It was cool to see Ken Roczen line up in the 250cc class at the last round of the AMA Nationals which took place at Unadilla and considering it’s been years since he raced the 250cc class he did pretty good.

However, the German has revealed on social media that he didn’t feel to good going into the event and was suffering for energy but he didn’t want to pull out of the event.

Hopefully Roczen will have the issues sorted before the MXoN in October because if he’s in top form, Germany could be a real handful.

Roczen posted the following update on social media:

The good news is, I still know how to ride a dirt bike. The bad news is not for long.

I am having some difficulties with my energy system at the moment and I knew that going into last weekend but by no means did I want to pull out and sit on the couch. Nothing I haven’t dealt with before and I will get it under control.

I did not feel too hot even going into Unadilla but luckily I could manage as it was not hot there. Who knows I may be coming back some time in the future for a little redemption in the 250cc class.

I have already started working on myself as we know how and what to do and I am confident it’s all uphill from here. Thanks to everyone that made this happen it was awesome to see people come together and work themselves to the bones for me!
