Unfortunately, @justinbarcia will be sidelined for this weekend's Budd Creek National. Full press release: HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (August 17, 2017) – After consulting with his doctor, Autotrader/Suzuki/JGRMX team rider Justin Barcia has not been cleared to race this weekend’s round of the 2017 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship series at Budds Creek. This unfortunate news comes as the result of Justin Barcia crashing in the final practice session at Washougal. Barcia was looking forward to racing Budds Creek on Saturday, a track he has fond memories of racing at. In 2015, “Bam Bam” won the overall against a stacked field. Since turning pro in 2009, Justin hasn’t placed worse than fifth overall at Budds Creek, with an average overall finish of 2.85. We will provide an update on Justin Barcia’s status for the final round of the series, to be held at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on August 26th.

Thought his doctor had cleared him to the last weekend and him not riding was due to a lack of communication???

Yeah when I heard that interview I was thinking it sounded like Barcia didn't actually go/get cleared by his doctor the first time.

Not smart to fuck around with a rattled brain. Listen to the doctors.

That story sounded like complete bullshit and this kind of proves it was.

Like I mentioned last week, I think we've already seen Barcia's last race on a Suzuki. This feels like fodder.

your statement is above the cognitive abilities of the haters posting on this thread Wink

I hope Bam Bam gets a good ride for next year and kills it! (if I had my way he would be C Webb's teammate )

I know its been said that helmets can't prevent concussions, but 3 in the last year wearing an Arai is a little disturbing for those of us with the same lid.

Right before the contract is up is when Bam Bam normally pours it on. With him being sidelined, that is gonna make it awfully tough for him...

Lol, the word "Cognitive" is probably above most of the readership

Best bet for him. If RedBull/KTM said "no"...it's the closest he might get to a factory ride, because JGR IS a factory ride.

^^^^ Exactly this right here. I don't think he wanted to ride and is waiting this season out.

I believe he is riding for free this year. Only money coming in is outside sponser money like AStar gear, monster, etc.

I heard this at the beginning of the year. His contract was contingent on riding Yamaha to be paid. Nothing out there so he continued with JGR. Better than sitting out and being forgotten.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Bogle?

Helmets help prevent concussions. Not always well, but help is help.

I can guarantee you barcia will have a ride. Not many guys can contend for top 5s every week with a chance at the occasional podium. Whether his ride comes here or the GP's should be the real question.
