I ll just say this Barcia always gets the criticism, some deserved some not, but you don’t stumble into 3rd place this far into the season, if you cant run the pace.
He beats these guys week in week out, gets awesome starts and even has come from way back to land on the podium in a few races.
What pace is AC and Marvin running?

Oh 3 seconds off the pace, qualified 12 you say. Then goes out and has a great heat race.
Qualifying times don’t mean shit

I'd really like to see Barcia on a different bike, as much as the media outlets rave about the YZ450, it just seems like after 10 years they've yet to get the bike to work well everywhere at the professional level as it still has its gremlins comparedntoball of the other brands

Main event times do though. 30+ seconds off of the leaders.

After listening to his interview on race day live
I kinda felt like he knows he isn't gonna be at Yamaha next year. Of course he didn't say that but that was the impression I got.
What team do you think he would go to if he wasn't gonna go back to Yamaha?

Lets be honest here. If AC and MM were not hurt, Barcia would be 5th in points. He can't run with the top guys.

This is stupid. AC crashed out of the series running the pace of AC. He didn’t survive the pace that had him behind Barcia in points.
So which “what ifs “ are on the table?
How about, what if Barcia was on factory KTM or Honda?
Maybe you should skip the racing and write SX fan fiction instead.

Last week he ran a 51.5 which was not far off of KR 51.0, and faster than Tomac's and Webb's fastest lap. He can run their pace.
