Yeah he should retire, not making top 10, the last time Roczen had outdoors speed was when Obama was president and all that stuff. People that say that stuff shouldn't call themselves moto fans. Kenny is in and we already get the best moto of the season..

That's hilarious how that comment played out, but damn, I really do hate to see it. And yep besides the kicker, the Suzuki did itself proud.

What a bad dude Kenny is, super fast and style as awesome as always, unlucky but great effort and thanks for the great racing 👍

Really sucks for Ken. He deserved to finish on the podium. Minor bobble to go down not too different from Jett earlier. Difference is Jett could get going immediately. Ken couldn't.

All I could think was how bad it looked for Suzuki watching Ken struggle to start his bike. Which is a shame because his bike was flying and definitely good enough to win.

I hope this isn’t too stupid of a question.

Can a mechanic install/convert to  an electric start on a bike that does not come this way? This moto didn’t cost Ken too much but if this was the WSX Championship it could be devastating

You said it all.

It's been months I've been wondering what would happen if Roczen had to start the bike after a crash during a race, hot engine, pressure...

I guess I got the answer I expected.

Agreed, just some all around fun irony. Kenny did amazing for 2 days of moto

A lesser difference is that Jett went down and had more time to catch back up. If Kenny had an e-start there wouldn't have been as much time to make a difference.

Great ride by KR! Bummer it ended that way…. Anyone who ever raced an early Yzf can certainly relate to this ending😂

He was so exhausted he could not even kick it. Good ride though.

Shut the fuel off and pull in the hot start and it would fire up 2nd kick every time 🤣.

These simps wouldn't know a mx racer if it was planted in their scrotum. Vital dorks are growing in numbers. Crazy town is the next stop folks.
