Naturally, Ken Roczen was pleased with his 1-1 performance at Hangtown, saying after the race, “We’re in a way better position than we were last year. I can go out and can focus on my riding. It is a new season and everybody has a chance at the title. I want to bring this kind of focus to every round this season.” Roczen goes to San Bernardino next weekend with a six-point lead in the standings.Photo By Jeff Kardas

Ryan Dungey had to be pleased with a 2-2 since he has never won the Hangtown race. Look for the Red Bull KTM rider to get back on the winning pace when the series moves east.Photos By Jeff Kardas

Josh Grant, Hangtown Classic MX, 2016
Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh Grant finished eighth overall with a 8-8. Felt good to get out here and ride two strong and consistent races. I feel like I’ve got more to offer but for it being the first round, I’m okay with leaving here in eighth. Looking forward to Glen Helen next weekend.”Photos By Jeff Kardas
