RCH Suzuki RM-Z450 rider Ken Roczen had a hard-hitting night and left the fourth race of the 2015 Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM World Championship, bruised and battered but ultimately, none too worse for the wear.
Roczen who was the points leader heading into round four of the series got a great jump out of the gate to start the main event and was solidly inside the top three for the opening circuits. But after setting up and making the pass for second on two-time 450SX champion Chad Reed, the 20-year-old German rider misjudged the same triple as Tickle, landing on the face of the jump and taking himself out of any chance for the win.
Shaken but not broken, Roczen picked up his Suzuki, finished the race and earned a respectable 16th-place finish.
