A concussion evaluation means Justin Barcia will miss this weekend’s Monster Energy Supercross round in Atlanta, Georgia, the team has reported.

The Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing Team rider crashed while training at his compound in Florida.

Barcia underwent a medical check at the Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic (TOC) and is being evaluated for a concussion and as a precautionary measure, which means he’s unable to compete at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
