SUPERCROSS MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD ROUND 15 / APRIL 23, 2016 GILLETTE STADIUM / FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS P46 K en Roczen accomplished what he had set out to do and that was to keep the 2016 450SX title chase going for at least one more round, thus keeping his title chance—albeit a very slim chance—alive. He really had only one option of doing so at the 15th round of the 17-round championship, and that was to win, which would prevent Ryan Dungey from clinching, and that's ex- actly what the RCH/Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John's Suzuki rider did, and he did it impressively. Roczen passed and beat points leader Dungey in both their heat and main events to prevent the Red Bull KTM rider from coming away with the crown. However, the win pretty much delays the inevitable. Instead of having to win to clinch the title like he had to do in Foxoborough, Dungy only has to finish 14th or better next week in New Jer- sey to officially claim his third (and second straight) NOT YET Another solid ride least one more round
