Brea, CA – Ken Roczen will sit out the upcoming Monster Energy AMA Supercross round in Denver, Colorado, due to an aggravated right ankle injury. The injury occurred during a midweek practice session, resulting in significantly damaged ligaments that require surgery.

Roczen, who has been battling shoulder and ankle injuries throughout the season, suffered this major setback while training. Medical evaluations confirmed that he has torn a ligament in his right ankle. Team Manager said, “Ken has been pushing through a lot of adversity this season. He’s been incredibly tough and focused on delivering for the team each weekend, even while managing pain. This new development is unfortunate, but we support him fully in taking the necessary steps to heal properly.”
