We got some Silly Season news.
One of the first big pieces to the 2024 Silly Season puzzle has dropped. Justin Barcia is staying with Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas. Barcia announced after Atlanta he’s signed a new two-year deal with the team.
“Well, I signed something, so they’re stuck with me, for sure!” said Barcia after Atlanta. “Yeah, it seems like I got the go ahead to say I signed my contract for another two years. I think it’s a great partnership. I started when GasGas came [to the sport]. I think it’s a great partnership. I think they’re happy with me, obviously. I’m happy with them. I love the Austrian brand, the bike. They just spent a zillion dollars on that beautiful new building. They put in the effort on the tracks up there. And I give it 110 percent always. So, let’s finish out my career here.
“And another two years, will I be done? I don’t know, maybe,” he continued. “Probably not though. I’m feeling good, dude! I want to keep racing. Let’s go! Maybe we’ll see what happenes. But yeah, I’m stoked to be a part of the whole Troy Lee Designs family. I loved all these guys. It’s just a big family and I’m happy and I’m really proud and stoked to be a part of the team.”
Barcia landed his second consecutive podium in Atlanta and is fourth in 450SX points.
