2021 Season Recap

Barcia had his strongest 450SX Class Supercross season on record in 2021 after making a unique switch the GASGAS bike, the bike manufacturer out of Spain who made its Supercross debut with Barcia in 2021. Barcia started off strong as he usually by taking the overall win in Round 1, his third year in a row capturing the season opening victory. He followed that performance up with an additional nine top-five finishes, three of which were podium spots. Barcia landed in 4th on the season ending standings, a positive step towards contending for his first overall title.

2022 Outlook

Barcia enters his second and final year with GASGAS, that we know of, and will look to contend for his first 450SX Class Supercross title while setting sights on a strong returning top-three in Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen, and Cooper Webb. If Bam Bam can consistently mix it up with in the top five in 2022 then the sky is the limit for the number 51 rider.
