Justin Barcia is back and will race at Unadilla in New York this weekend. Barcia sustained a collarbone and shoulder injury at Supercross Round 15 in Nashville. The crash sidelined Barcia for the remainder of the season.
“It’s been a process, for sure, a lot to think about. We’re past the injury now after two surgeries, lots of training and a lot of recovery, so I’m definitely excited to come back at my home race in New York for the fans and myself, just to get out there. There are no expectations set because I’ve been off for a lot of months, so I just want to go out there and have fun and build. Obviously, as a racer, you always want to be competitive, but I just need to get back to the races and enjoy being around the team, as well as my family and friends there. Unadilla’s going to be a cool race!” said Barcia.
Barcia will race with the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas Factory team and is expected to finish the remainder of the Pro Motocross season. 250 rider Caden Braswell has been filling in for Barcia for the last eight rounds of the season.
