Man,
I've always been a fan of Kenny's riding, the way he carries corner speed, standing up, and making everything look super smooth. Was stoked to see him get a few wins after the injuries as well.
But easily the coolest thing I've seen him do is SEND it over the leap, and casing it brutally. Here's a guy that makes mega bucks, could easily milk Honda for the remainder of his contract, or just back it down, tell himself "next week" or "Ferrandis will make a mistake".... But nope. CLEARLY uncomfortable with the jump, he just tucks in behind a facefull of AP's sand roost, squares it up, and goes for it.
I love his commitment to going for that jump right there. Every point counts, and I am super stoked that Kenny took a shot at it. Like ole Teddy Bear says... the credit belongs to the man who comes up short again and again, and if he fails does it while daring greatly.
That was a championship effort. Ken Roczen rode like a champion, and I effing loved it!
That dude just went from one of the guys I like to root for, to all time favourite.
Not the best points day, but if he wins this championship, it is EARNED.

Anyway, yes, I never forget that all those guys have XL titanium balls, but seeing someone almost wad up in the worst way and go right back after the same obstacle just hammers home a major reason they are out there and I am not.

On the OP's point you can clearly see the fire returning to Kenny this season. I think he is having fun on his dirtbike again. I just don't think he is one of those guys who can be miserable for a season( RV, DF14) and do well.
