After making the decision to leave his longtime sponsor, KTM, Ken Roczen & his new team have to prove themselves all over again in their pursuit of the 2015 Championship. Will this lead them to victory, or has he painted a bigger target on his back?
Ken Roczen is a gifted phenom who rides for the Rock and Roll of race teams, RCH. Ryan Dungey is a humble workhorse who rides for the clean cut KTM team. But their approach to preparing for a race could be the only difference that matters.
Track conditions in California are deteriorating, so Ken and Ryan both make the call to relocate their training to Florida. But not all is sunny in the Sunshine State. Ken’s trainer, Clint Friesen rejects excuses and tells him some harsh truths.
Ryan Dungey leads the point standing in the 2015 Lucas Oil Championship, but his fellow riders aren’t the only things he’s up against on race day. Fear, uncertainty, and other mental hurdles also play a part in his, and every rider’s, performance.
With Justin Barcia's win at Budds Creek putting him within striking distance of the podium, Ryan feels the pressure to stop his momentum. Meanwhile, Ken faces personal pressure, as his father leaves to cope with a family crisis back in Germany.
With the 2015 season heading into its final races, Ryan Dungey holds a narrow lead over Ken Roczen and Justin Barcia. But when rain hits Washougal and the track turns to mud, will that be the opening the chasers need to unseat him at the last moment?
