Justin Barcia Ends Tenure with GasGas as He Prepares for New Challenge
In a significant shift within the motorsports landscape, Justin Barcia will conclude his five-year partnership with GasGas, as confirmed by the brand’s mid-October announcement. This collaboration notably included Barcia’s historic victory at GasGas’s inaugural AMA Supercross race. Looking ahead, Barcia will join forces with Dylan Ferrandis for the 2026 season under the newly established Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing team.
Since turning professional in 2009, Barcia has amassed impressive statistics across various brands. His tenure with Honda stands out, where he recorded 16 wins and 53 podiums—his most substantial achievements. His time on Yamaha yielded 5 wins and 25 total podiums, while his results with GasGas include 3 wins and 20 podium finishes. Notably, Barcia’s stint with Suzuki in 2017 was less fruitful, failing to secure any podiums during that season.
The following table summarizes Barcia’s performance across his professional career:
| Brand | Wins | Total Podiums (Including Wins) |
|---|---|---|
| Honda | 16 | 53 |
| Yamaha | 5 | 25 |
| GasGas | 3 | 20 |
| Total | 24 | 98 |
As Barcia embarks on this new chapter with Ducati, the motorsports community anticipates how his expertise and experience will influence the competitive landscape in the coming seasons.
