JUSTIN BARCIA
#51 Justin Barcia- Everyone in the motocross world knows Justin Barcia and
his aggressive riding style. His Rookie Debut at Glen Helen in 2009 was unbelievable, leading the majority of the race in both motos, (search it on youtube, its amazing). Justin would finish 5th overall at the end of the 2009 Motocross championship. In 2010 he would finish 5th overall again in outdoors but would finish runner up in the 250 east coast division. In 2011 and 2012 the #51 would be the 250 East Coast Division Champion. 2012 was a great year for the long time Factory Honda rider defending his supercross title, finishing 2nd in the 250 motocross season, being picked to represent team USA at MxoN where team America finshed 3rd overall, and winning the Monster Energy Cup.
After a derailment with Honda Justin was left searching for a new factory ride to call home, with the JGR team. It has taken some time for Barcia to get used to the new team, and new bike, but after a few great rides from Justin and a contract extension its safe to say that both Barcia and the JGR team are happy to be a part of each others programs.
