American Honda Supercross rider Ken Roczen has battled numerous ailments in the past five years. After signing with Team Red in 2017, the Polish-German rider endured a compound fracture to his left arm at the second Anaheim round of the season. That injury sidelined him for the rest of the 2017 AMA Supercross and Motocross Championship, but that wasn’t the end of Roczen’s health woes.
In June, 2020, the Honda rider announced that he was diagnosed with shingles. After finishing third in the 2020 AMA Supercross Championship, Roczen sat out the 2020 Motocross Championship in order to regain his full health for the 2021 season. Despite Roczen’s past illnesses, he stormed out of the gate in 2022, seizing victory at the season opener in Anaheim. However, since then, the 27-year-old rider’s performance has been erratic.
