AP #7 - Roczen crash

Brutal the way it went down. Wishing the best for AP!

I really hope AP is okay. With that said I did laugh at the dance he did while trying to get out of the way of everyone behind him. The whole scene gave Ricky Bobby vibes when he thought he was on fire. I can’t imagine how shaken up and angry he was in that moment. 

Yaa that was scary, looked like his hands were close to Kenny’s swingarm/rear wheel area. Hopefully he’s ok. 

Scott.....his dad, posted on FB that he is OK.

Savatgy?

I hope Savatgy is ok. It looked like a twisted knee. 

As bad as that was it could have been so much worse. Hope AP and Savatgy are both ok.

ya I think so. Probably stuck his foot in a rut and got his knee twisted around like you said.

Could it have been a stinger? 

Aaron Plessinger: “My day was going alright in Indianapolis and I felt we made some steps forward throughout qualifying. I climbed up to eighth in the first race, which was good, given where I started – I felt I rode pretty well. And then in Race 2, I got a pretty good start inside the top-five before Kenny [Roczen] slid on one of the on-offs, then he went double while I tripled, which had me plough directly into his back tire on the next jump. It took me off the bike and now I have a pretty good bruise on my right arm where his tire hit me, but as bad as it was, I think I got pretty lucky to get away from that one with nothing broken. We didn’t do the third race, which was unfortunate, although now having a weekend off, we’ll keep up the work and keep grinding.”

Initially, I thought the family jewels got wacked, then the first replay I worried that his fingers got caught in spokes or a sprocket. Then, the final replay, I assumed a broken hand/finger. But sounds like none of that was true, which is good. Bad situation for all involved. Glad he's ok. 

That was my thought. He was hit by Kenny in the neck/shoulder area where a lot of nerves are located. 

What a crazy looking crash btw. Remind me of mcadoo’s tunnel jump crash with how crazy the physics were. 

How was Welton? laying in a corner with the bike on top of him when the leader goes by, and no one on the broadcast mentions it?  Another spectacular job. /s
