Justin Barcia motors to a fourth-place finish in the Detroit Supercross

Round ten of the AMA Supercross Series found the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory #racing Team in downtown #detroit in search of another strong 450-class finish. The night definitely didn’t disappoint, as he added to his string of strong finishes.

  • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory #racing Team huddled up in the pits for a very chilly visit to the Motor City, but Barcia brought the heat on the track.
  • Justin Barcia scores another solid top-five result
  • Michael Mosiman was on the sidelines for this weekend

450SX
Justin Barcia continues to show impressive speed aboard his MC 450F Factory Edition. In the heat race he was a strong second after working his passing magic early in the race. When it came time for the main event, he was once again among the frontrunners, running as high as second during the middle portion of the main. While he dropped a couple of positions later in the main due to mistakes, he was still happy with the strong finish.

Justin Barcia: "It was a pretty good day. In the heat race I worked through the pack and got up to second. I was chasing first but ran out of time. In the main event I got off to about a fourth or fifth place start. I was charging hard and made a couple mistakes, then rode a little bit tight after that. I was in fourth getting close to third but ran out of time and the race was over. I'm looking forward to Seattle, as it'll be my birthday weekend. I'm getting old and having a good time.”
