I know Justin Barcia hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire lately as far as results or any kind of consistency goes...but there's been virtually no rumblings as to where he might go for 2026, if he goes at all. Will Rockstar field a factory GasGas team next year? If not, does anybody have any clue as to where BamBam might land? Looks like the full-on factory OEM teams are either loaded already with championship contenders, or they're waiting for the key players (Sexton...) to find their seat.

There's been a ton of speculation of him going to Troy Lee /Ducati ?

Does the Ducati have a rev limiter?

Ducati isn't a lock and he's talked to a bit of everyone. Justin is in a weird spot, could end up in a few different places but nothing is really close to done.

Man, I miss BamBam's 250 days, just floating those valves and watching every mechanic in earshot cringe 😄

I get the Ducati thing, if not only because of his relationship with Troy Lee for so long, but do you REALLY think he'll land on a real factory team? That is...if you can comment to that.

Dear Baby Jesus - please let Bam stick around long enough to punt Deegs out of the entire stadium with the most epic T-bone in history. It simply must happen. That will be the true "passing of the torch" to the next "BamBam". Thanks. Amen.

RPM should be no issue with the Desmo valvetrain

                   I do not see Bam and Eli on the same team. It is my recollection that these two gentlemen do not much care for each other. However, money makes for strange bedfellows.

Dude was a blast to watch ride a 250, and still has got to be in the conversation of "Who's winning A1?" The only mistake he ever made, was leaving Honda, IMO.

That would be a dream, if he ended up getting fined I would contribute to it 😂

Lets say a 20 y/o was getting the same results that Bam Bam has had the last couple years, we’d all be excited and that kid would be a hot item. 

I do remember his rookie year where he was leading Dungey and Villopoto the entire moto of a national but relinquished the lead a few laps from the end.  Bam was flying.

….and wouldnt it fun to just have the experience of being the 20th place rider in SX for one night? Being top ten would be greedy.

He would just see him on weekends.  I'm sure it could work out.

Mr. Irrelevant for the SX season. Here’s hoping he gets in rolling outdoors

Bam gets a lot of hate but he’s alright in my book, I recall him on a beat up Honda not to long ago trying to get a ride and wasn’t his dad the mechanic?

I think with Chiz out, he need to get on that Suzuki think the handling would suit him.

I think Barcia's worst season was when JGR switched to Suzuki. I don't think he has the fondest memories of the RMZ!

Wherever he ends up, it'll be the best he's ever felt, and they'll continue to find things on the bike each week to keep building. Yeah, no, for sure.

"Honda"

You spelled "Yamaha" wrong!

Yeah true, however back then you had to live out there ride their tracks there was allot that made it hard for a few who had to follow their program.
