His presence provides stability for the team as they work toward championship contention in 2025 and beyond.
“I’m excited to keep this journey going with Suzuki,” Roczen said in a statement. “We’ve made great progress, and I feel at home with the team. This extension allows us to keep building and pushing for wins and championships.”
The announcement is a major boost for Suzuki, reaffirming their commitment to high-level competition in Supercross and Motocross. With Roczen leading the charge, the team aims to continue improving and contending for titles. Fans can expect to see Roczen battling at the front of the pack well into the 2026 season.
