ArlingtonMonster Energy AMA Supercross Championship
With Ken Roczen sitting 19 points out of the lead in the Monster Energy Supercross Championship, fans everywhere are thinking “if only Tampa.” If it weren’t for that race where Roczen got tangled with a lapper and derailed his chain, finishing 21st, Kenny could be right in the mix with Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton for the championship.
Of course that is how championships go, there are plenty of riders, like Eli Tomac and the Lawrence brothers, who could say “If only I didn’t get hurt.” Considering that, Kenny is in a better spot. He’s still healthy and capable. Ken has been on the podium five times in seven rounds, just as many as Webb, and one more than Sexton. He is riding better than he has in years, consistently putting himself towards the front, even on his off nights, as he said in the post-race press conference:
“I wanna go back and definitely work on some things, but at the same time, I’m not gonna spin in circles and try to reinvent the wheel. I’m just gonna stick to the program and just be happy and confident and comfortable on the bike.” -Ken Roczen
