I am a huge Stewart fan, seeing he and RC going at it in TO live was the thrill of a lifetime.

MX is not kind to the a person whose reflex's are slowing down and their brain is writing checks their body can't cash. I hope it is later than sooner, but JS7 will not be putting full championship seasons together forever, maybe never again. It happens to all great athletes, he is not different, except he is in one tough sport! I am still grateful to him though for the Bubba scrub, manualing and most of all, excitement and entertainment! Hope he is smart with his dough.

Barcia may not win as many championships as JS7, but he is bringing what this fan wants to see, edge of your seat excitement. Not a Honda fan, but Barcia is pure adrenaline excitement on a bike..

I think he is capable. But dang, his last few years of inconsistancy and question may not be enough with all these fast kids coming up. I am not a hater. Been supporting Stewie a long time. But I bet I am right.

On the topic of Stewart. Did anyone see the A1 advert towards the end of the show? They didn't even list Stewart as a contender; they named off Villopoto, Reed, Canard, Barcia and Dungey. I found that a little odd; Stewart's usually their main 'drawcard' in those ads.

I don't know about semantics like "is he the new stewart", but he sure as hell is fun to watch. He current style has the perfect level of aggression for great racing. Any race he at the front in this year will not be 20 laps of follow the leader, I can tell you that much.

While last night proved that Barcia is going to be a serious contender, there will only be one JS7, and we'll find out where he stacks up at A1. I don't know if RV is going to handle the pressure from Stewart, Barcia, and occasionally Reed and Dungey. I also don't think Barcia is going to have a consistent season in SX. He is riding like a beast but I can see him ending up on the short end of some takeouts throughout the year. Weimer as the new kid got punted a few times this past season and he doesn't have nearly the reputation of Barcia.

All I know for certain is, with Barcia being added to the mix, and Stewart on a bike he enjoys, 2013 is going to be incredible. 2013 outdoors will be even better if Tomac races the 450.

Maybe it's because it is the Monster Energy Cup and one of his main sponsors is Red Bull? I noticed it was well, but thought that was the reason.

They had to appease Reed and include him because of him being left out in the past.

Reed also got to choose a rider to be excluded to help make things right.

Let's see how many tweets Stewart puts up a bout it. Wink

Barcia just needs to be ready to accept when things don't go as he plans. He pulls some crazy shit and hauls some serious ass.

I agree with you 100%. Would love to see him do it though. Just wouldn't bet any money on it :-)

no comparison Barcia to Stewart. polar opposites
on the bike, off the bike how they race how they talk, how they are viewed.

A1 should be good.

agreed.

However this year I see some instances of implosions and setbacks. 16 races offers twice as many chances for his "wild style" to be harder to manage.

1. Barcia is 3 parts Hannah, 1 part Langston & 1 part Marty Smith.

2. The truest comparo to Stewart is that they BOTH really believe Tuff-Blocks to be Part of the Track.

3. Barcia, Barcia, Barcia... He's gonna do Soooooo well that it won't just be Jan that's jealous.

4. While MANY are "nipping at his heals": James is still The Next Level. I just heard this from 2 of the best training Gurus.

5. James has been a bit Anti-Monster over the yrs...& for his own reasons.

6. Anyone that thinks RV isn't capable of running with & IN FRONT of ALL of these guys is NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

7. Did someone imply that Bam-Bam's gonna get punted? Oh, really...& exactly WHO is gonna risk Fkn w/ Bam-Bam? Friese? Ronnie Mac? Dale, Jr.? Right. Good Luck with that.

8. He's got what? 2-3 weeks on that bike? Do you think it's ANYWHERE NEAR "Fully Kitted"?

9. Last-Nite: He, yes...Bam-Bam...no shit, actually backed off and "Regrouped" TWICE IN 2 separate motos. Hmmmmmmmmm... Bam Bam's growin up AND gettin Smarter.

10. He'll be in the running for fastest lap (Qual) by A2.

He's got a new "Believer" right here.
He's NOT the New Stewart: He's the New Bam Bam.

Think about this: 2013 will be James Stewart's 11th Season in professional motocross.

How many concussions has he fought through in those 11 seasons ?

With RV's infomercial during the broadcast about Barcia's riding style.... yes, I totally see BamBam getting punted if he attempts to take out any of the top 5. That being said, I saw at least one spot last night where Barcia had the opportunity to stuff Dungey and he wisely didn't run it all the way in on him. If he continues to ride smart like he did yesterday I don't expect it to be a problem.

Stewart and Reed aren't afraid to take each other out in the middle of a championship chase, there is no way they'll lie back if Barcia gets aggressive. RV was starting to get fresh last year with Reed before he got hurt, too.

At Vegas next year they definitely won't all be up on the podium holding hands and singing "We Are the World"...

I love the off season. But as soon as James wins A1 the swingers will start swinging again...

Man James was the sx champ in 09, and hasn't even put together half of a series since. Incredible respect for the guy, he will win a race here and there until he's gone, but his title day's are numbered.

I would say new Bradshaw.
I think he's a mix between Damon Bradshaw and Bob Hannah.

His riding style is very aggressive, and whatever happens he will never give up...

Contrary to Bradshaw, he can ride very fast despite the pressure...
Like Bob Hannah, he's not afraid of physical contact...and if he needs to push a rider out of the track for a victory, no doubt he will not hesitate...

It's a pleasure to see Barcia on a 450 (I remember the first time he came to Paris Bercy SX, a feast for the eyes), ....there's always something special with him, and we never know the end of the story before the checkered flag....

What would be funny is by the time A1 comes,

Tickle (from being trained by RC) goes out and wins... or
Grant happens to go out and snatch that first SX win there.

That would be a HUGE upset! But an amazing accomplishment!

Exactly. What's all the hang up about sequels anyway? Usually part 2 is worse, and it is all downhill after that...
