After his scary crash on his AMA Supercross Ducati debut, Justin Barcia has provided an update and considering how badly things looked, he seems to be relatively okay.
Barcia provided the following update on his social media pages:
“What’s up guys? I hope everyone is well. Just wanted to get back to everyone. Scary night yesterday. It was tough practice sessions, qualifier went better and then the main event wasn’t good. Unfortunately, someone rolled the triple, I was already committed and I’m pretty sure that’s about all I remember from there – a tough one. I am happy to say I was able to walk out of the hospital under my own power. I got extremely lucky. God was looking after me yesterday. It was a really scary one, it really shows you one minute everything can be going good and the next minute it can be gone like that. I’m extremely beat up”.
“I’ve throughout my career had some heavy hits, but this one is the heaviest of them. I’ve never been so sore in my life. I can’t really move my neck, my back hurts really bad. That was a big worry for us, my back and I got away with it. I only broke a little wing on my back so no surgery. My spine is stable. Everything’s really good so I just need to recover from here on out”.
“But I’m thinking my body’s feeling okay. Obviously, it’s really sore. I think the next few days will show a lot more stuff. But all in all, I think we’re good. I appreciate everyone reaching out to me, sticking behind me. I haven’t seen the crash yet and I don’t think I really want to see it. I heard it was pretty bad”
“Thank you everyone very much, I appreciate it. The first race on Ducati was going good and unfortunately, these things happen and looking forward to getting back out with my team. Thank you and see you soon”.
