Some of you guys watching the Denver race...what happened to Roczen? I’m watching the Twitter play-by-play, and his names not been mentioned. Is he a DNS? Did he crash out in a heat?

Thanks, man. They finally said his number at least. Looks like Baggett is coming for him.

Problems with the altitude? He really dropped anchor in that one.

Horrible start and a horrible performance! Didn't help the track sucked too! Team Honda has become a joke, when's the last the factory team won? Kenny needs a sports psychologist to recover fully from his injuries now.

Roczen seventh... Grant was 9th off the couch. Rough night for Honda and Roczen. There had to be something wrong?

Has roczen made a pass all year long? Bogle was ripping and moving forward, i do believe that Ken should be able to match a 2nd tier-fill in rider (no offence to bogle...)

While I agree to some extent, I think it's time to stop underestimating Bogle. We all know how good he can be when he's feeling it and it's becoming a trend that it takes him a long time to get the feel back after injuries. He's getting there now. I won't be surprised if he podiums before the end of the season

Not sure, but the last time I saw Kenny Roberts, he was spinning a few laps at Laguna Seca on his old championship winning YZR500. It was pretty sweet to see. Cool

My buddy who use to be bogles practice wrench said that bogle told him he was just trying to get through the SX season healthy and he’d turn it on towards the end. Looks like that’s what he’s doing

There is nothing wrong with KR. The other guys ride factory bikes and get paid too.

I was there, the track was tough. It looked like he was fighting the track a bit and couldn't find the flow. It looked like he was trying but wasn't enough to do more than what it did.

Kroc was coming up short on the finish line double and just didn't look as fast as he has has been the last few weeks.

He seemed to be getting better from his 'fatigue' issue the past couple of weeks...but maybe the high altitude exacerbated it. Only he knows for sure.

We finally have an off weekend. I m trying to get my body better in the next couple weeks. I have been struggling with certain things for the past couple months. It’s been really tough going to the races and feeling the way that i have been. We are slowly starting to figure out what’s going on. Things like this take a long time as well as fixing it doesn’t happen over night either. I haven’t talked much about it because that doesn’t make it any better on race day. When i get this fixed and get some consistency in my every day program we will be in a good position to start winning. I know it. It’s tough to get things better when you have an issue racing 15 weekends in a row. @honda_powersports_us @redbull @foxracing @canyon @stancesocks @breitling @goartofsport ? @uniform.gram

Doesn't sound good.

At least his visor has some screws in it now though.

Tick those boxes.

I hope he gets it figured out. He's really impressed me and drawn me in. You can just tell he'd be fun to hang out with. I hope he becomes an American citizen and agrees to represent America in the MXDN. That would be epic and a truly American story.

Bogle was also not in a good racing condition prior to getting this deal. Much like JG, he basically had no reason to get in shape as his outlook in 2019 didn't look good going into the year. Talked with his family in Dallas and they definitely felt like he had a lot of potential to reach with the KTM (JB felt like it fit his riding style better than the Zuk).

At the end of the day, it seems like most people forget that JB was taking the old style Zuk to its final wins in very impressive situations just two years ago. He is without a doubt in the upper echelon of guys out there and is a podium guy when testing, training, and confidence are all going his way. And we are starting to see that as his handicap in pulp is reflecting the improvement he's made this year.

I really miss seeing him on green (the Captain dayz). I root for him no matter what brand he's on though. I don't believe he has anything lined up for outdoors still which is a shame, especially if he does land a ride on a different color. Either way, I feel like Denver and Nashville (literally last to a top 10) were both great strides and showed that he is capable of being a strong #2 guy with enough preparation going into the season.

You know man...that's messed up. I'm not a huge Roczen fan, but obviously the guy has been going through something that has kept him from riding up to par. Kenny is a monster when he's "on", and everybody knows that. I give the guy kudos for at least being transparent on social media to his fans...not like most riders who hide injuries and what they're going through so as not to reveal their weakness. I sure don't see that as making excuses...I just see a guy who knows he should be up there each week struggling.

Roczen is great and everything but I don't like that idea. Natural born citizens for any country only. In fact they should change the rule to that imo.

I think KR94 should just chill out and try to ride controlled and not get hurt for the rest of SX. Don't fall into the trap of wanting that win too badly.

He will be a real threat to Eli outdoors and if he gets through 2019 healthy watch out in 2020. It may be his year.

I think he's riding like a man who knows that one more bad get off would mean the end of his career. Those several races this year that he nearly won but couldn't close the deal had to cut the heart out of him. Huge props to him for risking it anyway but that kind of thing has to play on your mind. I hate to say it but I think he sees the window closing.

He’s gonna kill it outdoors. He’s been very fast this season just a bit inconsistent (illness as he’s mentioned a few times)
