Ken Roczen has made a triumphant return to the start gate at the 2025 Unadilla National, marking his first appearance since the AMA Supercross round in Pittsburgh this past April. After being sidelined for the final two rounds of Supercross due to ankle and shoulder injuries, Roczen’s comeback is one of the most anticipated stories of the Pro Motocross season.
The fan-favorite rider confirmed his return earlier this week with a bold and confident social media post, stating: *“I’ve missed the grind, the gate drops, and the roar of the fans. I’m back, and I’m ready to fight.”* The announcement ignited excitement across the motocross community, as Roczen has consistently been a top contender when healthy. His absence left a noticeable gap in the competitive field, and his return brings both intensity and star power to the outdoor series.
Unadilla, known for its rough terrain and historic battles, is a fitting venue for Roczen’s comeback. The track’s demanding layout will be a true test of his physical readiness after months of recovery and rehab. Still, Roczen is no stranger to adversity. Throughout his career, he has overcome a string of injuries and setbacks, repeatedly proving his resilience and determination.
Teaming up once again with the HEP Suzuki team, Roczen brings not only experience but also the kind of raw speed and racecraft that makes him a serious threat, even after time away from competition. While questions remain about how close to 100% he truly is, one thing is clear—Ken Roczen isn’t just back to ride. He’s back to win.
All eyes are now on Unadilla to see whether the German rider can once again rise to the occasion and remind the field exactly why he’s one of the most talented riders of his generation.
