Ken Roczen came away from this weekend’s Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas with a big win and $100,000 richer after posting a 1-4-1 performance in the three main event format at this year’s race. The RCH/Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John’s Suzuki rider had to battle familiar foes Ryan Dungey, Trey Canard and Jason Anderson to get the job done, but in the end, the Suzuki rider was unbeatable in the final race. Photographer Jeff Kardas was on hand to bring us a beautiful look at the action.
