Ken Roczen Battles Through Injury After AC Joint Separation
Ken Roczen is pushing through adversity once again, as it was revealed that the Suzuki rider is dealing with an AC joint separation following a crash last week. Despite the injury, Roczen still lined up for today’s qualifying sessions, though he pulled off early in the second session, signaling that the injury is taking its toll.
An AC (acromioclavicular) joint separation is a painful injury that affects the connection between the collarbone and the shoulder blade, making it difficult to control the bike, especially in high-impact racing conditions. Roczen, known for his resilience, has dealt with serious injuries throughout his career and continues to fight through setbacks.
While details on the severity of the separation remain unclear, sources indicate that Roczen intends to compete in tonight’s main event. His ability to race will likely depend on pain management and whether he can maintain control of the bike under race conditions.
Roczen’s determination is nothing new to fans, as the German rider has repeatedly overcome injuries that might have sidelined others. His presence on the track, even at less than 100 percent, is a testament to his toughness and commitment to racing.
As the night unfolds, all eyes will be on Roczen to see if he can power through the discomfort and put in a competitive performance. Regardless of the outcome, his willingness to race through injury further solidifies his reputation as one of the sport’s toughest competitors.
