AMA Pro Motocross Justin Barcia Unadilla Michael Mosiman
Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racings Justin Barcia will not line up at this Saturdays Unadilla MX National after suffering a big practice crash during the recent break from racing.
His 250MX teammate, Michael Mosiman, also endured a practice crash during the time off and he will join Barcia on the sidelines for the upcoming eighth round of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship in New York.
Barcia, Round 6 overall winner in the 450MX class, suffered a pretty big crash last week during a routine practice session. After consulting with his doctor, the New York native will take the rest of this week off before re-assessing for future races.
Justin Barcia: Im definitely disappointed to say I wont be heading to Unadilla this weekend Im a New York guy and its one of my favourite races but I want to make sure Im going there to win and if Im not able to do that, I need to take my time and get back to 100 per cent. Im definitely going to miss the whole team there, all the supportive fans and of course being on the gate and racing for those wins but Ill see everyone very soon.
Michael Mosiman
As for Mosiman, the 250MX class front-runner experienced a separate practice crash this week while preparing for the upcoming Unadilla National. Despite being pretty banged up, Mosiman has high hopes of returning to racing at Budds Creek for Round 9.
Michael Mosiman: I am super bummed that Im not going to be able to race Unadilla, I was looking forward to it and felt really good. I feel like Ive got a lot of momentum at my back right now but Im going to take the time to heal up 100 per cent and be right so I can race at the front of the pack. Ive already missed a race and Im out for the championship so its better for me to race at 100 per cent than to go and try to salvage at less than that. Well come back stronger hopefully very soon.
Teammate Pierce Brown will represent the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing squad in the 250MX class this weekend in New York, where he aims to secure his first podium finish of the season.
