Wadded it up in a crash with Stroupe. Not sure of the circumstances, the announcers did not say.

Barcia jumped up right away but couldn't get his bike restarted. He kicked it for two solid laps before finally giving up. Stroupe on the other hand was down for a while and left on the medic cart. I'm not sure the extent of his injuries, if any.

I know he was like around 10th thereabouts, moved to 5th, then came the next lap with the crowd that included Stroupe back a bunch of spots and the yellow deal must of started then...didn't know Barcia was involved being on other side of finish line..

Impressive rider for sure.

Barcia lost the front end going into the fast corner after the finish line. After that it is a tangle of bikes and bodies flying. Barcia went down so quick and Stroupe had no where to go and it didn't even look like he was able to grab the brakes.

From TWMX Kickstart:

Stroupe got concussed but should be back at Freestone.......still waiting for Stroupe to start having some good luck.

Oh yeah...I got his status from the Racer X post show so his return may change but he's not as worked as it may have appeared at first.

Pourcel said he was dangerous in his post race interview Stroupe may agree. The Kid has been impressive.

Pourcel is still not a perfect english speaker.....he also said the kid rode awesome.

I think he meant......Barcia hangs it out and is prone to crashing, soon. And I don't want to ride like that because my body can not take another crash and so I won't ride on his wheel and get taken down like my teammate did.

Tedesco rode over Mikes bike and it worked out. And Mike is not known as a hang it out guy. That's moto.

Barcia's first wad-up was inevitable.

He was too wild and anxious and it was only a matter of time. He will learn, and when he does, he will really fly.

No mention of "dangerous riding" on the Moto Verte site.
Purcel said that "I knew he would get tired. I just waited for the right moment"
