Webb Born in 1995.
Roczen Born in 1994.
Hardly kids.
Pfffft, sounds like Kindergarden train of thought ffs.
Huge Kenny fan here, btw but darn.
I would love to see an interview with Roger D, Hannah, RJ, McGrath, Carmichael or Villo look almost satisfied after a loss...
Your not going to find any, because Champs HATE loosing. They would have been throwing sh*t at the camera, censored beeps the whole way through.
Sorry Ken, but you only get so many chances to win SX Titles and you’re throwing them away too easily.
I would like to see some more killer instinct in Ken to, but i guess that he is happy with just being out there, and has done the best season so far in plenty of years.
He said he has to have more fun with his training!
It’s no surprise that all the winners come from ALDONS as it’s a proven system, so I wonder as fit as KR is he still doesn’t seem that fit at the end of races!
I keep thinking Honda and RedBull would make sure Kenny has Olympic level fitness but who knows?
How Kenny left KTM and ALDONS after winning an Outdoor 450 title in his rookie year and I think he came 3rd in SX in his rookie year I will never know!
Who the fuck was advising him????????
As legendary as KR has been I still feel he has left a lot of titles behind him!
I wonder with Kenny back at ALDONS could he get him an SX title??
I don’t think Kenny realises how close he is to the title and you never know if you will get another chance at it!
He can’t expect to win a title by super clean racing with no passing! It’s just not going to happen!
Every title has a battle for it!
No one is saying we want Kenny to absolutely put his life on the line, people just want Ken to battle with Webb and be aggressive if Webb tries to pass him!
If you count how many times Ken has let Webb past without any sort of fight this year he would be leading the championship by a long way!
He has lost his self confidence and until he gets it back I can’t see him battling and winning a title!!
It’s DF rookie year and Kenny has done 8 years!
This year and next year is Kenny best chance for a title!
Who know he may win an SX TITLE at 30 but you have to think his time is now and he is left it slips through his fingers!
If he loses this year hopefully it may make him so mad that he gets a lot better for next year!
Imagine he comes out next year aggressively block passing people and wins the title easily!!!
These are kids in my world. lol
Pit Row
Now GET OFF MY LAWN!!! lol
Not many in sport total like Niki Lauda or the skier Hermann Maier
Takes a very special inner strength
Another thing that holds Kenny back is late race fitness. He is much better this year, but i still see him fading or making crucial mistakes late in races that i think are partially due to fatigue. Outdoors, the lack of fitness is clear as day. In 2019 he had races where he had huge leads and then faded big time.
In mx he derinitely needs better fitness to win another title. In sx, the thing he has got to master is aggression and getting ugly. I dont see him winning a title unless he does. Webb will deny him every time.
One more thing.....it would benefit Roczen to learn to not mention "bent bars", points he thinks were unfairly lost, throwing hissy fits like the one he threw with Deano, saying "screwed by lappers", etc etc etc in his post race interviews. It would help his image and increase his popularity. Every rider experiences those challenges and its a regular part of racing. Sx fans know if a lapper messes it up for someone and wether or not it was their fault. We most likely know if a penalty deduction is warranted or not. We know a lapper unintentionally cost Sexton a win....or possible win. We saw it. No need to for Sexton to tell us about it and/or cry about it. He didn't, and everyone appreciated it. It gave me a newfound respect for him.
If Roczen can gain some more late race fitness and get aggressive (not dirty or sketchy), he can definatly win a title or two before retiring. If he can give up repeating things that we know occurred and mentioning how he "got screwed" by lappers/ama etc, he will gain fans and be more respected by non fans. Just my thoughts on Roczen.
We see Kenny’s flashes of brilliance and expect him to return to his previous form. If I’m him I’m pumped to be winning races and contending for championships. He almost lost it all. During his recovery he also watched his brother in law flip his own life upside down. There’s a lot happening there. And I’m sure a bunch more we don’t have a clue about. I hope he can win a championship but it seems unlikely with guys like AC and Chase.
Tomac destroyed both shoulders and came back not losing a bit of speed, won 3 outdoor titles after.
And I'm sure there are many other cases.
It was amazing for Roczen to come back from his injuries but at some point we have to stop blaming them every time he underperforms. He was unstoppable at the start of the season so his injuries obviously didn't affect him that much at that point.
