Motocross Ken Roczen not riding in des nations

[Mord Fustang]

According to LeBig USA. Pretty weird, why wouldn't he go ride for team Germany? They could've had a really strong team because Max Nagl will be back at the next GP. 

[MediumDriver]

Not surprised. 

[Shhhh]

Not surprised.

Yep....

[phantom451]

he is getting back surgery the second dunge points him out of a chance.

I don't know the MXGP scene but is there bitterness when a rider leaves to live and race year round in the U.S.? I'd guess yes.

Not with the riders or country men, but yes among the GP loyalist.

French fans don't like pourcel and musquin but they love chumps like Paulin, Ferrandis, and Tixier

The French are weird,  they love Viewlaman, but hate Moosecan, go figure.

My guess is Kenny needs rehab time more than race time.   RCH has enough problems without having KR get injured in a race that doesn't sell bikes as well as an AMA title.

Haven't a couple top riders gotten hurt riding the Euro supercross pre-season races?   

I hope Kenny can make a full recovery and entertain us in 2016.

May be but he is fast enough for a German team in any case.

 

German fans are not amused to say the least.......

No Dungey, no Roczen, Nagl won't be 100%, Euro boys are all busted up. Will Cairoli be back?

Shit..... We may have a chance this year even with Webb on a 450!

we still have the chance to keep the podium streak alive but i think the french are 2 strong for us since Webb will be on a 450.

Seriously, Vuillemin is sort of a jerk, and stuck up as hell. I don't like the guy, although it is true for some reason everybody in France goes drools over Paulin.

Kenny needs to stay here and figure his shit out

I heard Langston say Marvin is racing the Des Nations

I'm interested to see two things.

1) How a healthy Martin does against the Euros on their track.

2) Webb on a 450.

BamBam will do just fine I think. He'll be ready.

He doesn't care anymore. He's got a ride next year so he needs to catch up on his couch time

Seems like he does better on the soft dirt tracks.  Not the hard baked west tracks.

Marvin hated it too. Pourcel knows he needs to be good everywhere though, hopefully his fitness keeps getting better. At least he can actually sweat now haha
