Roczen charged steadily forward to place his Suzuki RM-Z450 into a top five main event result. The points earned from his victory at the previous round, combined with his top five Detroit result, moved Roczen up into fourth place in the championship.

Ken Roczen: Our weekend in Detroit was pretty solid, being on the board in every qualifier. We had a solid heat race start and a good battle up front. I ended up honestly making a bad choice before the dragon's back. I didn't really have that down and another rider snuck by me, and I ended up third in the heat race. But we were feeling decent going into the main event. My start was just so-so, I was sort of buried in the back and it was a tough track to pass on. I was engaging with a few riders in a couple of battles, and I brought it home in fifth. We want more and want to be consistently on the podium; but we'll take a fifth for this weekend, keep working, and we'll try again in Seattle.
