The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory #racing Team has been playing a bit of catch-up through the latter part of the Pro #motocross season since both #piercebrown and #justinbarcia were injured and couldn’t put in a lot of work on bike setup before the team headed outdoors. But with a press day to experiment, and two solid motos for Justin, the weekend proved productive.
450 MX
Considering that #justinbarcia was in only his second race back aboard his MC 450F Factory Editionsince returning from injury, he put in an impressive ride in #moto one. Justin was among the leaders heading into the first turn but slipped into third spot by the end of the first lap. Battling with other competitors throughout the #moto, he dropped to as low as sixth place but worked back to finish fifth at the finish, hot on the rear wheel of the fourth-place finisher. In #moto two, Justin was third off the line and made a great move into the second corner to nail down the second position. He stayed there for a couple of laps before slipping to third, where he remained for much of the #moto as he battled other riders. With six laps to go, he was passed and moved to fourth, where he finished.
Justin Barcia: “It was definitely a more productive day here at Budds Creek. I qualified sixth after two good practices, and we kind of used this weekend as a testing session. It's hard coming back after being unable to test and do everything you need to do to prepare for the Nationals. Everyone has a lot of races under their belts, so we used press day as a test session, and then we changed the suspension going into the first #moto. It worked out well for us today. We had two good starts, and battled up front in both motos. All in all I was extremely happy with where I'm at for not being able to train or anything. This is like only my fourth 30-minute #moto since I started riding again, so considering that, I'm quite happy. We'll keep plugging along and working hard. I'm looking forward to Indiana and we'll keep building for SuperMotocross.”
250 MXWith a deep and talented field, #piercebrown was just outside of the top ten in the first #moto aboard his MC 250F Factory Edition. But a bobble on lap two dropped him into the mid-20s for position, so the rest of the #moto was spent working forwards to 15th. A tangle off the line in #moto two put Pierce deep into the pack, and from there it was a battle to climb back to 24th.
Pierce Brown: “It was a tough day for sure. I qualified decent in Q1, and in Q2 I struggled. After that I just couldn't find my flow. In #moto one I got a bad start and fell a couple laps in. When I restarted, I was in a pack of guys that weren't moving forward, and I couldn't move through them so it was tough. In #moto two I tangled with a rider right out of the gate and I got the worst end of the stick on that one. It's #racing. We'll bounce back next week at Ironman."
