The Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati team have released an update on Justin Barcia following the scary crash on the opening lap of the 450SX Main Event at A1 last night.

‘Barcia was conscious, coherent, answering questions and talking to the medical staff’ after the incident.

The team have advised they will be releasing more information later this week.

“To see both our riders and two Ducatis battling it out in the heat race was very exciting and a proud moment for the Ducati brand,” said Josh Wisenor, the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Team Manager. “Bam unfortunately got (tangled) up with Malcolm and had a big get off. Bam was conscious, coherent, answering questions, and talking to medical staff. He waved to the fans on their way out, so we’re taking the positives from that and will keep you posted as we learn more.”
