AMA Supercross round 4 Phoenix 2017

in #motocross8 years ago (edited)

I chose the above image as a salute and also to replace the horrible scenes viewed by everyone in the 450 main last week. Ken Roczen suffered a huge crash whilst trying to catch up to the leaders. He suffered a dislocated elbow, wrist and compounded radius... Things like this do happen in this sport just as any others but its never nice to see. Especially after the start to the season Ken had. My thoughts are with him and i wish him a speedy recovery, he is a very dedicated guy and i believe he has it in him to come back from this.

Here was his first post after the incident.

This season does seem to have taken a fair amount of riders down so far...

450
Justin Barcia – Wrist
Barcia hurt his wrist before the season, suffering a fracture of his lunate bone and some ligament damage.

Justin Bogle – Bruised Lungs
Bogle crashed out after taking the holeshot in his heat race.

Trey Canard – Shoulder
He had a rough opener to the season... It's looking doubtful he will be back for Pheonix

Fredrik Noren – Tonsillitis

Ken Roczen – Wrist, Elbow, Forearm
He has a long road ahead... Early reports say he will need multiple surgeries and might not even be ready for the outdoor season.

250
Chris Alldredge – Collarbone

Matt Bisceglia– Foot

Hayden Mellross – Hand

Colt Nichols – Femur

Mitchell Oldenburg – Collarbone

Trevor Reis – Knee and Foot

Chase Sexton – Wrists

Bradley Taft – Concussion

And how about that Chad Reed? I sure wish Roczen would have been there to really test Tomac. Overall, some great dicing at Phoenix, esp in that big sandy corner.

Full videos up on my blog also @the-ivor :)

Chad smashed it tonight! So good to see him battling it out with Dungey. :)
Tomac found some pace also! Great races in both classes to be honest.

That Sandy corner... nasty
