" He is a better version of everyone mixed in that has been in the history books.(GPs) ....Name it all, just name it all, he has it, he is smart, he uses his brains."
"He knows a lot what to do himself he doesn’t need much advice, but when we give him advice his listens, his ears are open. His big problem was sand but we made him a plan two years ago to get good in sand because the rest he had under control for sure. He followed this plan 100% and you see the results"

I mean, a 13 year old German kid goes all the way to the USA to race kids two years older than him at LL's and only places 10th! I doubt he's any faster now either.

Do you think this was posted, as DC stated, just to show how astonishing the kid has come n a year and a half or so?
impressive if you ask me.
Also shows how crazy LL's is as an amatuer.

"Do you know of any of the riders on the GP circuit?
Ken Roczen is the only guy I know. I raced him like three years ago at the Mini Os. I was like nine years old in the 85 7-to-11 class. He came over as a 12-year-old racing as an 11-year-old and I got to race him.
Did you beat him?
No. I got walked. I was schooled. I think I got third. I think it was him, Zach Bell and me.
But he had three years on you...
Yeah."

In 3 days he turns 16.
I was at the GP yesterday and there is no doubt in my mind that Roczen is the real deal.
Turns out that, as we know, Musquin is the real deal also (he knocked himself out a good 90s in front of me on saturday -very scary- and it was a miracle he saved those points on sunday (from such a bad gate pick too).
And Herlings... just unbelievable too.
Mark my words : there has not been such a power trio in the small GP division for... I'd say for as long as I can remember, I'm gonna leave it there.
But I was close to say "forever" !

a Year ago Rockzen came 2 Holland 2 race the DUTCH opener....
He got 18th Both motos
Behind some locals...
But that does not say S**T.
In the 100 days after Rockzen got 10 seconds faster.. he was 13 years old..
and the others.... They where still at the same paste...
I dont want 2 say HERLINGS is the fastest rider today.. But.. as U know Cairoli won from reed. while reed was the national champ...
Take a look at this...
I got these results from the website of Youthstream.
1st moto's
--- ---------------------------------TIME ----- LAPS--- FASTLAP
1 222 Cairoli, Antonio ITA KTM 40:47.473-- 20-- 1:54.070
1 111 Herlings, Jeffrey NED KTM 40:38.808-- 20-- 1:52.000

1 222 Cairoli, Antonio ITA KTM 39:16.455-- 19-- 1:54.984
in the Qualifing race the top 3 mx2 riders ran faster lap times than the mx1..
And musquin and herlings where the only 2 riders who ever ran a 1.46 that weekend.
I don't C barcia ridin faster than RV or Dungey
One has to wonder if we currently have any fifteen year-old American riders
capable of winning an AMA National and, which prompts the question - have we
EVER had a 15 year old "capable" of winning a National ?
I don't think even the great Bubba was, at 15 - at that level - was he ?
