Welcome back to the latest format of @Ping!

I am a big fan of both Jason and Justin. They both would have fit perfectly when I started motocross in 1970. They epitomize the character of mx/sx. Clearly, Barcia passed Anderson, period. Next, Anderson plowed into Barcia, who was in front of him and then fell down. Knowing Anderson, I bet he cursed himself in his helmet for being stupid for taking the long line and not protecting the inside. Barcia just did what he gets paid for and that's try to win. If I'm gas gas I'm happy with my boy. Now we have a striped shirt with a whistle docking the guy who got hit for 3 points. I like the old days when the gate drops and it's pure non-stop controlled chaos.

I dig how Ping gets to the point that if it's a dirty move you'll know it, at least you should if you look at it without bias. I'll add that there seems to be an over abundance of pride these days, where alot of these guy's aren't shutting off for nothin! Nobody likes getting block passed, there's a humiliation factor to it that someone made you shutoff, but some of the best races were full of that kind of riding. Remember Ward and Chicken at Seattle?

When Barcia put his hand up after the incident it was judged to be a racist hand gesture and he was heard saying “sorry about the election integrity.” Automatic -3 points.

Apart from both of these serious crimes, there is no reason he was penilized.

I absolutely agree with rubbings racing! Anderson ran into the back of him and Ping is exactly right. The AMA is turning this into a pussy sport and Ping couldn't have said it any better. WTF races will now be decided on a the officials rulings instead of who finished the race FIRST? Such pussies is right and makes me sick.

THIS ^ you pussies. For the life of me, I could not see what Barcia did wrong. He did not go in the wrong direction, he did not “T” bone Anderson, he block passed him.
@ping needs to be the AMA czar. Jay Bone needs to go home to NC and let the racers race.
