Roczen OUT of the MX of Nations!

Ken Roczen will not compete for Germany at the Motocross of Nations in France at the end of September.

Roczen will take time off to fix a back injury that has hampered his disappointing 2015 season in a bid to get himself back on top form in time for the 2016 supercross series.

It is a bitter blow for the German team who, with Max Nagl, Roczen and youngster Henri Jacobi would have been a podium threat.

The team have drafted in Dennis Ullrich to replace Roczen and join up with Nagl and Jacobi.
