See that fractured wrist? That means no Supercross action for KTM/Red Bull star Ken Roczen for awhile.
With A1 only weeks away, one of the rising stars of
Supercross is out. Red Bull/KTM's Ken Roczen will miss the West Coast Lites portion of the
2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season after breaking his left arm during a practice crash at the KTM test track in Corona, California, yesterday.
“broke my arm today. got surgury right away and we r expecting to ride east coast! good thing is. hopefullybaj KTM champion in west n east,” wrote Roczen on his Twitter page.
This throws a wrench in
KTM Team Manager Roger DeCoster’s plans to have Roczen and KTM teammate Marvin Musquin compete on the 250s in the West series, then have them tackle the East Coast section on board the KTM 350. Now Musquin will bear the torch alone for the Red Bull/KTM team in the West Coast 250 class.
Roczen, the 2011 MX2 World Champion, also won the AMA Rising Star Award last year and was one of the early favorites in the Supercross Lites class.
