Was looking on instagram and seen somebody asked if barcia would be on the 18 suzuki and jgrmx responded Yep, That's the plan. So maybe Justin does stay at JGR next year?

I don't think the conversation went how you think it did. I'm pretty sure Whimple's "Barcia also?" is meant as "Is Barcia also racing Unadilla?" to which JGR responded "That's the plan!" They even clarified again by saying "As far as we know Justin will be racing this weekend. No one is racing the 2018 bike until the Nationals are over."
Justin may very well stay at JGR, but this isn't the hint or evidence you're looking for.

I think Justin has a better chance on staying on a solid, factory-supported bike by taking advantage of a JGR deal...if he's offered one, than by playing the field.

When Matthes had Jbone on the other night, matthes clearly asked him if phil was coming back and jbone said yes, that he owed him a shot since he was injured a lot. Then matthes clearly asked about Barcia and jbone said, "yea, I mean all this stuff Is still up in the air" and didn't say yes, he is coming back. Hope he does but that kinda made me feel like he didn't want to say for sure.

Barcia will be on KTM next year. Don't you guys think it's funny that there top rider wasn't featured in the 2018 bike launch and the bike had Peick's graphics on it? it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he's not gonna be there next year.

I guess suzuki will have a lot to say about that now.
First I thought barcia will end up a taking andersons spot because there was talk that ja21 wants on the new ktm but now with reed in the mix for a ktm spot...things look a bit different.

"That's the plan!" is a very nice way of saying "We can't say we fired him yet"...

I honestly hope Barcia is on ktm next year also but I know he would be losing allot of $$$ Allot! So that's why I could also see him staying at JGR and seeing how he does on the new suzuki. I know the bikes not the problem but I think if he were to go to ktm and either train with baggett( says he already invited barcia out to his ranch) or redull ktm guys I thonk it would be good for him and a big confidence booster!

I want to see Barcia on a factory 350. If there is a rider that can do that bike justice its him. His over rev style of riding would be great with that bike i think.

I hope he leaves JGR. I'm sorry but something about that team doesn't work. This is just speculation and my opinion but look at other riders past and present.

I wouldn't bet any money on that, if I were you. Just as good of chance of being there, than not....

I dont see thay happening, Anderson has a contract with Husky thru 2018 and i dont see Anderson leaving the team hes on. Bobby Hewitt has been very loyal to Anderson and Anderson has been very loyal to him. With KTM coming out with a all new factory edition bike for SX, i dont see why Husky cant do the same thing since theyre basically the same thing.

Whatever is going on, the Dominoes should start falling soon. Need to resurrect the thread with all riders, availability, etc.

JGR has 2 riders who aren't progressing, they'd do better to start with at least one fresh 450 guy. The press conference bike says the one staying isn't number 51.

Henry Miller to JGR/Suzuki makes sense on several levels. Miller seemed to speak exceptionally high of the new yellow bike effort when he was on a Matthes pod recently after the 450 launch @ JGR. Miller and Filthy on the 250 East effort is my prediction..
