Kenny Kills It At Red Bull Straight Rhythm
Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen had an exciting day at the 2019 Red Bull Straight Rhythm event, taking home the 250cc title after winning every matchup and going undefeated on the day. The unique two-stroke only-format saw Roczen pay homage to Jeremy McGrath, as he rode MC’s 2006 Factory CR250R while wearing a retro kit inspired by McGrath’s 1996 gear.
“I’m so stoked!” Roczen said. “I had such a blast and am so excited to come away with the win tonight. I’ve never raced a two-stroke before so to be able to ride Jeremy McGrath’s actual bike from 2006 and get the win is awesome. Nothing but good vibes and hopefully this translates into many more for the season to come.
“I have to give it up to the entire team, who put so much work into this whole event. It was always supposed to be super-fun but I know it was also a lot of work, so I have to thank the guys.”
