450 ARLINGTON SUPERCROSS HIGHLIGHTS
Ken Roczen
Ken Roczen had a strong performance in Arlington. Starting the night on a high note, he got a great start in the first of three races, took the lead, and the win. Unfortunately, he was unable to repeat his start in the second race. Buried mid-pack, he had to fight to recover for seventh. In the final race, Roczen started in fourth. The ensuing 17 laps, there was a heated four-way battle, lead changes, and exciting passes. Ultimately, he finished in second. His 1-7-2 score landed him in second place for the night.
Adam Cianciarulo
Adam Cianciarulo suffered a heavy crash in the first timed qualifying session. He was unable to return. Later, it was confirmed via Instagram that Cianciarulo has suffered a broken clavicle. Our thoughts are with him on a speedy recovery.
Chad Reed
Chad Reed continued his One Last Ride tour in Arlington. The support from the Texas fans was amazing. His 14-12-16 score landed him in 13th.
