My wife is asking what happened to Roczen to pull out of the race?

Looked like he was seeing stars when he was being interviewed.

Definitely wasn't tracking very well. Right decision.

He couldn't even describe his own crash after it happened. Definitely the right choice in pulling out when dazed and confused.

Disappointing result but he still has time to come back, there's lots of racing left.

Kenny's a pretty tough kid. He sure seemed like his bell had been rung pretty hard after that crash. I doubt the Asterik Medical Crew would have let him continue on as it seemed pretty obvious he had a concussion.

And just because he wasn't able to finish a race outdoors, last year, doesn't mean he's a quitter.

Does the AMA have a concussion program like the NFL?

Yes, the Asterisk crew takes care of all concussions with some type of baselined computer test. Each rider has a baseline and they are tested against it during the week after a concussion.

I think he was referring to the race that KRoc decided to conserve energy in the heat race and didn't make it out of the LCQ. Could be wrong.

Either way, I don't think this decision was made in the same light that last year's DNQ was. I think he was feeling a little loopy.
