Ken Roczen on: AP Crash, Japan | Interview

Progressive Insurance Cycle Gear ECSTAR Suzuki's Ken Roczen has been overshadowed in Indianapolis' Triple Crown, as his dominant ride in the first main event has been forgotten in all of the drama that ensued later on in the race program. Roczen had his time to discuss that, however, in this candid chat with Vital MX's Lewis Phillips at Lucas Oil Stadium. Not only did Roczen discuss his race one victory, but he also dissected the collision with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Aaron Plessinger and how Indianapolis was somehow 'harder' than seasons past. There is some healthy discussion about Japan's involvement in Suzuki's SMX World Championship effort and what 2027 could hold. This conversation was first published next to interviews with Justin Cooper, Jorge Prado, Malcolm Stewart, Christian Craig, Ian Harrison, Lars Lindstrom and Daxton Bennick on audio platforms.
