Beautifully said. I can't remember the last time I got goosebumps or felt this emotional from a damn supercross race. Completely deserved and hard earned from one of the toughest fighters I've ever seen out there. We are lucky to have such an amazing group of genuinely good authentic people at the top end of the sport we all love these days. Amazing role models for the kids (and the adults too).

The Ken Roczen story is an amazing one.

I just come on here to post that. 

Holy crap what an ad, what a story. None of us will ever truly appreciate the dark times this man and his family have been through to get to this point. Congratulations Roczen family. 

Great job Fox. Seriously.

That was just a topper on one of the most incredible (and emotional) nights in SX/MX history.

What a way for Kenny to finish off his night by watching that video tribute, what an incredible story and what an incredible wife and family.

True to say that behind each great man is a great lady, be it wife, mother or both.

One thing I noticed was she gave everyone from team Honda a hug BEFORE she got to Kenny!

That was great to see that everyone was so happy for Ken. 

Lars, Roger, and the other team mechanics all congratulating him really shows Ken's reputation as a good guy. He clearly never burnt any bridges with past teams.

Even Hunter seemed genuinely happy for Ken.

Absolutely.. I don't wanna jump on the fire Bondo stuff haha but I feel like instead of showing the German fans and Kenny's family in the stands, a better moment would've been showing all the riders ride past and give Kenny a congrats cause it seemed like they all did..

Reminded me of when Rossi lost that last world title after all the Marquez drama and the camera on his tank looking back showed him on the warm down lap every rider came past and patted him on the back.. says a lot about the character of both of them

I believe Ken met Courtney through her brother Blake who was Kenny's trainer.

RCH when I remember that interview from years ago correctly (or even a segment they showed at SX back then). 

Edit: Nevermind, found the segment where it said they met in 2014, so neither RCH or Honda I guess 😅

It was an absolutely beautiful moment, but I did a massive cringe as they started announcing it. I was REALLY worried it was a made-for-TV, forced sincerity thing.

Im relieved it was so lovingly done!!!

Also makes you wonder what they had prepared for Hunter, if he had won.

That came later Ed. Courtney was working at Wasserman, which was Kenny’s agency.
