You know Barcia did a front-flip in practice yesterday, right?
Most of us would be runnin' home sucking our thumb after a digger like that!

Did we forget how he started the season? Getting landed on by Tomac at Genova? He's had a rough go at it so far. We are only 5 races into the regular SX season! 2 years ago Davi Millsaps had people questioning if Villipoto was done after 5 rounds...What happened in the next 12?...

Maybe JGR should try some factory suspension and quit trying to build a better mouse trap.

So what kind of suspension are they running?

Last time I saw the shock was a JGR in house built unit.
It hasn't been that for a while.

Ok good to know. Still seems to me the suspension isn't as balanced as it should be. Must be a set up issue.

Why is it if a rider struggles it has to be the bike. Milsaps and Barcia are just out classed by five or six guys right now.

Maybe he would be better on the KTM350? what ya think?
Careful any comment on here that isnt kissing a riders ass means you're a disrespectful shit talker.

It isn't just that. He can't move forward when he passes. If you look closely at last nights race in the background he makes move on Reed that basically ruined the main for both. Sure he made the pass, but it made both riders go backwards.

It is fun to see a guy ride hard against riders. But we can watch Vince Friese for this. He needs to makes smart moves that don't raise his lap time.

^^This. I doubt Barcia is intimidated by much of anything, let alone his YZ450F.

I actually thought that stuff was Hill?

How good was Friese vs Barcia. If Vince rode like that all the time he'd get results!
