Roczen is an absolute beast

Dude can barely train and he just pulled a 20 second gap. Thank god shittycross is over so we can see Ken's talent in all it's glory.

That first lap aggression and attacking is very 2016. Could be scary, let’s see how sick he really is.....

Daniel Blair called that last year..... I can't imagine anyone *with credibility* (ie, not a Vitard) going on record saying Eli 24-0 this year.

Someone behind a keyboard said something stupid on Vital? Shocking

I'm sorry I side tracked the OP's thread. Yeah, Roczen surprised me to be honest. After his struggles indoors I had written him off.

So happy for Roczen! I usually root for Tomac...but I’d really like to see Roczen win this title.

Tomac smoked everyone like they were going backwards. Ken faded as usual.

I’d say a Tomac was faster...and once Roczen realized that-after Tomac passed him back moto two-Ken started riding for the overall, rather than fade.

Next race will tell the tale on Kens fitness/health...if he gets smoked 2nd moto again with the overall not clinched...then something is up.

Tomac smoking everyone in a mud race?
I wonder what would have happened if certain GP riders were entered in this race.
Sorry, I still haven't forgotten how we got so embarrassingly spanked by GP riders in a mud race.

Except Kenny happened to win the moto that wasn't mud. If anything Tomac only won because of the mud, over the last year or two he's proven to be pretty good in the mud. Let's wait till next week to see, I don't think Tomac will beat Roczen in normal conditions.

A documentary should be done. He has the story, flash and looks.

I don’t know if it would be good for bike sales though.

Had never seen compartment syndrome until his IG. That was out there.

I would hardly call winning by a 20 sec margin, "lucky".

It's a hell of a lot easier to win the second moto by twenty seconds during a mud race when the guy behind you is going to take the overall and doesn't need to race you at all. Yes, very impressive.

But of course you knew that.

Love seeing Ken back where he belongs. But one moto and Eli can't beat him now? What?

It's just the bike setup once he figures the bike out he'll smoke em', just wait for outdoors.
But seriously great ride by Kenny, it's only the first round Eli will get wins.

Potentially we might see two euros take out both classes.
