The German rider’s post is in response to the hype surrounding Red Bull KTM rider Marvin Musquin, who has gone undefeated in three major off-season races.

“All this talk about who’s side the momentum is on and people pretending like it is all layed out since one rider won a lot the year before he will win the championship,” said Roczen.

“IT’S BULLSHIT. Stop acting like it is always all layed out. 2018 is a new year. I have won monster cup before and didn’t get the SX championship either. It DOESNT MATTER WHO WINS 3 months before the season even starts,” Roczen added.

Roczen also lays out at his intentions for next year and how he’s feeling about racing in 2018. See his full statement below.
