Ken Roczen Clinches Fifth Podium of the Season at Arlington Triple Crown
Ken Roczen continues to prove himself as one of the most consistent and determined riders in the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season. At the highly anticipated Arlington Triple Crown event at AT&T Stadium, Roczen delivered another impressive performance, securing his fifth podium finish of the season. The German rider’s strong showing earned him a second-place overall finish, keeping him firmly in the championship hunt.
The Triple Crown format, which combines results from three separate races, demands not only speed but consistency — and Roczen showcased both. He kicked off the event with a statement win in Race 1, setting the tone for the evening with his aggressive and calculated riding. In Race 2, however, he faced tougher competition and settled for a fifth-place finish. Roczen bounced back in Race 3, finishing third, which was enough to place him second overall for the night.
With this result, Roczen remains third in the 2025 Supercross championship standings. He’s currently 19 points behind championship leader Cooper Webb and just a few points off second place. His consistent presence on the podium throughout the season underscores his determination to stay in contention for the title.
Reflecting on his performance, Roczen acknowledged both his strengths and areas where he still hopes to improve. “I’m just not fast enough. I need a couple more tenths a lap,” Roczen admitted in a post-race interview. Despite his honest self-assessment, his ability to stay near the top of the results sheet race after race has kept him among the elite contenders this season.
The Arlington Triple Crown event also highlighted the depth of talent in the Supercross field this year. Cooper Webb, who currently leads the standings, managed to maintain his edge, while Chase Sexton and Eli Tomac also put up fierce competition. Roczen’s ability to consistently battle with these top riders week after week has been key to his continued success.
Roczen’s performance at Arlington is part of a larger comeback story this season. After battling injuries and setbacks in previous years, he’s shown remarkable resilience and dedication. His fifth podium of the season is a testament to his hard work, skill, and veteran experience. As the season progresses, Roczen will need to maintain this level of performance while looking for opportunities to close the points gap in the championship standings.
Looking ahead, the next round of the 2025 AMA Supercross season promises more thrilling competition. Roczen and his team will no doubt be focused on refining their strategy and finding the extra speed he believes he needs to challenge for more race wins. With his current form and determination, there’s every reason to believe that Roczen will continue to be a major force in the title race.
As the season reaches its midway point, fans of Supercross can expect more high-stakes battles and standout performances from Ken Roczen. His Arlington podium is just the latest chapter in what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive and exciting seasons in recent memory.
