News Saturday 09th December 2011 By Geoff Meyer

Roger De Coster has spoken about World MX2 Champion Ken Roczen and two times World MX2 Champion Marvin Musquin to race the 350cc machine in the weekend they won't be racing the Lites class. Both are schedueled to race in the AMA Lites class in the Supercross series and at the moment it's not decided which coast they will ride, East of West.

With KTM obviously keen to run the 350cc as much as possible and both riders being on the lean side it sounds like the perfect combination. With riders like Ryan Villopoto, Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey and Kevin Windham already in the Supercross class it's going to be interesting to see what the two European riders can do in the premier class.

In other news Jeffrey Herlings flew out of USA today and back to his homeland Holland. Interesting what he wrote on his facebook page.

Tomorrow back home after 3 weeks.. USA dude, was fast, but Injuries and Crashes .. The US dream;-)! Damm Supercross! Love it or hate it.. A1 '13?:-D

Like many European riders he might just be wondering about the American Dream.

Watch this space for more news on USA soon.
