Revving an Alta

Barcia lives on the clutch so I can't see it being too good.

I feel like Barcia would do much better if he started racing forward and could see past the rider just ahead of him, he seems far too interested in taking people out than actually racing.

FACT: When MX goes all electric there will still be goons revving the piss out of their bikes on the starting line to "clear them out".

Justin Barcia revs the piss out of his bike and hits the rev limiter because he is a heavy, heavy clutch user and he's grown accustom to using the rotational mass of the motor and gyroscopic effect of the rear wheel, in part, to help control the pitch of the bike and because when the rear wheel is spinning super fast just upon landing from a jump, it helps the bike straighten out and settle more than a slow rotating wheel. It's all part of his system of riding.

That system of riding will be, in part, obsolete on an electric motorcycle, although the gyroscopic effect of a spinning rear wheel will always be a factor. He will find some other unique way of adapting to the bike. That's why he's a professional.

Lol Barcia's electric bike would probably run out of juice by the halfway point!
