He won't need to do much Bam Bam'ing this year because he'll be out front on the new red bike.

that gets said every single time he changes brand, I expect him to do very well with 1-3 place finishes in the first 2-3 rounds then be a 4-8th place getter from there on, not a hating comment before someone says that, just my guess of his predicted results

I think Justin will be up in the mix even more than ever. Seems like a good fit for him after he built himself back up on team Yamaha

JB51 is a punk. But makes watching moto more fun, so I am torn. Kinda like the potus thang.

I wouldn’t say he’s a punk. He grew up practically living out of a roached box van. Family sold everything for him to ride. his bikes were clapped out ( not Phil level) but close. He rides with heart. He races like he’s fighting for his next meal. Hes rode that way since 65’s

I mean, both can be true. He's certainly acted like a punk plenty of times.

I mean he won supercross and motocross races in year 2 and 3 of his latest contract. That Yamaha wasn’t the most consistent bike from round to round. Mix that with a deep field and it’s easy to see why sometimes he can crush and sometimes he is battling for 5th. That’s motocross, only a select handful in history lived on the podium week in and week out.

Huge Fan. Did not know this about the Barcia fam.. If true it makes me even more of a fan. Been one since those crf150 commercials when I was like 10. Always dug that he was a Honda kid and would hang up the 150 ads on my wall from the red rider magazines back in the day. Also that Vurb platinum video was iconic to me. That was shit 2012? Crazy.. didn’t feel long ago at all.

People riding for their next meal dont cross 3 ruts to take out privateers.

A fast comfy Bam is good for the sport. When he’s flowing, no one makes you want to ride more than him (Ironman second moto still fires me up)

I don’t care what say about him, but this sport needs more bambam’s.

Whether you agree or not, ultimately this sport is a show, and there’s not many that provide as much excitement as Barcia, no matter if he’s in 10th or fighting for a win.

Just like Reed, the older he gets the more of a fan I am.

Give em hell this year JB51

Non-contract year I presume.... he'll be back in his normal 7-15th regardless of bike....

^^This!!^^

I love his style and watching him ride. Adds a tangible excitement factor to every race he's in, especially if he's up front. A real Bob Hannah protege.
