Yet another “thank you” press release has hit our inboxes this morning, this time for Justin Barcia from GasGas. Barcia earned the brand’s first 450SX Monster Energy AMA Supercross main event win (he totaled two 450SX wins) and first AMA Pro Motocross Championship overall win during his years with the Troy Lee Designs/GasGas team. We expect Barcia’s new deal to be announced over the next few weeks, as it is reported he is going to race for the Troy Lee Designs Ducati Corse team.

The following press release is from GasGas:

GASGAS FACTORY RACING THANKS Justin Barcia FOR HISTORIC FIVE YEARS TOGETHER
AMERICAN SUPERSTAR ‘BAMBAM’ PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE IN THE BRAND’S RACING HISTORY!

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing would like to express its thanks to Justin Barcia after five historic years together in the AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross Championships, which included the brand’s first 450SX Main Event and 450MX overall victories.

• Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing thanks Justin Barcia
• The combination resulted in a RED-hot five years together!
• BAMBAM earned the brand’s first AMA 450SX and 450MX victories

Barcia initially joined the team and was equipped with the GASGAS MC 450F for the 2021 AMA Supercross season – incredibly winning their first 450SX Main Event together on debut in Houston! That maiden, history-making victory marked the inaugural time that GASGAS had won a Supercross Main Event.

BAMBAM would then go on to earn three more indoor podium finishes that year – as well as fourth overall in the final 450SX standings – before delivering GASGAS its first victory in Pro Motocross at the Spring Creek National that same season via a 1-2 moto scorecard.

Over the course of the four seasons that followed, Barcia would claim a haul of podium results both in Supercross and Pro Motocross, with another 450SX Main Event victory achieved at East Rutherford in 2023 onboard the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition model.

Barcia took fifth overall in both the 2022 and 2023 AMA Supercross Championships, further solidifying his legacy in helping to put GASGAS on the map in North American competition. In 2025, with Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing, BAMBAM placed 10th across the entire SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season.

Recognized for his charisma and dedicated style on the race track, the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team thanks the 33-year-old out of Monroe, New York,  for his unwavering approach to racing, and wishes him all the best in the future!
