Ken Roczen Post-Surgery Update: As you hopefully know by now, Honda’s Ken Roczen suffered a massive crash while running third in last Saturday night’s 450cc main event at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. The dominant racer to that point after having won the first two rounds of the series, Roczen was moving through the field at round three when he got kicked in a rhythm section and went flying spectacularly over the bars.

Today, Roczen sent out another update for the fans/media on his Instagram page. His arm is all bandaged up, post-surgery, and he had this to say:
“Got lucky with a lot of things the last few days but I got the luckiest with the people that are loving me and supporting me. Starting off with my amazing woman. Not just in times like this but on the daily. Also close friends and especially family and friends from Germany. Most important thing in life is to be healthy and have great people around you. Even though I am not healthy right now I feel like I achieved the rest. From GF to friends to family to my amazing team @honda_powersports_us it makes all this shitty time only half as bad cause I got positive thoughts to hold on to. Got about 4 surgeries to go or so. All gonna be good. Or as @oswi_cbad and I say. ‘IT’LL BUFF OUT’ lol”
So, it sounds like there are more surgeries in store for Roczen in the days and weeks ahead, but typical Ken Roczen, he’s tough, and he’s making sure he keeps his focus on the bright side.
