After a convincing win in the first main event with a 10 second lead over second the Monster Million looked to be Kens biggest competitor. We all know that ET3 is a true grinder and a force to be wrecked with, he also hates 2nd place more than any rider out and he wanted to show everyone that they’re some kinks in the fox armour of Ken Roczen. It was a spectacular scene in race two, the fans got what they came for as the top riders where 1 and 2 in the field and just when you would think Ken would pull away from Tomac, the Kawasaki rider would hold his own and match Roczens speed, did Eli put enough pressure on Ken to
force a mistake or was it just a bad line choice? Ken overjumped the first obstacle of the rhythmI section across directly below the blazing crowd, the new Honda pilot attempted the next triple and came up a touch short, forcing him to get bent out of shape on the final triple, his bike nose dived in the air and luckily Roczen was able to jump off the bike the optimal time and landed on the back side of the landing. In the blink of an eye Kenny lost his chance at the monster million and handed the overall to Tomac. I am sure that the German could have easily called it a night and his team more than likely opted to that scenario but Ken has a true passion for dirt bikes and came out in the final race of the night and bounced back like nothing happened, no he didn’t win by 10 seconds like he did in race one but he came away with the W, further proving his legacy.
