Roczen: Every weekend is a straight suffer fest

Ken Roczen says he is using his health issues this season to make himself “mentally bulletproof” for 2020.

The German says being so tired during the race sucks, explaining: “I have never had to suffer this much on a weekly basis.” Before adding, “ it will be nice to race being 100% healthy.”

However the ultra talented German was still able to go 2-3 at Washougal for second overall and is currently third in the championship.

2nd and 3rd for 2nd overall last weekend in Washougal. I was pretty happy with that weekend considering how my finishes have been lately. Every weekend is just a straight suffer fest for me but i look at it as getting mentally BULLETPROOF for next year already. I have never had to suffer this much before on a weekly basis. Does it suck getting miserably tired every single weekend early in the race !? Yeah it does, but i embrace that stuff instead of letting my self get down on it and bitch about it non stop. It will be nice to race being 100% healthy 😏 @honda_powersports_us @redbull @foxracing @canyon @stancesocks @breitling @goartofsport @thefamilie.v2 📸 @emeryphoto
