In a bombshell announcement that has sent shockwaves through the motocross world, Ken Roczen, one of the most decorated and beloved riders in the sport’s history, has hinted that he may retire following the 2025 Supercross season. The German-born motocross star, who has captivated fans for over a decade with his fearless riding style and incredible comeback stories, revealed in an emotional statement that he is seriously considering stepping away from the sport after the next season.
“I’ve given my all, both on and off the track,” Roczen said in a heartfelt message posted on his social media earlier today. “Throughout my career, I’ve shared a lot of good and bad times with my fans, and I can’t thank them enough for their support. But the time is coming where I need to think about what’s next, and after the 2025 season, I may be ready to say goodbye to Supercross and Motocross.”
Roczen, 30, has been a dominant force in the world of motocross and Supercross since bursting onto the scene as a teenager. Known for his incredible speed, agility, and ability to recover from injuries that would sideline most athletes, Roczen’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. He has multiple Supercross victories, a World Motocross Championship title, and has been a fan favorite for his passionate pursuit of excellence. His thrilling battles with rivals like Eli Tomac and Cooper Webb have defined a generation of fans, making him one of the sport’s most iconic figures.
However, Roczen’s career has also been marked by adversity, especially with injuries that have plagued him over the years. He has undergone multiple surgeries, including significant shoulder and arm surgeries, which have sidelined him for lengthy periods. Despite these setbacks, Roczen has continued to fight through pain and prove his resilience, earning him a reputation not only for his talent but also for his unyielding determination.
“I’ve been through a lot in my career, and it hasn’t always been easy,” Roczen admitted. “There have been moments where I wasn’t sure if I’d come back from injuries, and times when I felt like I couldn’t go any further. But each time, the fans, the support of my team, and my own love for racing kept me going. Now, I have to ask myself what the next chapter is, and if I’m ready to close the door on Supercross.”
Roczen’s fans, who have supported him through the highs and lows, have been quick to react to the news. Social media has been flooded with messages of appreciation, gratitude, and hope for one final season from the fan-favorite rider. Many have expressed their desire to see Roczen end his career on a high note, potentially with a championship, while others have said they’ll continue to cheer for him, no matter his decision.
“I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m taking things one step at a time,” Roczen said in his post. “I want to make sure I leave it all out on the track in 2025 and give my fans the farewell they deserve. Whatever happens, I’ll always be grateful for the incredible ride.”
As the 2025 season approaches, eyes will be on Roczen, who is currently preparing for what could be his final year in the sport. With his legacy already cemented as one of motocross’s greats, the upcoming season will undoubtedly be one of the most emotional and anticipated in Supercross history.
