Barcia and Mosiman to miss upcoming Unadilla MX National following separate practice crashes

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing’s #justinbarcia will not line up at this Saturday’s #unadilla MX National after suffering a big practice crash during the recent break from #racing. His 250MX teammate, #michaelmosiman, 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: “I’m definitely disappointed to say I won’t be heading to #unadilla this weekend – I’m a New York guy and it’s one of my favorite races – but I want to make sure I’m going there to win and if I’m not able to do that, I need to take my time and get back to 100%. I’m 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 I’ll see everyone very soon.”
 
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 I’m not going to be able to race #unadilla, I was looking forward to it and felt really good. I feel like I’ve got a lot of momentum at my back right now but I’m going to take the time to heal up 100% and be right so I can race at the front of the pack. I’ve already missed a race and I’m out for the championship so it’s better for me to race at 100% than to go and try to salvage at less than that. We’ll 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.
