KEN ROCZEN : 450 SX / SECOND PLACE
three. Hitting the series of triples and quad(s) through the far rhythm section, everything would be going according to plan. Pushing the pace until he had a substantial gap, it was a solid win for Roczen, as he looked forward to the main event. Sixth place off the start, he would then begin to work his way up ever so steadily. Railing the ruts with very little dabbling of the inside leg, he was focused on riding mistake free, rather than getting out of control in this mud-ridden layout. He found Justin Barcia early, and would latch onto the back of the Yamaha rider, making sure to stay just out of the radius of his roost. Looking to penetrate into the top three, a position would be gained on Malcolm Stewart’s misfortune. He would then only trail Barcia, and by all means, you could tell he wanted victory. But a voice of composure would overtake him, telling him to make due with the ride he had. An exceptional sec- ond place would then be where he would place, finishing runner-up in the overall standings.
