What caused Barcias front wheel lock?

Was his brake damaged after the clash with Dedyker and Barcia raced most of the race, with a problem, which caused the second crash? Or did Barcia damage the brake in the second crash?

So he rode all the race with a dodgey wheel that locked and caused him to crash again. Great effort super brave

he was off the second time, then the wheels was locked if my memory serves me right.
Yup, just rewatched it to make sure it wasnt a pipe dream, it happened as I said.

spokes could have wrapped around brake?

Don't know if this crash was caused by the broken frontwheel tho.

I thought he damaged his front wheel when he ran into the rider in front of him and crashed.

He collided with De' Dyker....probably a foot peg I would think. Also....I don't think it was just the spokes that locked that wheel up....in another pic when he was trying to ride it....it looked like a big rock was lodged in there. At least that's what I think I saw. Maybe someone can post the pic i'm thinking of.

Can be Sunday too.
The pic is taken in the first turn which was flattened after every race to make sure the start was save.

This is a pic from saturday.

On sunday, in the 2nd moto (Barcia's first) he crashed in the final lap. It happened right in front of me so yes, there was a 2nd crash. After that crash his front wheel stopped turning.
Well, at least Justin knows Ken De Dycker by now. Euro's know better and they always stay clear of Ken. The collision between Ken and Justin was not intentional. Their lines just came together. But i think the Euro riders will brake before they run into Ken. I think that that is the best option.
