rob that scene was hilarious when it went down - i can imagine Ken in his lid and what he was saying, i was absolutley LMAO, I honestly thought Barcia would check up but nope - he pushed it - fair play but very stupid. Did nobody warn him?

Is it okay if we mock Cairoli for being impatient and running into the back of Byrne in 2007 and breaking spokes? To Barcia's credit, he didn't throw the bike down and storm off.

It's a little pathetic that Rob's got such an f'ing hard on fr cracking wise on any American misfortune or mistake out of proportion. But make the most of it, you may have to suck on this bit of candy for awhile.

Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story. Cairoli dropped his bike in 2007 at Budds Creek MXDN, when he bent his front disc rotor and the wheel wouldn't turn.
I haven't got a f'ing hard on over Barcia crashing into Dedycker, I was just there with a camera and it happened right in front of me.
If I really was as anti-American as you claim?, surely I would have made the most of it and posted up a series of pics of Herlings lapping Baggett in Moto 2, or Cairoli lapping Baggett in first moto, Dungey crashing through banners in moto 3, all of which happened right in front of me and I have photo's to prove it.
Thought I'd spare you the embarassment as you are obviously overly-sensitive to the European riders thrashing your AMA National champions at Lommel.

Barcia will add "spice" to a class that has gotten too soft. Villopoto's concern about whether Justin has any "respect" for the top riders is lame. Clearly he is not initimidated by Poto, Dungey, Reed or anybody...and if that gets Potos panties wadded then who cares. He's not necessarily there to make friends...he's there to win.

That said...if he bangs Windham, KW will park him.

I dont think Barcia is scared of anyone. But he will learn who he can ride aggressively with and who he cant.

Thats part of the 450 class. They all have to learn that aspect.

If anybody in the 450 class thinks they are going to get into a slam fest with JB and walk away unscathed, sans KW, they are high. That being said, Barcia stopped being BAM BAM when the Nat's rolled around. WIll he return? We'll see.

If he stays healthy Barcia will be a front runner and win races. He looks awesome on a 450

i think barcia has smoothed his style out alot lately (especially on the 450) so dont think he will be doing that sort of thing as much as he has in the past- pretty sure he will just get it back if he tries to take out dungey/ RV/reed etc (if he's anywhere near them in the first place)

i think with it being barcia's first year he wont be a title contender in supercross (probably have a few crashes but he might sneak a win or 2) - outdoors i dont think he will be on the pace of rv/dungey/reed right away. Hopefully canard will stay fit all year and show us what he's really capable of too! Be nice if pourcel got a ride in the US just to add another title contender to the mix
If twitter is anything to go by it seems De Dycker and Barcia actually struck up a bit of a friendship in Belgium.

Friese has been doing it for years, why would anyone do anything about Barcia?

I'm not comparing them, I'm saying Friese is WAY worse than anything Barcia has done and no one has done anything, riders or officials.

Friese has never been a threat to do anything else but that. He's never run up in the top five long enough for any of the fast guys to worry too much about him.

i think barcia has smoothed his style out alot lately (especially on the 450) so dont think he will be doing that sort of thing as much as he has in the past- pretty sure he will just get it back if he tries to take out dungey/ RV/reed etc (if he's anywhere near them in the first place)

1. sx he will be there, hovering around top5...(highlight reel take outs, highlight reel crashes, some major drama involved somewhere)

2. outdoors, instantly top 3... did you forget he was in front of dungey at unadilla in 2011... He was hauling effin balls.

In '13?

OK, I'll take $100 on that: you said 45 seconds, right!?

Hell, if you give me 4:1 odds I'd be willing to go $1G at 20 seconds!

Bwahhahahahaha!

Why do people act like BamBam is some tough guy? He cried and roosted riders/medics when things didn't go his way this year. And last year in Bercy he ran away from a guy who wanted to finish the BamBaming.

Justin won't be doing any BamBaming in my opinion. He seems over it and has a pretty solid mindset/program.

I foresee aggressive riding but that's it, and that's what we expect to see.

Hannah was before my time, im a 90's kid. I watched MC emig chicken ward larocco Bradshaw ect

I don't think barcia is out to annihilate everyone, seems like he is very passionate about winning and I can relate to that. I like poto and he's done some sketchy passes in his time. It's all about adjusting to the class or crossing that finish line first. He'll figure it out real quick
