Anybody think with his dominance and lead well see him in Seattle on a Bigs? If so you think he back up his comment about taking it to Villo?

I like Barcia but hes getting more and more cocky and confident each round- (Rightfully so I guess)

Back to your original question..I think there is too much at risk with the east lites titles to let Barcia ride the 450's at this stage of the SX season (and the same would have held true for Tomac had he not taken the fall on the west coast). With Braytons resurgence, Honda does not have to add another rider in the SX class. Hahn was not in the points chase in the west, so it made sense to give him a shot in the SX class (and he proved them right by doing great for his first outing!).

After Tomac's crash Cole Seeley suddenly found himself in the championship hunt again and on a 450. Barcia has over a full race lead and the strongest potential for a win with the likes of James, RD, CR and Canard out. My 2 cents. I don't think he could just hop on a 450 and run with poto to be honest. It's nice that he thinks he could but setup is crucial and he hasn't been dialing in a 450...and Villo is dialed and pinned everywhere. I think he'd be doing everything he could including shaving the stache trying to find that 450 edge. Sure hope we find out-
Don't get me wrong..I'd love to see it. I just think the number of injuries this year has resulted in team managers being less likely to let the east/west point contenders take the risk. I think Barcia would be in the mix for podiums in the SX class. The lap times for the top lites and SX class riders have been amazingly similar this year (As I recall Tomac was also turning lap times similar to the Ryan's during the west coast rounds), so I don't think the jump in class would be such a leap for Barcia..

Barcia is a dirty rider,period,he wont get away with that crap in the 450 class.
The hit he put on KR in the corner was intentional,watch the replay ,look he locks up back rake and aims for KR rear tire.
Intentional in my book.I dont really root for either one,but Barcia is just as much a jackass as KR with his meltdowns.
