Background & Injury
In early 2025, Roczen had surgery on a ligament in his foot and skipped the final two rounds of Supercross as well as the start of the Pro Motocross season. () His team stated that he was planning to return to Pro Motocross later in the summer, pending his recovery.
Last Outdoor Race: High Point 2023
The 2023 High Point National marked Roczen’s last outdoor Pro Motocross appearance. In that race, he showed he still had the pace—he qualified fastest ahead of eventual champion Jett Lawrence and then executed a powerful performance to finish second overall
Brief 2024 Comeback
In 2024, Roczen made a brief return to the Pro Motocross circuit:
- At Unadilla National 2024, he raced the 450 class and finished 7th overall, with consistent moto results (7-6).
- He then dropped into the 250 class at the Ironman National, riding a Suzuki RM-Z250—his first 250 outings in over a decade—and placed 9th overall (with moto scores of 9-12).
These two rounds comprised his only outdoor national starts in 2024.
Now: Return at Unadilla 2025
Roczen is set to return to the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship at Round 10—Unadilla, happening this weekend. He confirmed the news via social media, bluntly stating, “Well, I’m gonna come race Unadilla next weekend. This will mark his first Pro Motocross start of the 2025 season.
In summary:
- Last outdoor Pro Motocross race: High Point National, 2023 — 2nd overall.
- Brief return in 2024: Unadilla (7th, 450 class) and Ironman (9th, 250 class).
- Upcoming return: This weekend at Unadilla, Round 10 of Pro Motocross 2025.
