Mookie. Barcia is going to coast the rest of the season now that his championship hopes are gone.

Mookie. He's got the factory ride he's fought for and deserved...and he's appreciative of it. He also seems to be having some fun. He's gotten better and better as the season has progressed...Barcia has faded, as per normal. Mookie will get some podiums in the last batch of events.

I'm going with Barcia, I believe he has a higher ceiling.

Mookie... dude has had a SOLID season against insane competition..... Barcia has already put out more than he has in the last decade, I expect him to return to his normal 7-12 place finishes any time now....

I think we’ll see the two of them swap who’s ahead every so often, but right now, Barcia has a higher ceiling still. Would anyone be shocked if JB won another race or hit the podium again? Probably not. Mookie is still in the place of needing to break that 4th place barrier he always tops out at. He’ll get there, but probably next season.

I think Barcia will finish stronger... But we're not talking a huge difference here.

All i care about is Mookie having the pace at the end of a main event...he's finally achieved the conditioning and the grit to get there. The bike and team definately helped him this year and so happy to see him doing great as a fan.

Almost makes me think he might have a decent base if he were to ride...outdoors.... lol

Barcia is Barcia to me, hes sick and im a big fan of his energetic style/bam bam mentality... I'm just a bit biased with Mookie haha I really want a quad god kind of track with some whoops he can smash for his first win.

That's a tough call. I've never been a huge fan of either rider, but both those guys have definitely stepped it up this year. I think Barcia's season has been more of a return to form, and Malcolm's has been more of a change for the better. I'm voting Malcolm, but only because of Barcia's history of fading in the later events.

I think it'll be close at the end of SX, with an edge to Barcia.

I also think Barcia has a higher ceiling and can win, at any time, without a "situation". Malcolm has definitely risen to a new level of consistency, but might need a specific set of circumstances to finish on top of the box in the 450 class.

I wanted to vote for Mookie but Barcia seems pretty happy with his GasGas and has more consistent better results. On the other hand it seems like they figured out the Yamaha last weekend.

It is interesting. Obviously they're only a few points apart so cumulatively they have had similar finishes.

Head-to-head over the 9 races, it is 5-4 in favor of Barcia, so even that is as close as can be.

History says Barcia, but Mookie does look like he's in a good place.

I'm a fan of both. If they both stay on two wheels for the rest of the year I think Barcia will finish better on your standard supercross tracks.

But don't we have more tracks like Daytona in the schedule this year? If yes, that should make it interesting.

Atlanta is a raceway track and will receive three rounds. But unlike Daytona, most of the track will have an asphalt base.

Wow, that is going to mix things up for sure. Very cool.

Looks like it's Mookie over Barcia, 282 to 256.

Or 52.4% for Mookie and 47.6% for Barcia.

I'm a fan of Malcom but that was a big No No...someone needs to put him in time out for that take out attempt.

Is Mookie racing the outdoors or does he have a Supercross only contract?

I believe it’s been said SX only...you know he “wanted” to race outdoors the last couple years but he didn’t have the support (wink wink)
