It took nine rounds and eighteen motos, but the wait for reigning MX2 Champion Ken Roczen is finally over. Roczen captured his first career moto win in the United States in moto one at Unadilla. After a couple heart-breaking defeats late in motos, including last week at Southwick, Roczen was never challenged down the stretch en route to his captivating win.
For the second straight week GEICO Honda rookie Zach Bell was able to grab the early lead over Roczen and Blake Baggett. But for the second straight week Bell threw it away with an early crash. Bell would rebound to finish eighth in the first moto.
From there it was the Ken Roczen show. Roczen’s teammate, Marvin Musquin, quickly moved around Baggett and GEICO Honda’s Justin Bogle to move into second but never posed a threat to Roczen. Musquin would finish second behind his Red Bull KTM teammate.
Baggett finished third, but got more help from Justin Barcia in the championship chase as Barcia finished a disappointing seventh. The Rockstar Energy Suzuki duo of Blake Wharton and Jason Anderson would round out the top five.
