Stephane Roncada in 2001.
Roncada in action.
Stephane Roncada was one of the leading motocross and supercross racers of the early 2000s. The Frenchman won the AMA 125cc East Supercross title in 2000 and finished just two points behind Travis Pastrana in AMA 125cc Motocross Nationals that year. He became a factory rider for Kawasaki. Combined Roncada won 11 AMA 125cc Supercross and Motocross races during his career.
Roncada was way ahead of the curve in connecting with his fans via the Web. He was often refered to as the Bill Gates of Motocross. Roncada not only started his own website (www.ronronmx.com), but he was the CEO, the designer, webmaster and advertising sales manager all rolled into one.
That knowledge outside of racing paid off for Roncada. After his career he went on to develop video games. His latest work is a supercross game app for the iPhone. Roncada also became an excellent photographer. You can check out his photography and blog via www.ronronmx.com.
