First of all I'm not a fan of Barcia or Stewart, but the pass was going to be fine. But JB missed his exit rut in the turn and got stood up. Anybody who races can see it was not a take out move! Clowns on this board calling a fine or suspension are fools! I bet when MS see's the video he'll even cool down. Just a racing incident.
Aggressive pass? YES.
Blatant take out? Only at a Chinese restaurant.

It wasn't a take out move. He was going for the stereotypical sx type of pass but Mookie never saw him coming and was already coming out of the turn. It was all just a racing incident until Mookie chose to act like he had been the victim of some unforgivable crime, shoved Bam Bam, and then wheelied into him. In my opinion, this is the second dumb thing that Mookie has done this season and the AMA should seriously consider some kind of disciplinary action for the part where he used his bike as a weapon. JUST MY OPINION (this is where we share opinions, right?).
This occurred following a previous similar incident involving Stewart, where he ended up T-boning Jason Anderson. This is obviously becoming a pattern of misbehavior and poor sportsmanship on the part of Stewart, and should be dealt with by the AMA.
Like I said, I'm not a big fan of Barcia, but I'm now even less of a fan of Malcolm Stewart. Imo, his repeated actions are on the same level as Alessi's...perhaps even worse. He's a poor loser and a punk.

Then again why does he always have to run it in so deep while making a pass? dive inside and ride away.
There were quite a few other attempts at passes in that turn , and nobody else felt the need to go in like that. .
RV nailed it ... and you think that if he is out of a factory ride the first time his contract is up , then that isnt going to lead to a long and fruitful career... he aint no Andrew Short, and if i was a team owner , i know who i'd rather have on my bike.

100% clean pass home boy should of checked up like any normal rider would do instead of nailing the gas and making a good pass go bad
Looks to me like a typical Goat Boy move. Run it in deep. Barcia was already out of the rut/berm before Mookie hit him. Goat Boy went too deep this time.
I don't think Mookie caused Barcia to fall. I also don't think Mookie knew Goat Boy was there until the very last second. That's why he didn't check up.
And then Mookie got all hot headed. It happens. You're racing, the adrenaline is flowing, split second decisions. And these two have history. I would say if any fines /penalties are thrown, they both get fined/penalized.
Funny how guys can make passes all night long with little to no contact......or even some good rubbin' , but they don't damn near clean out every rider they go by like what Barcia does. The dude is fast....but he can ride like a prick.
