What's sad is Barcia looked worse when he got lapped! Barcia looked like he almost got off the bike and held up a sign reading "come on thru"

Did you guys see him almost killing Roczen when he got lapped?
Whats even worse is that I dropped my beer in that moment...

Yeah. First he held up Dungey and then most likely would have landed on Roczen if Roczen didn't move out of the way. Not a fan of Friese..

The guy gets 11 place against the best SX riders in the world and you call him a spode and a hazard?

The most basic principle when getting passed is to always just hold your line and don't move left or right and that's exactly what he did and for the record, it's exactly what the AMA rules and enforcement group say to do.

So contrary to your inaccurate accusation, Vince wasn't a hazard by holding his line.

Stop hating just to hate and look at things from a real perspective.

Great job for these guys and Jeff for making the main.

He held his line didn't pull a Stewart and hold anyone up.

Apparently you weren't watching the same race I did. Lines were held, just like Stewart. He held them up big time. No one pulled a Musky and got all out of sorts, but traffic definitely got held up.

vf rides like a douche. don't care what position he gets. he looked like tool last night. there was a race going on and he wasn't in it..but he thought he was....and he was taking advantage of the real riders pulling out of the way of the leaders.

Friese did not hold up the leaders anymore than any of the other lappers. He was also very cautious around Peick last night when he had many opportunities to lean into him. I wish the AMA would do away with the probation BS...the sport is lacking any aggressive passing for fear of penalties

Allow me to assist you, as you clearly don't know what the proper move is for a lapper to make when a faster group is coming up on you. You hold your line and there is NO responsibility to pull over as that is a much more dangerous move than staying put.

Also not sure if you realize it but all the guys are out there racing the track and the competition for a result. By the way if Vince isn't a real rider than the race last night had only 10 real riders cuz that's the only ones he didn't beat.

VF rides/races defensively,if he had a odometer on his bike it would show 25 laps of distance in a 20 lap race.

Somehow I've always been an Alessi fan. He was about to be the man outdoors one year on the 450 before he got run over and seriously knocked out.

Maybe I like to see the black sheep succeed. I'm probably overly forgiving of all the craziness, but hey - that makes it interesting and it takes all kinds.

Racing means a hell of a lot to Mike, his crying after a heat race win over RV gives insight regarding his drive to succeed. You wouldn't catch RV giving that much of a shit about this sport.

Alessi has no doubt done things that make no sense to anyone, but he does them with more heart than quite a few other pros he's raced against.

The rules I believe also state do not impede the leaders.

Too much unwarranted hate for Friese. He's out there racing, making mains, and doing pretty decent in my opinion. If you guys want to see some spodes riding, go film yourselves.

Doing what?

Did you make a living at it?

If it was racing then it's clearly obvious that you are sporting some jealousy towards a guy like Vince cuz you never could carry his dirty jock as your display of understanding of what it takes to race at the high level.

Let me guess, you could show him a thing or two on the track.

I will say it again, holding your line and racing forward is the only responsibility you have when being lapped.

By the way it doesn't take a genius to understand my point but per your statements it's easy to see why this simple math looks genius like to you.

If they're thinking about the chase maybe it's time to edit the rules associated with the blue flag.

You keep forgetting lappers aren't meant to hold up the leaders. Just racing forward and holding your line isn't enough. It shouldn't be up to the guys running up front to navigate past lappers who are racing.

Nice of you to check in here at vital Vinny, but still, GTFO of the way when the leaders are lapping you..
