While the result of the Vegas incident was unfortunate, it's hard to make the case that Barcia intended to injure Bowers. He didn't even crash him. It was just a freak incident with some mid level contact, especially compared to lots of passes we see.

Bowers, though, launched his bike like a weapon.

Huge difference.

Let's not forget his attitude in the lights class after he won mind you on the spraying of dirt,stones on the medical crew while trying to attend a downed rider after the race was over. Talk about B'S. I'm sure someone has that replay. I dig Barcias new improved style but let's not forget his style
Not sure what that has to do with tonight's incident.....

My guess is that when Bowers was probably overheard by an event official saying that he took him out intentionally as payback.

I made this post before Bowers was DQ’d. I didn’t expect him to be DQ’d.
I just felt it was a stupid move professionally. And is partly why he isn’t having the success he could. Barcia has definitely made his fair share of mistakes as well. But he does seem to be trying to be more mature as he has gotten older.

Bowers let his emotion and anger ruin his night. That is the difference between success and not, in my opinion.

I didn't think Bowers should be DQ'd , I'd like to hear why he was.

it also looked like Oldenberg did the same thing to Martin , I wonder if they dq him?

The penalty should’ve been making those 2 joust each other during the commercial break.

I highly it was a result of anything RC said, likely because Monster Energy Yamaha's Jimmy Perry complained to the officials.

You're letting your emotions guide your judgement.

Barcia didn't hit him that hard, comparatively. That type of hit rarely results in the injury that occurred, and the initial X-rays didn't even find the fracture. Just bad luck.

Let’s be real supercross should thank bowers for moves like that. I think what is even more funny is they dq bowers then cut to a clip of osbourne smashing savatgy into 2020.

Wow everything Barcia has done in the past and you had a problem with that ? The AMA is a joke and you think they would have done Barcia like that if it was the other way. Funny Bowers get's Dq"d and he put the group together for the line disaster. That shows you right there were the AMA stands for the privateers.
What? The AMA/FIM cherry pick what riders get what punishment instead of consistently and uniformly enforcing the rules?!

No way, say it isn't so.

Imo, Bowers looked out of control (sloppy) and to me, again imo, it looked like he didn't put any effort into avoiding Barcia rather than aiming to singly take him out.

Should have been a fine, not a DQ.

Yes, other riders will continue to do worse. And the higher on the totem pole they are, the less I would expect to see anything done of it.

Is it bullshit? Absolutely.

Would I be shocked if this continues and nothing changes? Not a chance in hell.

First x rays of bowers leg definitely showed it was broken. He wasn’t even able to walk off his own bike.

Remember when Barcia broke Bowers leg last year? Do you even know Bowers? You should tell that to Bowers next time you meet him. Tell us how that works out for you.

People pay big money to watch Barcia and the like, not Bowers.

All is not equal.

Deserved the penalty. Battle yes, take out...not in SX. Too dangerous.

That gif makes it look even more stupid. My god. Don’t let’s these guys actually race. Or let racing incidents happen.

Fuck they push to the limit and sometimes make a mistake and crash. Seemed like bowers was on the edge and couldn’t get slowed down enough to make the turn and barcia got clipped. Racing incident.
