Roczen confirmed for Mallory

THERE was relief all round at Monday dinner-time as Ken Roczen could confirm that his big crash at Reutlingen the previous day would not keep him out of the Mallory Park GP this weekend.
The 15-year-old suffered a knee injury, but a thorough medical investigation on Monday confirmed that it is not serious enough to prevent the teenager from starting at Mallory.
"Nothing to worry about," reported the German teenager by text message. "The inner ligament is a bit stretched, that's all... but it would have been a lot worse if I hadn't been wearing my knee brace."
Mallory will be Ken's third GP. In Portugal he scored 30-points, in Spain 37 and only missed his first GP podium and moto win by a couple of seconds.
Look for more fireworks from Suzuki number 94 this weekend!
