Justin Barcia looked set to take third on the podium after holding off Aaron Plessinger until an over the bars faceplant in the whoops from nowhere ended his night and robbed him of a hard fought podium.
Barcia said: “Jersey was good today, I had a lot of fans and friends here – it was a lot of fun seeing people I hadn’t seen in a long time! I was riding really well, I had a good qualifying session and scored P3 in the Heat Race. Main Event, AP [Aaron Plessinger] and I were battling for a while, then I think he made a mistake and I gapped him, then I hit a soft spot in the whoop section, which sent me into an endo. I’m a little tore up and bruised up, so we’ll go home and try again next week. I feel like I’m saying that a lot lately, but dirt bikes are tough, so we’ll come back next weekend and keep trying!”
