Ken Roczen’s win in St. Louis has him publicly thinking about the 450 title race — a psychological and tactical boost as the series nears its closing rounds.

The combined effect is a tighter, more dynamic title fight: every start, holeshot and mistake in Nashville now carries amplified consequence.
