In May 2023, Ken Roczen, the renowned German professional motocross rider, made a bold announcement about his future in the sport. The two-time motocross world champion revealed his commitment to the World Supercross Championship (WSX) for the next three years, signaling a shift in his career focus from traditional AMA Supercross to the international stage.
Roczen, who had already proven his skills and competitiveness in both the AMA Supercross and motocross series, emphasized his intention to specialize in supercross and elevate the sport globally. “For supercross to grow as a sport around the world, I think it’s really important that more riders focus solely on the discipline,” he stated. His decision to commit to the WSX series reflects his desire to push the boundaries of his career while helping supercross gain more international recognition and appeal.
The move also came after Roczen’s successful run in previous supercross events, including his 2022 season where he finished strongly in the AMA Supercross series. However, the WSX offered him a new opportunity to compete in a global championship, which he believes will broaden the reach of the sport and give fans a new level of excitement.
By committing to the WSX, Roczen is not only securing his place in a growing global championship but also positioning himself as one of the sport’s leading figures. His dedication to the series also aligns with his long-term goals of promoting supercross across the world.
Roczen’s announcement was met with excitement from fans and fellow riders, who see his presence in the WSX as a significant boost for the championship. As Roczen continues to develop his legacy, his focus on supercross represents the next chapter in a storied career.
