do you explain someone won? I mean, the track was as bad for the losers as it was the winners, right?

Has anyone thought that maybe it’s because he hasn’t done more than 5 rounds of supercross in row for over two years? Yes he should be expected to win but we are now in the dog days of SX and it’s a total grind to the finish. He’s made it clear several times he’s aiming to finish the season HEALTHY.

I agree with this. Having a close friend get seriously injured could possibly be bringing back up old feelings he went through the past few years. You can try to push that stuff to the back of your mind all you want, but if that approach worked military soldiers would not have PTSD (I’m not saying Ken has PTSD, but what he has gone through and what happened to his friend can be traumatizing to some extent). If that is the case I or someone else properly trained could fix it in about three sessions.

Roczen does not have it. He's a 5th-10th guy. He probably could run up front if he did not have all the injuries. Odds of him winning are not great.

Believe if he can finish top 3-5 in standings he may look at it as a win. And why not. This is the most supercross he has raced in a long time. If it’s the same situation and showing in outdoors. Not battling for win and running up front, might have see the best of KROC. Hope he turns it on and puts a showing like the ol Zuki days.

He's got great starts all year and hung in there until overtaken. Last night he got a bad start on a track with almost nothing to separate guys and that was that.

He’s run up front plenty this season and he will eventually run up front again. I bet he does well outdoors after making it through sx relatively healthy.

Trey Canard's injury was worse. It's mental and his brother-in-law's crash doesn't help.

Can't do that because if/when they start winning they wouldn't give that "reporter" interviews

When they briefly showed him it looked like someone else was riding his bike... stiff as hell.

Yes, but this is moto.... which evolves in a world of secrets, speculation, and mere guesses. At times, you would think this is a sport controlled by Vince McMahon. But, instead we get Feld and the AMA......much worse.

he was most consistant rider up till Daytona , last 2 races he lost some serious points in the title chase
looks like he is the first of the top 4 to drop out of this chase for a first SX title ...

maybe he gets lucky and still gets a win ..

now i hope he stays healthy and fit and im looking forward to see fit and healthy Roczen in outdoors
