Ken Roczen has signed a $245 million deal to leave Suzuki for Ducati. However, if such a move were to happen, it would be one of the most shocking and lucrative deals in motocross and Supercross history.
Ken Roczen, a German motocross and Supercross star, has had a storied career with various manufacturers, including Honda, Suzuki, and KTM. In recent years, he has been riding for HEP Motorsports Suzuki in the AMA Supercross and World Supercross Championship (WSX). His departure from Suzuki for Ducati would mark a major shift, as Ducati is primarily known for its road racing dominance in MotoGP and WorldSBK rather than off-road competition.
If Ducati is truly entering the Supercross or motocross scene, signing Roczen would be a massive statement. Roczen’s experience, talent, and fan following would help Ducati establish itself in the off-road world, much like they have in MotoGP, where they currently dominate. A $245 million deal would be unprecedented in motocross, far exceeding any previous contracts in the sport.
While Ducati has shown interest in off-road racing, there is no official confirmation of this deal. Until an announcement is made by Roczen, Ducati, or a credible source, this remains speculation. If true, it would shake up the entire motocross and Supercross landscape, making Ducati an instant contender. Fans and industry insiders will be watching closely for any developments.
