Barcia & Peick sign with Yamaha

It’s been confirmed that the Toyota/Yamaha/JGRMX squad has signed former Team Honda Muscle Milk rider, Justin Barcia, and former RCH Suzuki rider, Weston Peick, for season 2015.

Barcia started off his professional career with a bang, winning the AMA Rookie of the Year award in 2009. He followed that early success with two 250SX Eastern Regional Championships. That same success followed Barcia when he moved up to the 450 Class, as he won two 450SX races in his first season and took home the 2013 AMA 450 Class Rookie of the Year award. Already a proven winner with an intensity that is unrivaled, Barcia is looking forward to the start of the 2015 Season.

“I have met everyone over at Joe Gibbs Racing and already feel like part of the family, I am excited to start riding and training for the 2015 season,” said Justin Barcia, who has been recovering from ankle surgery earlier in the season.

Joining Barcia on the team is perennial underdog and fan favourite, Weston Peick. A long-time Yamaha rider, Weston, had a breakthrough season in 2014 and looks forward to carrying that momentum into the 2015 season now that he’s back on board a YZ450F.

“I couldn’t be more excited to see what the future holds for the Toyota/Yamaha/JGRMX team,” said Yamaha Motor Corporation Racing Division Manager, Keith McCarty. “With Barcia and Peick under the tent and the improved 2015 YZ450F at their disposal, it should be a very exciting year.”
