JUSTIN BARCIA
Justin Barcia has been more eager to get back towards the front than probably any other rider. Justin had a very solid 2014 Supercross season full of top five finishes and many podiums. Since then, Justin has had almost two full seasons that he would like to forget. He is doing everything he can to get back to where he was in 2014 but it seems that frustration is getting the best of him. Last year didn’t go as
planned for the #51 and 2016 isn’t looking any better. Bad luck, bad starts, and bad crashes have been the culprit for Justin and he is looking for that break that he desperately needs. Despite the unfavorable results, he is keeping an extremely positive attitude and moving forward each weekend with lessons learned. We are in the presence of a much more mature Justin Barcia and he should be working his way to the top again soon. This weekend in New Jersey will be considered Justin’s home race and he will be ready to do battle in front of his friends and family. So far, only Honda and Kawasaki have won in New Jersey and Barcia will try his best to break that streak.
