MXIllustrated: Roger, does it make you feel young working with a 16 year old like Ken Roczen?

De Coster: It makes me feel young to work with Young people and Young people with a desire; it feels good to be part of that.

MXIllustrated: How was your level compared to his at the age of 16?

De Coster: He was way better than me. Everts: Me too

MXIllustrated: Does he have the package to be a big Champion?

De Coster: He has all the tools for it, now you have to see if he has the dedication to keep at it and keep his feet on the ground.

MXIllustrated: Does Ken like girls more than you did when you were young?

De Coster: (Laughing) I don’t know if he likes them more, but they seem more available to him.

MXIllustrated: Stefan, same question to you about Ken, not about the girls, but about the possibility of being a big Champion?

Everts: Oh, that is disappointing; I wanted to talk about the girls. No, seriously, even Jeffrey these kids are a different league. I was far off what these two are at this stage. Both have the potential to be big champions in the future, but the hard time will come when the start winning a lot and are being a Champion, then it will be tough to stay with feet on the ground, but if they come through this period, then for sure they will be great champions.
