Barcia bags a triple crown podium at Glendale Supercross

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Normally, the annual trip to the desert southwest for #amasupercross is much earlier in the season. But the dry and slick conditions? Those have proven to be consistent features in #glendale.

  • The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory #racing Team was looking to continue the positive momentum they’ve been building in recent rounds
  • Justin Barcia scored his first-ever Triple Crown Podium
  • Pierce Brown finished seventh overall on the slick and hardpacked surface in Glendale

450SX 

After a week off to recharge and work on scoring some better starts, #justinbarcia and the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory #racing Team were looking forward to getting back into action. Justin has been posting impressive results each week with his MC 450F Factory Edition. That trend continued in #glendale, where his 36-2 score across the three main events left him in third overall for the night, and helped bump him up a spot and into the top five of the 450 overall standings. 

Justin Barcia: “I felt good in qualifying today, and felt really comfortable on the bike. The team did a great job, and made great adjustments. The last main event was my best one. This is my first Triple Crown podium overall, so I'm stoked on that. I'm just super-stoked on my riding and the team, and I'm really looking forward to Atlanta. Keep going for that win.” 

250SX West
Though there were some spectacular moments, including a first turn crash (which was negated by an eventual red flag restart in the first main), and a spooky off-track excursion through the whoops, a consistent 4-4-5 score from the three mains netted a solid fourth overall in #glendale for Pierce Brown and his MC 250F Factory Edition. The finish also bumped him up a spot in the 250 West standings, to seventh overall. 

Pierce Brown: “I had three consistent mains, but they weren't good enough to satisfy me. I was a little bit off with my intensity. I struggled in the whoops all three mains, and that's what dictated the night. We have some stuff to work on. I'll take a fourth after some hectic weeks leading up to this. We're still building, and we'll be up to where we need to be before the end of the season.”
