Five time World 500cc Champion Joel Smets told me yesterday evening that Roczen might just be the most complete rider the sport has seen in Europe in a long time(that interview we will have later today) and Eric Geboers had mentioned a couple of years ago that Roczen was the European version of Ricky Carmichael.

Last weekend the two Belgian legends stood on the sidelines and were amazed at the improvement this kid can produce time and time again. We sat down with Ken and asked him a few questions, and here they are. Next weekend we will try and get more on this young man and give you a little more information on where his future is.

MXlarge: Ken, that was just amazing. You really looked experienced out there. How did it feel to win you first ever GP?

Roczen: I was hoping for it, but my first goal was to be on the podium, I don't care if it was first, second or third, but now it was first, so that is amazing.

MXlarge: Youngest Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport, that is pretty impressive.

Roczen: They told me that after the podium, but I forgot it quickly, I don't think about that stuff. The crowd was crazy, I heard them every lap and they cheered me on and gave me great motivation.

MXlarge: Tell us about your first moto?

Roczen: The first race I didn't have a good start, out of the start I wasn't good for my the whole weekend, but this time maybe my rut was a little too soft, then I came back to third place and Marvin (Musquin) crashed and I saw that I was second, and then I could close up a bit to Steven (Frossard), but the first race second place was okay.

MXlarge: And the second moto you looked strong, but didn't really push all the way did you?

Roczen: The second moto my start was better, I was third and I passed Rui (Goncalves) pretty quickly for second and I had a big fight with Marvin. I got a second place and first overall, what more could you want. I raced with him before, but I had never been in a fight with him like that. He is riding really hard, but so am I, we didn't touch each other and when I was first he passed me I said that is okay, I don't know if he wanted to block me and I didn't want to crash so I took second place and was happy with that and the overall.

MXlarge: So quickly a Grand Prix victory, how can you top this now?

Roczen: It is going to be hard to get two wins, but I don't expect anything. I just want to ride and have fun and see what I can do. Today was really nice for me, I am happy for my team and the fans, it's been a really good weekend and now we head to Latvia and see what happens there.
