Ken Roczen to Lead German MXoN Roster with Längenfelder and Nagl….see more
In early June, Ken Roczen was one of the six riders nominated for Team Germany for the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations. This morning, Roczen—as well as Simon Längenfelder and Max Nagl—was officially announced to the three-rider roster. Below is the full press release from the team.
Roczen suffered a wild crash and injuries to his knee and left foot at the Nashville Supercross, which ended his Monster Energy AMA Supercross season early. The #94 is making his return to the AMA Pro Motocross Championship this weekend at the Unadilla National.
The Motocross of Nations, or MXoN for short, is the most prestigious MX race of the year. The 77th edition of the Team World Championship will take place on October 5th and 6th at the British track in Matterley Basin, located about 200 km west of Dover. The DMSB-nominated Team Managers, Marcel Dornhöfer and Karsten Schneider, have been able to start planning for 2024 early and are confident that they have assembled the best possible team for this year’s MXoN from the six-man squad. Exciting news is the participation of superstar Ken Roczen in the MXGP class, where he won the Individual Rider title last year. “I am excited for another go at the Motocross of Nations. This one feels extra fun for me as Matterley Basin is one of my favorite tracks. I’m hoping for good teamwork with Simon and Max and an exciting weekend. If we can make smart choices and avoid making little mistakes, and of course the big mistakes too, I think we can have a shot at the podium! We have a really strong team and everyone has experience at MXON and at Matterley Basin. I’m really looking forward to the event this year,” smiles Roczen, who will race the #10 in the MXGP class.
