This new role marks a definitive shift in his career.
In a statement released alongside the announcement, Roczen expressed his excitement about the opportunity. “I’m extremely honored to take on this new role and lead this incredible team,” he said. “After spending so many years in the trenches as a rider, I’ve gained invaluable experience that I believe will help me guide the next generation of riders to success.

The team, which has enjoyed a legacy of success over the years, will now look to Roczen to continue its dominance in the sport. While many expected the team to hire a more traditional manager, Roczen’s appointment represents a new era for the squad—one that embraces innovation, insight from a former racer, and a forward-thinking approach to team dynamics.
Industry experts believe Roczen’s transition into the managerial role could have a profound impact on the team’s performance. By having someone who has been in the rider’s shoes, the team may gain a competitive edge in how they support and develop their athletes. Roczen’s firsthand experience with mental toughness, injury recovery, and the relentless work ethic required to succeed in the sport will provide the team with a unique perspective on how to navigate the highs and lows of motocross racing.
