The first major move of the 2013 silly season has been confirmed before the outdoors even begin, with Justin Barcia confirmed for Team Honda Muscle Milk.
Barcia won his second East Coast Supercross Lites title this season and wrapped up the season in Las Vegas this weekend with a win in the East/West Shootout.
Following Barcia’s win, he made the announcement that he will ride for the Team Honda Muscle Milk squad next year on a CRF450R.
“This is a dream come true, and I am looking forward to racing for Team Honda Muscle Milk,” said Barcia.
“I am happy to close out the season with a win; the track was difficult for me out there, but I was able to keep it together.”
The first time he will race for the new team will be at the Monster Energy Cup at Sam Boyd Stadium on 20 October.
Barcia impressed as a guest during last year’s Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series for the factory Honda team on a 450, but will ride this year’s outdoors in the 250 Class for GEICO Honda.
