"The holeshot championship was
the only thing left I could get, so I

performance so far.
Just how impressive was he?

After the race, Ken Roczen announced that he will be moving
to the big bikes, and he says he's
70% sure he'll be on a 450 and
30% chance it will be on a 350.
"I'm ready to do some damage in
the big-bike class," said Roczen.
