Ken Roczen is returning to the Motocross of Nations.
Team Germany confirmed on Friday that Roczen will race for the team at the upcoming MXoN at Ironman in October. He will be joined on the team by Simon Längenfelder (MX2) and Maximillian Spies (Open).
Roczen, who lead Germany to its only MXoN title in 2012, last raced at the event in 2023 in France, where he won the MXGP individual classification. He will race the MXGP class again in 2025.
“I am excited to be a part of Team Germany again for the 2025 Motocross of Nations. Obviously it is a super special event, you represent your country and it is also really cool to have it back in the USA here, close to my home. I am excited to race at Ironman. It is a really technical track. It will be good to line up with the MXGP guys and other racers from around the world once again. Hoping to do well, I will give it everything I have. I have great teammates and we have a strong team going into 2025, so let’s get it going,” said Roczen.
Team management statement For team managers Marcel Dornhöfer and Karsten Schneider, Roczen was the number one choice for the MXGP class. “We were in contact with Ken and his team constantly. He showed his interest to race for us early on, but just like him, we had to wait and see how his injury recovery progressed. Now we are even happier – the wait was worth it. With Ken, Simon and Maximilian we once again have a strong line-up that combines experience and fresh ambition,” said the team management.
