We need to start having higher expectations for our "professionals". And the AMA needs to start governing like they mean it. What if, for example, the medical crew was on the ice tending to a NHL player who was down, and some fucking goon came full bore and "sprayed" them full of ice (by coming to a full stop with their skates spraying ice). What would the NHL do-suspend the guy and it could cost him tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. And they could fine the team too, just like the Saints got fined.
Here-fine the kid 25k, fine the team 25k (he is their employer and they haven't done a very good job of educating the kid about his professional responsibilities), and suspend him for one race. Then lets see if anyone else wants to act like a 5 year old.
5k? A fucking joke. Lets stop enabling this kind of behavior and lets see this sport do a little growing up. This isn't chicken licks raceway. What about NASCAR? Break the rules, pay the price.
I'm sure he is full of remorse. Too late. That ain't good enough right now.
Barcia did that exact same line every single lap, but the difference on this particular lap is that Vincent was being lapped, landed on the right side of the triple landing where basically nobody was landing, then cut back hard to the left to take the outside line. He actually got a burst of speed after the triple and pulled back up on Barcia when he decided to cut all the way across the track and run into the back side of Barcia. I was sitting right there and saw it all unfold before me. It was pretty obvious Barcia had the pass made and Vincent came back on him.
Have you ever been taken out by a lapper?
OR, by someone in a lower division, OR someone cutting across in the air, in a race that you consider a BIG deal. Emotions take control. I love it! Shows emotion and that these guys care. I appluad!
If so, what was your emotional state immediately following that event. I would've done much worse. Obviously you guys don't understand the dissapointment, not PAIN that controls emotions.

Was just thinking the same thing about Roczen throwing a fit and roosting Durham when I read Roczen's tweet. These guys are very competitive and young, so they are going to make stupid mistakes like this. But because it's Barcia all the guys on here that hate him are calling for his head.
but..
$5,000.00, for Barcia to roost Roczen
and
$0.00 for AMA to have ANY balls?
Gloriffied flaggers.

By the way I'm only referring to the Vincent aspect of this. Roosting Roczen isn't a big deal in my eyes, not very classy but whatever. Roczen rooster Durham so he shouldn't be mad when he gets a taste of his own medicine. But a guy being looked at by medics? I cannot see how any sane person would think that's acceptable for a 5 year old, let alone an 18 year old professional athlete with 2 and a half seasons experience. He's not a rookie guys he knows what's right and wrong.
My opinion on the crying apology is that the tears were from being angry that he lost and the strong talking to that I hope someone gave him. You don't think the sponsors have a problem with what he did? Two words: Damage control.

It's amazing with so many experts here on Vital, that you guys don't even know what team a guy rides for.
Barcia is a tool, always has been, always will be.
You got mad web skills, yo!
