I get that KR must be frustrated as F/(<.
I also get that many of us seem to have forgotten about the extent of his wrist injury and that it was typically a career ender. His “process” of surgeries, therapies and rehabs took their toll on his system. Then, as I recall, he took another hit from the San Diego Lyme Debacle…and that was after the OTHER wrist injury.
His “systems”, from immune to digestive and potentially even endocrine and exocrine took a beating during that period of time.
I remember reading up on this stuff back when he was going thru all of this. The extensive bone & tissue grafting/growth doesn’t take place as rapidly and certainly not as effectively as his did…in such a short period of time …without some serious “special therapies” and those therapies seem to have a price.
So, watching him have all these years of being susceptible to exposures and failure hasn’t surprised me one bit.
He’s still out there competing with the fastest racers in 2 disciplines.
More power to him.
And, sure, call ma a “Fan Boy”. Doesn’t offend me; because, in this case…well…we all know I’m a fan of all these racers that hang it out at this level
Especially when they throw caution to the wind and show me a little “Magoo” every now and then.
I have definitely not forgotten what Ken has been thru as far as injuries and all the other BS. I was at San Diego when his arm went into Webbs wheel. Count me as one of the many who was beyond jazzed to see him come back from all that and start winning again. I have the utmost respect for his grit and talent, not to mention his speed is beyond insane.
He does appear to get in his own head from his social media posts. His last "f*** you" outburst was really bad and it diminished him. .He also shares far too much about his health for my tastes. We now live in a world where people share far too much if you ask me.
By my stating it's about the time of the season Ken starts fading is not a slam....it's just what we've seen the last few years. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he drops out before the season is up. If not....I will be rooting for him.
This is Kenny. He gets sick a lot, and when he is sick, it hits him harder. It's just his life now. Some people just see it and go, "it is what it is", and some people get pissed when they hear "the same excuse over and over" but still demand some sort of explanation? That's the explanation. He's going to be using the same excuse til the end of his career because that's just what is happening.
Not sure what else there is to say. He wrecked his immune system from the surgeries and antibiotics from limegate, and this is the result of that.
Pit Row
What I'm not a fan of is his APPARENT perception of how everyone sees him. That rant before the season was cringe-worthy, I think, even for most of his die-hard fans.
Not many, if ANY, people are saying he should quit or he has nothing left to add to the sport. Basically we are saying yeah Kenny is a total legend, and will probably start the season super strong, winning races and blowing some minds....then about halfway he'll unfortunately fade dramatically because of health issues out of his control.
He loses his mind publicly on Instagram because of those opinions....
Then halfway through the season we are seeing that fade, and he publicly says it's because of "health issues out of his control."
I think that's what most people have a problem with.
