Looks like Barcia will easily be fit enough come January. I hope he gels with the tuning fork!

Sport class. There are only 3 cat's. Beginner , Sport and Expert / Pro. He raced 19 - 29 sport.
11/3/2014 8:42pm
WTF? He is a professional athlete with Johnny O as his personal trainer and he is racing the 'sport' class. How about 'no class'!

Don't complain about him racing sport.....last year he raced in the beginner class at a round in Tallahassee. RC did the same thing several years ago when he was still racing. He raced beginner, But in their defense I have to say Im sure they need to get their feet wet and understand the format. But by Barcia's lap times he is in the right class. The guys that are winning the expert class in his age cat. were turning laps about 3 min. a lap faster.

I follow Johnny on Strava and I know he was in Florida too, do you know if Johnny raced that day ? Results !

Oh... And what's with Barcia listing GT as his sponsor, but riding a Cannondale ? Are they owned by the same company now ?

Only Cannondale, they do things a little differently to the others. Personally non of it interests me but some people love what they do...

On the official scoring it shows GT next to his name, which I assume is a sponsor along with the others listed. Yet he is on a Cannondale, whats up with that?

Johnny raced the next day I believe. Check out is instagram for the exact details.

Guess one of the guys didnt show up on the podium because he was pissed Johnny was racing in the younger guys class.

Yeah sport with all the pro level guys riding in it, as most of those events are filled with sand baggers...and the sport class is still as fast as the elite level guys, go check the times produced at the event.

johnny o was not at hailes trails racing.if so, he would of been on the line with the class im in.the new race structure would not allow him to race in a class other than his age category.if he was racing "the next day",that would be a Monday.no mtb race was held Monday.
the gt thing,i believe is a mistake.barcia was with specialized last season when with Honda.maybe gt was the jgr bike deal early on,but changed to canondale?
