I chose the above image as a salute and also to replace the horrible scenes viewed by everyone in the 450 main last week. Ken Roczen suffered a huge crash whilst trying to catch up to the leaders. He suffered a dislocated elbow, wrist and compounded radius... Things like this do happen in this sport just as any others but its never nice to see. Especially after the start to the season Ken had. My thoughts are with him and i wish him a speedy recovery, he is a very dedicated guy and i believe he has it in him to come back from this.

Here was his first post after the incident.

This season does seem to have taken a fair amount of riders down so far... 

**450**
**Justin Barcia** – Wrist
Barcia hurt his wrist before the season, suffering a fracture of his lunate bone and some ligament damage. 

**Justin Bogle** – Bruised Lungs
Bogle crashed out after taking the holeshot in his heat race. 

**Trey Canard** – Shoulder
He had a rough opener to the season... It's looking doubtful he will be back for Pheonix

**Fredrik Noren** – Tonsillitis

**Ken Roczen** – Wrist, Elbow, Forearm
He has a long road ahead... Early reports say he will need multiple surgeries and might not even be ready for the outdoor season.

**250**
**Chris Alldredge** – Collarbone

**Matt Bisceglia**– Foot

**Hayden Mellross** – Hand

**Colt Nichols** – Femur

**Mitchell Oldenburg** – Collarbone
