Supercross: Justin Barcia And Weston Peick Updates
Shan Moore | February 10, 2015
Justin Barcia will miss this weekend’s super cross in Cowboys Stadium due to a hip injury.
AutoTrader.com/Toyota/Yamaha Team riders Justin Barcia and Weston Peick are both questionable for this weekend’s Texas round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series in Arlington, Texas. Both missed the San Diego round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series last week due to injuries.
Barcia crashed last Thursday while practicing for this weekend’s race, and flew home to Georgia to see his doctor regarding a suspected injury to his hip, and it was determined that he had a crack in his pelvic bone. According to a sources inside the team, the injury does not require surgery but Barcia will not be able to ride for at least two weeks, possibly longer. His status will be updated as his recovery progresses.
Meanwhile, Peick was injured two weeks before at the Phoenix round, and will be attempting to return to racing this Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Peick started riding yesterday for the first time since his injury and if he feels strong enough he will race. If he does not make the Dallas race he will be on the gate for the Atlanta round on February 21. Phillip Nicoletti will substitute for the injured Barcia. Fox Sports Two will broadcast the Dallas event live starting at 8:00 p.m. (EST).
