Both of Barcia's 450 wins were where he got the holey and got a huge jump at the start. If he has to pass people...he can't win, because he will block pass every time, and lose time to the leader. A rider who can not win from behind can not be considered a championship contender.

As DV has noted many times, he does not seem able to adjust his style to the 450...

And what does this thread have to do with WP? Why make that comparison... There are 20 riders on the line other than WP....

Do you realize that pretty much everyone's first win comes because they got a good start and opened up a gap or at the misfortune of others? You're not really downplaying him with that statement. Does anybody think Barcia is a title contender? I missed that part. Apparently some think he's more than what he really is. Many win 125/250 class SX championships and never do shit on a 450.

I said "Many win 125/250 class SX championships and never do shit on a 450." Nice combination of different points made to form your own twisting of words to come up with that. Genius!!!! Seriously though, work on the reading comprehension. Nowhere did I say Barcia didn't do shit on a 450.

Justin"Yamaha sucks" Barcia!
I have to wonder what kind of testing these guys do before they sign with JGR that makes them believe they will gel with the bike...or maybe it's the money?

More than the injuries, Barcia just doesn't look good on the Yamaha.

He's had 3 serious injuries in 1 year has been off the bike probably far more than any others out there. He's riding back into it. New bike (limited time) New team (limited time). How narrow minded people on here are

See....this is what kills me. Serious injuries??????????????/ No a serious injury is a broken back or a BROKEN NECK, or a torn MCL, PCL etc. What he's had are broken limbs. A new bike? "Its the best bike ive ever ridden" Yes thats why he is doing terrible on it. Peick (his teammate) is also on a new bike for the first time as well and he is killing it!! Peick is ALSO on a new team with the same limited time yet he is posting top 5's like its his job (well actually it is) and riding that bike like a badass even when getting slammed to the ground.

I dont mean to be a dick but Peick was a FAR better signing for JGR than Barcia and it kills me that everyone keeps making excuses for his shitty riding...The "Limited Time" theory is especially funny because he was signed sealed and delivered before the SX season was over last year meaning he's had PLENTY of time to ride and get used to the bike. If anyone had limited time it wouldve been Peick.

Lets stop making excuses for Barcia he is not riding well and his 2nd tier of a teammaqte is showing how you're supposed to geti it done, Im sorry but none of what Ive stated isnt true
Sorry on the serious injuries quote I'll ensure I brush up next time DOOGIE HOWSER MD

Never understood nicknames. Weston Peick and Justin Barcia, I couldn't keep them seperated without nicknames.

If you have a really boring name or a really difficult one a nickname is great.
If your name is already goofy, you don't need one.

WP is the defintion of dropping anchor this year, but half the guys on here would still let him touch the back of their throat.

Barcia drops anchor after his second week back from breaking his hip, and he is considered a waste of money? Vital is hilarious.

WP has been riding through a knee injury that has hindered his abilities. I'm not sure many other guys would be out there.

what annoys me about Barcia is he aggressively blocks people.. I love aggressive racing but I hate when people go out of their way to stop a faster rider getting by them.. and yes I know he's meant to race for position but when you're crossing across the track and taking people wide and slowing EVERYONE down just to keep them behind you, I just think it's lame
race forward and shit
Andrew short is THE worse for doing this, and it's really annoying because he typically gets good starts, then immediately goes into roadblock mode

oh I don't know if I can agree with that, I feel Short fights for position and just doesn't let them have it which is fine by me.. I just don't like the way Barcia is so blatant about it

Haha. Short lets Dungey by, then blocks everyone else. Sorta kidding. It's the unspoken team orders.

As for Barcia, I'm laughing at all of the truck commercial cracks.

Barcia has a different reason every year for why he's not performing. First year it was the learning curve, second year it was the "boy strength vs. man strength", third year, it's injury. His racing style just isn't competitive long term.

I have noticed his last two races, the bike looks significantly better than it did last time he was racing. He was overjumping and mis-timing rhythm sections terribly. Didn't look real comfortable. I paid pretty close attention to him in the Santa Clara race and he seemed to be hitting the rhythm sections (which were more technical than normal) pretty consistently and accurately. So hopefully he has improved setup and riding technique.

Barcia's overrated. He won on speed and intimidation. Now that he's with the big boys they are just as fast/faster and aren't afraid of him.
