In what has seemed like a forgone conclusion since the end of the opening round in Hangtown, RCH / Soaring Eagle / Jimmy Johns / Suzuki’s Ken Roczen has regained the title of 450MX AMA Motocross Champion after winning it in 2014 and then losing it to Ryan Dungey in 2015. The German was dominant from start to finish, winning 18 of the 22 motos and eight out of ten of the overalls run so far in 2016.

Ken came into the 2016 Budds Creek National today with a 63-point lead and, after leading every lap today in Maryland, leaves with a 76-point lead and his second 450MX National Championship in hand. Congrats to the RCH team on becoming the first-ever privately funded team to win the premier class Motocross Championship, and of course a big congrats to Kenny Roczen. His resume just keeps getting closer to greatness.
