If Barcia had just taken Peick high in the turn but not aimed for his front wheel, I don't think there would have been any issues.
That said, it was still just an aggressive pass.

Re the not getting a "real" ride, Barcia has done plenty of punk stuff and rides for one of the biggest terms there is.
Barcia will never win a championship with his riding style. Too many guys will get the "that guy in particular isn't going to take this championship" mentality. I absolutely belive guys will start retaliating or riding beyond their means just to make sure Barcia won't win a championship.
Sure his passes are legal but when you take a shot at the front wheel on 95% of your passes. . . you're making the road to a championship much more difficult.
1. Deliver the goods week in and week out (WP has been fast at times but has to many poor finishes to go long with them)
2. Professional on and off the track (Drop kicking his bike at Toronto 13 and the elbow to JB51 is not professional)

my dad always told me to take guys deep in corners, make them lose their momentum (not clean them out or t-bone them) so they can't get back by you down the next straight. i see nothing wrong with what Barcia did to Peick.
I no comprends,
If 51 does whip it over a triple and take someone out doing that look at this shit,
Or anyone else does it,a major beating should result,
A pass is one thing but over a jump aint cool.
I don't necessarily think his pass on Peick was dirty, but it was kind of stupid considering they were battling for 2nd in a heat race and a matter of a few inches could have taken them both out, and lining up for the semi. As a racer, you need to be smart and know when to pick your battles.
As far as the jawing after the heat, I don't see anything wrong with it. All riders should stand up for themselves and let others know they aren't going to take any shit. Most of us would have probably said something if we were in that situation. No harm, no foul.
Keep in mind that Peick isn't on a salary like Barcia. He only gets paid based on making the mains and battling for positions. It adds a whole other level of urgency where each spot has an impact on your bank account.
Regarding the no response about why the bike wasn't ready...Louie came on here and made a statement that the bike wasn't ready and it was like he was insinuating he wasn't happy w someone. It was almost like he was taking a jab. So I asked (and others did to) well the bike was posted ready 2 weeks ago. Then all of a sudden there was no more talk about it. It was probably something like the suspension wasn't ready or something...I just thought that was strange that whan I pointed out the bike sure looked ready weeks ago all of a sudden that thread went away. I have always been a fan of Peicks but lately...not so much.
But your right...I do have lots of issues.
