JUSTIN BARCIA INJURY UPDATE: BROKEN COLLARBONE, SHOULDER & RIBS

The Nashville Supercross marked Justin Barcia’s 66th consecutive start, which was the longest active streak. Unfortunately, that streak will end this weekend as he is now sidelined with an injury. Justin’s crash a the 2023 Nashville Supercross was not pretty. He went over the bars on the dragon’s back jump which led into the whoop section, and immediately you could tell he was hurt.

Justin and the team waited until Thursday morning following the race to release an update. Justin explained that he broke his collarbone, shoulder, and two ribs in the crash, but he didn’t give a timeline for his return to racing. We know he’ll at least be out for the final two Monster Energy Supercross rounds, and, depending on how bad the shoulder injury is, it will be difficult for Barcia to be on the line at the opening Round of the Pro Motocross season, as it will be here only four weeks after his crash.

Unfortunately, the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas team is completely out of riders at the moment. Their 250 East rider, Michael Mosiman, crashed out at the Daytona Supercross and got a concussion. He is back healthy and riding again, but he’s training for the opening round of Outdoors at Fox Raceway, on May 27th. Also, Pierce Brown, the 250 West rider for GasGas, recently broke his hand in a practice crash while preparing for the final two rounds of the season at Denver (this Saturday) and Salt Lake City, Utah, next weekend.

JUSTIN BARCIA:

Justin Barcia: “Hey guys, what’s up. It’s been a tough few days, but I just wanted to give everybody an update. I had surgery on Monday on my collarbone. That’s feeling a lot better today. I ended up breaking two ribs and broke my right shoulder. The shoulder doesn’t need any surgery, so that’s great. I’m feeling a lot better today and the next few days are just going to keep getting better and better. Hopefully, I can start training soon, obviously not dirt bike for a little bit. But I just want to give a shoutout to everybody this season. It definitely for me was my best mental and physical Supercross season. I really enjoyed it, had a lot of fun. Definitely, a bummer to go out this way. Things happen though, it’s motorcycles and I can’t wait to be back racing hard and stronger than ever.”
