Is he the next factory rider without a factory ride for next year? Assuming a couple of the lites guys move up next year there will be less rides in the 450 class. And the guy is the one thats struggling the most out of the factory riders.

I hope not. I hope he manages to get some results in SX mains maybe a podium or two and then hits his stride outdoors. In spite of being a interview goon I still dig watching him go fast especially outdoors.

Won a semi, making mains. If he stays healthy he'll be fine. Might even do quite well outdoors.

He got on the podium 3 times in the 2016 outdoors. He will be on a factory ride in US or the GPs but he wont earn even close to what he earns now(according to media, a top 5 in the sport at the moment).

No.
Barcia will be fitter and stronger next year and is riding fine considering he had a broken wrist 10 weeks ago.
Don't let personal dislike for the guy stand in the way of an honest opinion.
Barcia rips.

I would definitely be pumped on that. Not pumped or anything, it would just be good.

Barcia needs to seriously learn how to ride a 4-stroke 450. When that happens, the kid will be great.

Dude just came off a broken wrist. I'm sure he will pick it up last few rounds of SX & be a top 5 MX

Your an idiot, this guy has beaten many big names, Marvin, dungey, RV, won a moto at MXON...... he doesn't do the best at supercross. I would love to see him run a mxgp season.

Barcia is going nowhere, the teams are pretty clear when they sign a rider what they are getting. Barcia is a top 7 guy with a occasional podium if the stars align. JGR is very clear they are not winning a championship with barcia. Also barcia is more of a outdoor guy, he will do better imo.

Why are you calling names ?

He's right about Barcia over riding the 450. He's got a lot of talent, but we won't see all of it, until he figures it out.

Honest question : We all know Justin can rip , but if he hasn't figured out how to manage the throttle by now on a 450....do we all really think he'll learn it any time soon? I hope he does , because the dude does seriously have a load of talent. But he does also over ride those damn things. I never understood why either. He keeps the motor guys busy.

He will be on a factory ride next year. But man he has been strugglingggggg in SX. When's the last time he got top 5 in SX since he left Honda?
