“To My Suzuki Family – A New Beginning”
by Ken Roczen
“I’ve raced through triumphs and trials, injuries and victories, and in every chapter of my journey, the people around me have made all the difference. Today, I want to take a moment to write this letter – not as a press statement, but as a sincere message from the heart – to the entire Suzuki family.
When I first signed with Suzuki years ago, it was a leap of faith. Many thought the yellow bike couldn’t compete at the top anymore. But what people didn’t see was the heart behind this team – the passion, the resilience, and the belief in something bigger. Together, we proved that legacy isn’t just about wins; it’s about pushing forward when no one believes you can.
As I officially return to compete in more rounds this season, I want to say: it’s not just about another contract. It’s about belief – yours in me, and mine in Suzuki.
The RM-Z450 might not have the flashiest updates on paper, but what it has is soul – and a team willing to grind every single day to make it competitive. To the H.E.P. crew, thank you for never backing down. You’ve stood beside me through the hard days, the rehab, and the return. And now, we ride again.
This season is not just about chasing podiums – it’s about redefining what’s possible for a rider and a brand that some had written off. I’m not here to prove the doubters wrong; I’m here to prove us right.
To the Suzuki engineers, mechanics, sponsors, and every fan in yellow gear screaming from the fences: this letter is my way of saying I see you, I appreciate you, and I’m riding for you.
We’re not done. Not by a long shot. Let’s make history, again.”
Roczen’s open letter has already gone viral among fans and within the motocross community, sparking a wave of support across social media. Many industry insiders are praising his loyalty, heart, and the rare humility that’s often missing at the elite level of competition.
With Roczen back in yellow and clearly riding with renewed purpose, Suzuki appears poised for a renaissance. Whether or not he clinches a title, one thing is clear: Ken Roczen and Suzuki are once again writing a story worth following.
