Come on, man. Seems you’ve been around long enough to know better.
Two things…. First…this is the first thing I have heard from Kenny since A1. No post race interviews…nothing. So this is a strange first thing to hear. Second…maybe he touched a nerve because Kenny heard some truth he doesn’t like to hear but knows it’s a little true. You don’t have to be a pro racer to observe some stuff during a race. Anyone here that watched the race that didn’t think Kenny was pretty hesitant around Barcia? Kenny put himself on the outside of that turn. He had clearance to take the tight inside….so….either put him down going by, props to Jason, or don’t even think about leaving a sliver of light on the inside. btw…I am cheering for Kenny big time to kick ass on yellow. Doesn’t mean we can’t bench race here…otherwise…why are we here? On yea…to pick on Vince but he hasn’t raced yet so….but soon….get a rope!
Just keep watching.....soon he will start blaming the bike and/or random illnesses or both. He is riding well IMO, but the last few seasons show us as soon as he gets scared/frustrated it's never within his control.

Somebody needs to log on to IG and tell Kroc the vitards had a pow wow about his IG response post and he needs to come over here and read up on all the sage wisdom in the thread so he can start winning at life!
vitards on their top american riders like barcia or anderson when they cant behave on and off track for one single season: Ok.
vitards on europeans saying their opinion out loud:
Kenny is 100% entitled to reply, but a simple "thanks for the pro-tip" would have sent a similar message without coming across like a douche.
And FWIW, Kenny 100% needs to stop pussyfooting around Bam. Only way a bully stops is when you punch him in the mouth. Can't let fear of a possible unprovoked attack or even retribution put a ceiling on your results. Bam hasn't messed with Eli since Eli gave him the business.
All I know is if I were a professional racer...especially a top tier rider in today's world I wouldn't look at or especially respond to the internet bull shit in any capacity. Everybody has an opinion and all that crap. Course I'm an old dude but still...
That is a very strange defenition of what a sarcastic comeback is. I read and sense zero sarcasm in that post from Roczen.
If you’re a public figure don’t read the comments
I detected a bit of self loathing.
Because he knows he rolled over and sat behind barcia.
Too bad.
Robbed us from perhaps seeing a decent battle between Roczen and Chase for the podium.
Cringe level 1000
Plot twist: It was actually Webb's trolling account.
If that was true it wouldn't shock me in the least!
Social media . . .
Something like this occurred to me as well that it would be kind of a brilliant move for a rider to have an antagonist account of their own. Sort of like an Andy Kaufman /Tony Clifton persona. Basically just logs in and rips on himself and then tells himself to go fuck off and stuff like that could be hilarious.
Irate responses on social media will never favor the professional athlete/celebrity/well known person.
The guy who instigated it will be forgotten rather quickly. There are no shortages of random Joes willing to make a comment online towards athletes. When the next random Joe comment rolls around, Ken will add another douchey notch in his belt. Nobody forgets when Ken pipes off.
If I'm a professional athlete (I'm a random Joe) my social media presence would either be (A) non existent or (
Posting non bias commentary on my performance and interacting with actual fans. I would never address condescending criticism from an internet rando or air any kind of dirty laundry.
Having said that, Supercross is a form of entertainment to me, and when Roczen goes off, it's entertaining.
This.
Dude is a multi-millionaire with major sponsorships and those sponsors surely expect a certain presence online. What KR does is NOT what your sponsors want.
Hire a social media expert to post cool clips and make simple race reports. KR shouldn't even have access to the IG account, frankly. He clearly gets triggered by negative comments and they can't help his very fragile psyche.
Pit Row
I remember (5?) years ago Tomac getting heated at someone on IG when they told him to sort out his starts. There was a Thread about it.
He should've went the Kevin Durant or Antonio Brown route and made a burner account to defend himself. Older people who say just stay off social media don't understand how it is a huge part of a lot of younger people's life's. As stupid as it seems to older people, it is and isn't going anywhere any time soon.
Like him or hate him, for the level he's at, he keeps it pretty punk rock. I haven't agreed with everything he's said over the years but the dude is one of the best in the world and he isn't afraid to be a regular human being. I dig that.
Also, dude just got 4th (behind BamBam who rode super well/consistently that entire main). This is on a brand new bike with like a month of testing and people are talking about he isn't happy or needs to work on his suspension...fuckme...
If his results are poor because of the bike, he chose that direction. Nobody else. And he also chose to read IG remarks from people that do not matter.
But his results aren't poor IMO. Is 4th a horrible result on a new bike, a Suzuki of all bikes, that a lot of people are convinced is horrible?
Seth, I’m sorry, but…the people have spoken. Kenny needs to hang it up. Yup. 4th, obviously, is NOT good enough!
Some of these people are taking crazy pills!
That IG post didn’t seem outta line to me. It’s better to finish the series than have sporadically good results sprinkled with crashes and injuries. Seems to me he’s racing to be in the series at the end rather than on a couch… kind of like a lot of his fans want him to.
Hey, If he reads the comments on IG, he probably visits Vital too!
Hi Kenny, I'm your biggest fan!!!

You know you're probably right .... he'd make a great vitard . Join us Kenny !
I'm surprised everyone in here is ignoring the fact that profeshenal was once a basketball star and possibly played in the NBA if he was such a thing. Mark that as something I would have never expected.
His results are definitely not poor and damn impressive considering the time on the bike. I do find it strange we haven't seen one interview at either race and with him completely changing direction on suspension says he is not happy......firing off on IG also shows that.
I would just roll my eyes and laugh.
