Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing announced on Wednesday that Justin Barcia will make his return to racing this weekend at round 14 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship in Philadelphia.
Barcia has been sidelined since the opening round of the championship due to injuries sustained in a brutal crash with Malcolm Stewart on the opening lap of the season.
“I am excited to come back for Supercross despite there being a lot of unknown,” Barcia said in a team release. “I haven’t been on the gate since early January so obviously a bit of unknown but I am excited to be back with my team, seeing all the fans, and getting back into the swing of things. I think it will be a good little warm up before Motocross. Obviously, it’s a lot different but a gate drop is a gate drop. It will be good to see where the bike is at, and have some fun, and see where we are at.”
Barcia will race the final three rounds of Supercross to get more seat-time in advance of the Pro Motocross season opener at Fox Raceway on May 30.
