Post-Race Voices: Roczen, Davies & More from Philadelphia Supercross
Paige Turner here, your Official BlueMoto reporter — live for race day, gates dropping, roost flying, and those stories straight from the riders who just battled it out.
We’ve already broken down the race itself, the brutal weather and muddy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field, plus Ken Roczen’s big win in the 450SX class and Cole Davies clinching the 250SX East title. Now let’s hear directly from the riders in their post-race interviews after Round 15 of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Philadelphia.
Ken Roczen (Progressive Insurance Cycle Gear Suzuki) grabbed his fifth win of the season in the shortened main event and took the red plate with a slim four-point lead heading into the final two rounds.
Ken kept it real about the brutal conditions: “The track was way tougher in the main than in the heat race. I needed a clear track, but Hunter and Cooper were right there at the start. I just tried to keep two wheels down, ride smart, and push at the same time.”
Lapped traffic made the closing laps tense: “Towards the end it got close because of the lappers. I had to roll some sections when they were in front, and that let the gap close. I really had to stay focused.”
On those valuable championship points and the calculated push at the finish: “Those points are very valuable. I had a good lead but it got smaller. I had to push hard but not take crazy risks. Things can go sideways in a heartbeat in these conditions.”
With two rounds left and the pressure on, Kenny stayed locked in: “The pressure has been there for a long time, but now I deal with it one weekend at a time. I do what I need to stay calm. This was a big race. I’m really proud of my team and myself. Hard work pays off. Nothing changes for me — we still need to go out and win.”
