JUSTIN BARCIA CELEBRA L’INIZIO STAGIONE COL PODIO SUPERCROSS 2022 AD ANAHEIM!

Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing ha apprezzato il clamore che circonda il round di apertura del campionato AMA Supercross 2022 e siamo entusiasti della prima esperienza “A1” del nostro team! Justin Barcia ha avuto un’ottima prestazione al Round 1, consegnando a GASGAS il nostro primo podio ad Anaheim SX nella classe 450SX super stacked. Inoltre, il compagno di squadra Michael Mosiman ha ottenuto una vittoria in una gara di qualifica nella divisione 250SX West, seguita da una performance combattuta nel Main Event dall’ultimo al sesto posto.

Per tre volte vincitore consecutivo del Round 1, stasera tutti gli occhi erano puntati su Barcia per vedere se sarebbe arrivato al quarto di fila. Qualificandosi decimo all’inizio della giornata, BAMBAM si è messo subito al lavoro combattendo in testa nella prima gara di qualifica della notte. Ha mantenuto un ritmo costante a bordo della sua MC 450F, alla fine effettuando una carica in ritardo per assicurarsi il quarto posto nella manche.

Con una classe piena di battitori pesanti, il Main Event 450SX è stato pieno di eccitazione dall’inizio alla fine. Barcia ha ottenuto un inizio tra i primi cinque ed è riuscito a sistemare il caos iniziale al quarto posto. Guidando pazientemente per tutta la prima metà della gara, Barcia si è preparato per capitalizzare una posizione sul podio più avanti nella gara. È passato al secondo posto a metà percorso ed è stata una battaglia fino al traguardo tra Barcia e il campione in carica, Cooper Webb, che alla fine lo ha passato nel finale. Tutti sorrisi sul podio, Barcia si è divertito a festeggiare un podio per dare il via a una stagione divertente nel 2022!

Justin Barcia: “È stata una gara fantastica! Mi sono divertito molto e abbiamo avuto delle grandi battaglie là fuori. La pressione è diminuita ora e posso lavorare su me stesso, continuare a collegarmi e divertirmi. È stata una grande offseason e è solo un bene togliere di mezzo questa prima gara. Sono contento del risultato, è un buon podio e abbiamo sicuramente alcune cose su cui costruire. Non vedo l’ora che arrivi la prossima gara, legando con i ragazzi, che si divertono e ci provano!”

JUSTIN BARCIA CELEBRATES A PODIUM KICK-OFF TO THE 2022 SUPERCROSS SEASON IN ANAHEIM!

TROY LEE DESIGNS/RED BULL/GASGAS FACTORY RACING FIRED UP FOR THE NEW YEAR OF RACING

Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing enjoyed the hype surrounding the opening round of the 2022 AMA Supercross Championship and we’re stoked our team’s first “A1” experience! Justin Barcia had a great showing at Round 1, delivering GASGAS our first Anaheim SX podium in the super stacked 450SX class. Additionally, teammate Michael Mosiman claimed a heat-race win in the 250SX West division, followed by a hard-fought Main Event performance from dead last to a sixth-place finish.
  • Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing experienced the iconic “A1”
  • Justin Barcia delivers GASGAS our first Anaheim SX podium in the 450SX class!
  • Michael Mosiman scored his first 250SX heat-race win of the season
As a three-time consecutive Round 1 winner, all eyes were on Barcia tonight to see if he would make it four-in-a-row. Qualifying 10th earlier in the day, BAMBAM got right down to business battling up front in the first heat race of the night. He kept a steady pace aboard his MC 450F, ultimately making a late charge to secure fourth in the heat.
 
With a class full of heavy hitters, the 450SX Main Event was full of excitement from start to finish. Barcia grabbed a top-five start and he managed the early chaos to settle into the fourth spot. Riding patiently through the first half of the race, Barcia set himself up to capitalize on a podium position later in the race. He moved into second around the midway point and it was a battle to the finish between Barcia and the defending champ, Cooper Webb, who ultimately edged him out for the spot. All smiles on the podium, Barcia enjoyed celebrating a podium finish to kick off a fun season in 2022!
 
Justin Barcia: “That was an awesome race! I had a lot of fun and we had some great battles out there. The pressure is off now and I can work on myself, keep plugging along and having fun. It’s been a great offseason and it’s just good to get this first race out of the way. I’m happy with the result, it’s a good podium finish, and we definitely have some things to build on. I’m really looking forward to the next race, bonding with the guys, having fun and going for it!”
 
Mosiman had a great start to the day, placing his MC 250F into second overall in qualifying. He didn’t get off to the best start in the heat race but he rallied his way from sixth up to first by the halfway point and he held strong to secure the heat-race win by six seconds.
 
In the Main Event, Mosiman found himself buried off the start and he was forced to fight his way through traffic early on. However, he made a mistake and went down in the whoops, dropping him back to dead last before the end of the first lap. Mosiman wasted no time charging back through the field, breaking into the top-10 by the midway point. He began to hit his stride later in the race and he finished strong with an impressive comeback of sixth-place on the night.
 
Michael Mosiman: “Anaheim I is in the books and boy was it a crazy one! I had so much fun throughout the day, honestly more fun than I’ve ever had at a SX. I felt super confident on the bike and everything was clicking, just riding well within my abilities. It’s unfortunate how the main started out and once I was back in the pack, it’s pretty hectic back there, but I’m proud of how I rode and I’m leaving with a ton of positives. I think I’m very much in it for the championship and very healthy and couldn’t ask for anything more.”
 
The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing Team will return to racing next Saturday, January 15 for Round 2 in Oakland, California.
