If Barcia was "Clear" of Vincent BEFORE he cut over, well, then How the Hell did they collide?
The Shop
Have you lived your entire life without making mistakes?
What a tantrum.
"Big picture, we came in second and we earned a bunch more points. We're that much closer to where we want to be. I just feel bad that I let my emotions get the best of me at the end of the race. I went over to talk to Lance and I interfered with the Asterisks Medical Team and that was stupid. I apologize to all those guys big time.
"I had a great ride. It just didn't finish like I thought it would."
VurbMoto
The guy seems genuinely apologetic about it all.
People are nuts. We have keyboard jockeys on this thread categorizing and labeling his parents and they probably have never met them. We have others who know exactly what was going through Justin's mind and can tell us WHY he did what he did. Amazing that we have so many problems in this world with so many smart people around.
AGAIN, there is NO excuse for his actions towards Vincent and the medical staff. The kid acknowledged his mistake moments after doing it and admitted it was wrong. He absolutely should be more professional and I think he probably realizes that. The fact is that he lost a race due to a Lapper and I am sure it cost him more than the $5k fine imposed by the AMA. This isn't local Night SX races at the fair. This is the kids livelihood. He is putting food on his table by winning races. the more he wins the more he secures his future. I am sure you would feel different if a co worker or competitor messed with your livelihood. Not to mention if you had a clue how much his parents sacrificed and gave to get him where he is now, you may look at it a bit differently.....then again.....
$5.000,00 fine for Barcia was just posted on RacerX.
Purse and win bonuses 20K - 50K? maybe more.
It's not cheap having your own place and keeping it up. He must feel some pressure from that.
What he needs to remember is that representing factory Honda next year will pay better and they don't like any BS.
Roczen knows how Barcia feels.
Pit Row
Like I said....racing incident....nothing more.
It's on video for everyone to see.
2. Barcia crossed to the inside from outside as many riders had done all night. The line was not clear as Vincent came inside.
1. If you are a lapped rider don't ever, ever wreck the leader no matter what.
Like I said, it was racing.
"The fact is that he lost a race due to a Lapper and I am sure it cost him more than the $5k fine imposed by the AMA."
Even after the video and evidence you're blaming this on Vincent (the lapper). I think he lost the race because of a poor decision he made with a 8 - 9 second lead and a couple corners to go because he was immature and impatient. He could easily have backed it off a little bit, let Vincent and the guy Vincent was racing go so they could race each other, and still win the thing by a huge margin.
All this tells me is no matter what his decision was - there is no winning on this site. Somebody will always find fault in something that a rider did, even if they have no clue what they are talking about.
You would have done one thing, you would have slowed down, and somebody else would have done another thing and sped up.
And Barcia did what he probably thought was right at the time, but got hit by a lapper in the end.
No matter what you do - you can't win on this site. There will always be somebody with the opposite opinion of yours.
You:
"but got hit by a lapper in the end."
Huckster:
"The fact is that he lost a race due to a Lapper and I am sure it cost him more than the $5k fine imposed by the AMA."
Keep in mind that it wasn't Vincent that was throwing a tantrum like some three year old baby that didn't get his way.
I just wonder if that was RV, KW or your favorite rider going for the win and that happened if some of you would feel differently. Or better yet, if he had not acted like he did, would you view the "racing incident" differently? I guarantee if that was Justin jumping into KR, this place would be hanging JB worse then they are now....
