Craig left the door open and made a mistake at the same time Barcia walked through it. I give Barcia the benefit of the doubt as he picks up the bike with a broken lever and runs into Craig. But it's obvious that a lightbulb went off and he then waits for the right time to try to block Craig.

Given the situation (1 lap H2H), the outcome (no injuries and Craig still won), and the aftermath (he explained/apologized right away and they were both cool in the post race interviews), I'd say who gives a fuck. Even though 100% of Vitards are right 100% of the time, the only opinions that matter are the men in the arena. This applies to mine as well.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Now if they both got up, fist bumped and finished the race then that would have been cool. Getting pissed and kicking and ghost clutching into each other was lame. "Ghost clutching" ha

He's right- Barcia's take-out was a total dick move. Then what followed is the kind of stuff we expect from him. Whenever the guy races overseas he does something so silly he makes the whole US pro mx scene look like an amateur show (Paris a few years back when he roosted a MEDIC).

It completely blows my mind how much risk Barcia is willing to take for himself and another rider, for a one off race nobody cares about, one month before the championship begins that actually matters to them.

It completely blows my mind how much risk Barcia is willing to take for himself and another rider, for a one off race nobody cares about, one month before the championship begins that actually matters to them.

Why even show up if no one cares? It's still a race and professionals go to race.
