He sure did, congratulations. I believe that's his first 1-1 since that gnarly injury.

When he is on, he the closest we get to Stew. When every other top guy in the sport beats guys you can visually see what they are doing with Kenny it’s almost like thanks for playing now get out of my way I’m on a diffrerent level. Nobody rides the bike the way he does. Scrubs diffrerent than everyone, keeps his feet on the pegs like Everts but also has an aggerison to him when he wants to flip the switch. Glad to see this, his best MX race since Millville 2016.

Best part he did not fade, pretty sure he kept lap times faster then Marv and Eli late in the race

He sure is, but some people won’t give Ken credit. That’s was the point of my post!

No they won't. They'll say Roczen didn't manage his very well. Would you rather have a 1-1 at Unadilla or the title?

So say that instead of saying something completely different.

No one was beating Ken today. He was absolutely unreal. But it’s funny because not many people “hate” on Ken. He’s one of the most loved dudes on the starting line.

That guy is awesome in so many ways. Even if you dont like him you have to admire anyone who could come back from the injury he had

Was hoping he wouldn't fade towards the end of the race. He kept his lap times through out the race as well as the end of both motos.. Very impressive win & wishing him the best on the last 2 races remaining.

Was just looking at the overall points and motos for the year. Man KR is going to regret that stretch from moto 2 at Florida through Southwick and Redbud. But hey, all we need here is a Tomac DNF and both Marvin and Kenny are still right in this. Stranger things have happened (Canard 2010).

He my dude! What he does on opening laps when he is “on” is just incredible, passing at will.

No one on the planet I'd rather see win. He's a walking testimonial to the transformative power of grit.

Ken is amazing and his bike setup is just incredible. Mostly the suspension. He just goes over the ruts like on top of them like they are not even there. Like skating on top of them.

Don’t know if that’s extremely stiff suspension or what. Whatever it is they have that suspension just dialed for his style.


Other riders it bounces up and down and he rides through them without hardly any push down which allows him to get up to speed quickly.


That whip he threw down scared the crap out of me. That was a little much. It was badass but seemed risky.

The qualifying session whip? He looked right over at us standing in front of the grandstands. I could have gone home right then and been happy.

Yeah. They showed on tv. I believe it was the qualifying session one but not sure. Actually it might of been the first moto win whip.

First time I think he’s looked like his Suzuki championship year. He made it look effortless, just cruising all the way to a 1-1 finish, making aggressive and quick passes in the opening laps.

Cool to look at the differences in style between when someone is “on”. When Kenny is on, it doesn’t even look like he’s trying, but when someone like Barcia, for example, is on... It’s almost more exciting to watch because he is all over the bike and you can tell he’s giving it all. Ken is just very calculated and smooth. Congrats to Kenny, that was awesome!

Roczen in second moto was running 2:18 lap times others running 2:21 top. 3 second faster. That’s incredible. His power on that Honda was incredible. Watching on tv it was like a rocket ship.
