  • Check out A 16 Year Old Ken Roczen Take On The World! In 2009 Ken Roczen Started racing MXGP in the MX2 class at the age of only 15 years old where he won his first ever MXGP at the MXGP of Germany. Unfortunately theres a lack of footage which is why we are covering his 2nd year racing in MXGP. In 2010 the now 16 year old Ken Roczen established himslef as one of the top dogs as he battled with defending MX2 Champ Marvin Musquin and up and comer Jeffrey Herlings. Musquin would defend his title but Roczen showed he was every bit as good going 1-1 at the last two MXGP's. To cap of a great year in Europe Roczen raced the Motocross of Nations and was battling for the win in the 2nd Moto. Kenny showed that he was the next big thing in Motocross and Supercross, and history would now prove that. Dont miss the action, This is A 16 Year Old Ken Roczen Takes On The World. #KenRoczen #MXGP #Supercross

    Oh the Suzuki days. Ken rode wide open aggressive back in those days. I think he got a little too conservative after the injuries. But he is still amazing rider. 94 flows

      Equipment Coordinator if you watch him though he still rides basically the same? He never forces himself to pass and not aggressively taking out people to make the pass, he does it cleanly, thats just KR? Is that bad to be clean rider especially after his injuries ?

      @@buffetline2605 I agree, although some ppl including myself think he should be much more aggressive especially when it comes to Webb and take him out ? Do you know how many more wins he would have ?

      Herlings has passed him , no doubt . Both are the best of their era , so true .
      one went AMA as he wanted to race SX , other stayed at MXGP and won 5 world titles and 99 GPs and still counting
