Barcia and his future

9/6/2017 8:09pm
Barcia's talent and speed is still in him he just needs to get his head right which is the hardest thing to do in any professional sport, I hope he gets there hes a hell of a rider.

Because they are haters. No matter what the kid does he is doomed by some. There is such a double standard when it comes to Justin. There are very few guys on the gate who have had as much success as he has had on a 450 when he is healthy. Unfortunately he has been hurt a lot and he has tried to ride through it, case in point this yr. the kid has had serious injuries and has tried to come back when he probably shouldn't have. He was out 2 of the last 3 nationals with a head injury. In all fairness he probably shouldn't have raced Indiana or the MXGP but those are decision that he has to deal with it. He is not Roczen, Dungey or Tomac but he certainly belongs in that next group of 450 riders IMHO.
I don't think I'd be classified as a Barcia hater, even though I always wanted to pronounce his name to rhyme with Garcia instead of Marcia.......!

I think the negativity that seems to come out with Barcia is that expectations were so high for him, and it really looked like he was going to meet or exceed those expectations. He won a couple of SX 450 races in his rookie season, which is a phenomenal accomplishment. We expect more from Barcia than we do from a Broc Tickle or Justin Bogle simply because he's proven that he should be able to accomplish more. He just hasn't seemed to live up to expectations, including his own, his employer's, and the fans'. He's a huge talent, with some good results, but it'd be hard to say that his talent was truly fulfilled in the 450 class.

I hope he gets a decent ride, and if it's incentive based I hope he is able to stay healthy and fulfill that immense potential of his.

I'll be rooting for him.

You are joking but Barcia's money could create at least 10 McDonalds, which most of us can't. If in the future he comes to one his McDonald's it will still be in R8. If he works as a crew member it will be just for a week to know what job it is.

I just hope he lands a ride because he still young, made a few mistakes, got injured 3 times at least at the wrong time, but i think he still has a lot left in the tank to make the top 5.

You either over-estimate Barcias worth or under-estimate the cost of a McD franchise.

Nonetheless, time tells only the truth. We will see what happens.

I bet he is not at A1.

It is bummer where Barcia is at right now and I agree with what others have said her, he needs time to heal from the concussion. Brain injuries are not a joke and many sports now are finally taking it very seriously with extended time away from the activity to give the brain time to heal.

Having worked with people who went through a concussion, including getting one myself, there are at least two weeks the patient should avoid doing things such as watching TV, reading books or staying in bright areas. Sounds crazy right? Sound difficult to do, however testing and monitoring brains after a concussion has shown this helps speed up the healing process and get the brain back to where it was functioning before. After that time there is still a slow ramp up to physical activity. ( as a wrestling coach I have had two wrestlers go through this and it drove them nuts, but their brain was more important then anything they would do on the mat that season).

Watching our stars, from Stewart to Barcia, nobody is taking the proper amount of time to heal, NONE of them. The brain is still damaged and they are out riding and knocking it around again. Imagine breaking an angle of fibula and then a few days later deciding to go run a marathon. Not good, it will not heal properly and most likely damage it more.

Barcia has shown the speed, skill and talent to be that top guy, he needs an advocate on his side that can get him to take it down enough to heal while communicating with his team properly.

Barcia will land on his feet. Only a handful of guys in the world have the potential to podium in SX.

Honestly I don't see any factory team picking him up. Bogle and Tickle both have put in better results recently, Reeds situation is still unknown, and to my knowledge Josh Grant has no contact (but who knows if he even wants to race anymore). I don't know exactly what Bracia makes, or wants to make but he sure loved to flex back and forth with KR94 to see who has more money. A step back to look at everything and get in the right frame of mind may be exactly what he needs to get back to the level we all want to see him at.

Not a huge fan...but our sport is better with Barcia in it, so I hope he lands on his feet with a solid bike/team.

And, true...only a handful of riders have "the potential" to podium in SX, but when is the last time Justin has done it, even on full factory equipment & with a big-buck contract?

A step back to look at everything and get in the right frame of mind may be exactly what he needs to get back to the level we all want to see him at.
Josh Grant is signed with Factory Kawi again. But as far as Barcia is concerned, I have no idea at all. I like that idea about Redemption Racing and their interest to race Supercross but I think there is maybe a 10% chance that happens simply because I don't see Barcia riding for free.

Justin is a year or two younger then me, growing up in NY before he left he was always just a little bit behind me, age wise not on the track, He was never behind me on the track for more then a few seconds. Since he is reaching what I feel are the most critical years as a professional, if he is not going to get the kind of deal that will let him put in good results he is better off going the Dean-O route then settling for some sub-par equipment.

I have heard through the grape vine that supposedly he has offers from more then one team. But I have no idea what teams, what kind of salary if at all, or anything. The only thing I do know for sure is that he better already be figuring this out, and he better have a backup plan set in stone and ready to go. I do not want to see this guy missing for the starting gate in 2018

I'd say he's made it better than the newly signed KTM rider BrocTickle. (Although Barcia's $$ was probably a lot lot higher at the time)

As others have said..Barcia was expected to win more and be at least a regular podium guy.. but sheit.. there can only be 3 on the steps! I like watching him ride and hope he shows what he's got next year.

KTM will pick up Barcia for nothing. They already ran a 3 man team and I doubt Tickle is taking much of a salary.

My first job was at a McDonalds and I worked there for 3 years. I Still have a couple friends I met there still working. Im also friends with the owners of that McDonalds (they own another 6)
Anyways, working at mcdonalds was great. Developed great work ethic, working with a team and hooked up with a few girls there. ShIT WAS GREAT lmao Barcia would be so lucky haha
PLUS nobody ever spit in anyones food or did anything gross. However, I know not all stores are the same and even now years later I critique every fast food joint I enter haha

Barcia should go to Husqy I think hed look good on it

It would suck to be part of that mountain. Especially if you would rather be a on a smaller bike. Who decided that all the best pros have to race a 450?

I used to be a huge Barcia fan. Unfortunately things change and results are King for getting a ride. It looks like he will get what he deserves, a second tier ride with little in the way of pay. I for one hope that is his wake up call and he gets back up to podium status.
9/7/2017 1:47pm
I'm just going to go ahead and be the one to say that for a guy like Barcia, the Jetworks $100,000.00 looks very very temping if He couldn't get a good ride (pay and or equipment) here in the states. If I were to wake up tomorrow and have "Freaky Friday-ed" places with Justin Barcia, you would probably see me racing both in the states and in Canada as much as possible on the best equipment I could get my hands on. Even if that means having to do it out of a van.

Call me crazy but if that Jetworks series continues to innovate like they have been, I would not be shocked to see "seasoned" pros deciding to take their skills north of the boarder to close out their career. And of course as a former "manager" of the worlds jankiest team, If Feld (and MX Sports) would follow what's happening in Canada then we might be able to have some more second and third tier teams for these riders to go to.
