Roczen straight pulled a Tomac. Like Icarus, flying too close to the sun. Biggest get off I've seen in years.
Roczen did a Roczen. Remember at the MEC when he endoed his brains out? Remember last year when he cased that triple the worse way possible a few rounds in? remember when he exploded and smashed into a wall and wrecked his ankle in SX last year? Remember when he lost his bike on the start and launder his body off the first corner last year?

Unfortunately, the only person that can beat Roczen is himself. This is just what he does. I hope he rebounds fast and is 100% for outdoors.

Nothing? Thought so.

It's not like he was going all over the place trying to catch Seely. He settled into pace and took his time. He has taken that line all day, not sure what changed from the lap before.

Too many haters here. That's all.

You line up to race and you sometimes hit a bad kicker man. Ken has been on point. He didn't even make a mistake. It's just racing. But too many dumb people around here to comprehend that.

Was KR just relying on his skills too much?
I would say to many idiots.

This crash could happen to anybody.
Just listen to the interview from Dungey direct after the race.

Keen didn't even hit it bad it was just a terrible kicker.

To all the idiots who hoped for something like this.
Hope those will have a similar crash soon.

Nothing in this race was from his attitude but him running his mouth for the last few weeks doesnt help his cause. I'm not satisfied that it bit him as that was brutal and I wouldn't wish that on anyone but hopefully he will be a little more humble and lay off the Aldon digs at every turn now.
"but him running his mouth for the last few weeks...." So that's why he fell? That explains J-Mart going down. He was "running his mouth" last week about the Dirt Wurx crew. Now I just gotta go back and read some interviews from the past few weeks to see what Dungey and Bogle said to cause them to go down tonight.

No. It was 100% a kicker. Marvin and RD both said there were kickers every where. Marvin said he almost threw it away a couple times exactly where Ken wrecked. A bad kicker can get anyone.

No it doesn't have to do with him falling at all. I already stated that nothing in this race is due to his arrogance. It was just his immature invincible demeanor the past few weeks that could have predicted this. I believe a ton of people had already predicted this happening to Ken.

Edit: and Bogle has done the holeshot to throw away a ton of times.

Shitty deal. 4 races on that bike and he's had the exact same get off in 50% of them. Hope he heals soon!

Stupid question, did Roczen bail or did the bike boot him off ? Honestly, I can't see well with lost glasses.

All I know is that he came into the season with flashy statements and dissing his former trainer, and now his season is over while the guy with his former trainer is now in the points lead.

You have to be kidding me with this shit, he hit a kicker, it happens.

The guy just splatted himself in one of the worst crashes I've ever seen and before he's even into surgery the vitards are already kicking him when he's down, some of you seriously need to have some respect and compassion for people.

Did I imply that I am happy about what happened to Roczen in any way at all? That was a disgusting crash.

But if you're going to tell me that his crash was completely unavoidable and not caused a little bit by being too hasty, impatient, and slightly over confident... I'll disagree with you. That's it.

But just because I think what I think doesn't mean in any way I wanted this to happen to Roczen or that I don't feel awful for him. Hell, I feel bad for everyone in the sport, this season just likely got boring. Some of you need to chill out.

That was a hard hit. Very much like mine last year that put me in ICU. He's very lucky it's only his arm.

Roczen and Honda had an awesome PR gig going. I was never a KR fan but after the Terriferma tribute and the Milencolin lyrics describing his bike. I was ready to jump on. Bummer

Ha ha. No it's not too soon. Here's hoping Kenny has the same healing powers as Wile E. Coyote. Wile E. recovered quickly from some serious mishaps!

Assholes saying "I told you so, I knew this was gonna happen, that's what he gets" you are the biggest scumbags. Really pissed me off when Dungey "thanked the lord for keeping us safe". Wtf? As Ken goes to the er with serious injuries.

Roczen's not even in the hospital to check him for more possible injuries but the finger flippers are already here having fun and acting smart, like expected. Keep on keepin on guys, enjoy the rest of a exciting championship. Rogers KTM posse also looked extra happy today, gotta love em...

Really sucks he's out and I hope he heals up soon and get's back out there. He was definitely the man this season and I see no reason why he won't get back to that. But on the other hand and (and this is me being optimistic) this could light a fire under guy's like Musquin and Anderson knowing now they don't have to race two very good guy's, only one. I don't have much faith in Tomac to do much more than top fives and podiums and MAYBE get a win, he just looks very off especially in the mains.

A kicker???

The line he took was smooth, the transition is what bucked him.

His fault just like it was at MEC

He can't beat Dungey over an entire season in SX and that's life man.
