DIRT NEWS
breakout first win of the year onboard the current MC 450F Factory Edition at East Rutherford and he carried that momentum by picking up the Heat race win in Tennessee . He had starred throughout the series , achieving no less than six podiums before being injured , and comfortably featuring inside the top-five in points . “ The shoulder doesn ’ t need any surgery , so that ’ s great ,” Barcia said . “ I ’ m feeling a lot better today and the next few days are just gonna keep getting better , and better , and better – hopefully I can start training soon . Obviously , not on the dirt bike for a little bit , but just wanted to give a shoutout to everyone this season . It was definitely , for me , my best – mentally and physically – Supercross season and I really enjoyed it , had a lot of fun . Definitely a bummer to go out this way , but things happen though , and I can ’ t wait to be back , racing hard , and stronger than ever .”
Troy Lee Designs / Red Bull / GASGAS Factory Racing 250SX West entry Pierce Brown has also been affected by injury after breaking his hand while preparing for the Pro Motocross Championship . With three top-five results to his credit in 2023 , his best result of fourth came in Glendale last month riding his MC 250F Factory Edition . “ I ’ m bummed to end the season early due to a broken hand ,” Brown said . “ Myself and the team work too hard to bring back no results . I ’ m on the mend now and will be doing everything possible to get back for as many of the remaining outdoor rounds as possible .” The addition of both Barcia and Brown being out sees them join Troy Lee Designs / Red Bull / GASGAS Factory Racing teammate Michael Mosiman in recovery mode , with the team now focused on recovery .
