Another Suzuki rider injured!

The bad luck for Team Suzuki just keeps on coming. Just over a week after Travis Pastrana's season-ending knee injury and less than a month after Branden Jesseman's thumb injury - and we won't even mention Danny Smith here - SoBe Suzuki team manager Roger DeCoster suffered a broken collarbone yesterday while mountain-biking near his home in Southern California. According to a very reliable source (TFS), "The Man" crashed and burned and is now nursing a bum wing.

This is only the latest in a long string of big injuries and/or bizarre for Suzuki riders that goes all the way back to Greg Albertyn's early days in the U.S.A. We would list them all here, but we honestly don't have enough ink.






Those YTs must really bring the bad mojo. Wonder if Roger ever thinks about changing colors :)

Maybe from Lemon to Lime! I bet by now Roger makes em all carry first aid kits where ever they go.

Im with mxneagle, is it just me or should they switch and run away from the yellow and green? Maybe thats the problem.

I saw this and was going to post it, but I didn't want to step on your toes. ;)

I guess that sweatshirt Roger just signed for me went up in value?


Seriously, sorry to hear this. He was really cool to me and my kids at the slc supercross.
