Ken Roczen has spoken about the recovery from that awful 2017 crash and how it was in question if he could race again:
“When I first got there, he was like,’I don’t know if you’ll be able to race again.’ That was a big hit to guy, you know? Getting the news that I might not be able to race again, or ride again in general, is super hard. I shut the brain down a little bit there, because I knew I had a long road to get back to riding if that was even possible. I took a mental break from the sport…I put in so much work, I hired my own therapist over two years that was living with me and we did therapy twice a day and besides that I did my own therapy, I was constantly trying to move my arm, move the scars.”
