I’m down for block passes. JA was already out of the corner committed to the straight of way when Barcia literally cuts the corner and puts his bike directly in front of JA. JA had no option to check up or anything.
If he was out of the corner how did Barcia block him?

Absolutely stupid. Not a fan.of Barcia but you're going to dock him on a pass for the lead?

Cancel culture alive and well even in the toughest sport in the world. What a fucking joke.

Don’t leave the inside open.

It the AMA had any balls at all and wanted to be taken seriously they should have DQed Dumb Dumb, fine him $10,000 and tell him the next one will result in being DQed for the SX season. Anyone remember what the FIA did to Shoemacher when he took out Villeneuve at the last race of the season? 3 points is just like the AMA a joke!

Be curious to hear J-Bones reasoning on the penalty. Lame call by AMA. Looked like a good block pass to me. If Anderson wasn’t staring at his bar pad he could have reacted. Bunch of the 250 riders figured it out.

If Barcia has any balls he’ll get his 3 points back.

They take 3 points from Barcia ,do they give Anderson the 3 points? If the AMA feels Anderson was "fouled " why doesnt he benefit from the penalty ? He lost more than 3 points.
In my opinion Anderson should be smart enough to avoid such instances with Barcia. I also dont think there should be a penalty .This is not Sunday afternoon bingo with grandma!!

1) Since Anderson passed Barcia because lappers were in Barcia's way...then Barcia thinks that pass was not legit. So anything goes to get back into the lead.

Not saying I agree with what Barcia did but I bet that is what he was thinking.

2) Anderson should have KNOWN what Barcia was going to do and be ready for it! I bet Tomac would not have hit Barcia in the same scenario.

Who was right there to see it all happen right in front of him, Bogle. Eli made sure to go balls out to get away from Barcia. It sucks that you pass a guy with ease then have to worry about him going full retard into you for the next few corners.
Truer words have never been spoken.

JA21 is going to regret this season forever. He's gone down so many times this year, mainly due to him being a bonehead. He has ET's speed when he gets out of his own way. He's going to kick himself for a long time.

Eli truly shows he is a much better rider than most of them. He always waits to make a clean pass which is much harder to do.

Of course, that has undoubtedly cost him some wins though.

Then maybe JA should have protected the inside. After all he knew who was behind him based off of the tower leaderboard. What everyone seems to forget is the top guys are putting in lap times within the same second of one another. If you’re in the main race line, a.k.a. the fast line, how in the hell is somebody supposed to make a pass without taking a chance? Granted JB has made some idiotic moves in the past (more than once) I don’t have a problem with the move. These guys actually train doing sprint laps trying to get out front as fast as they can to pull a gap. JB isn’t the fastest guy and that’s the best shot he has at trying to have a top finish. I read a lot of people complaining about his pass on Malcolm in the heat race. Had there been no ruts in the corner it’s just a straight up clean block pass. A win versus second place could’ve been worth maybe 25K depending upon his bonus schedule???? Just my two cents

Honest question that has been on my mind.

JBone has deep relationships with most of the current riders, managers, OEMs.

Do you think that allows him to vote fairly and not be impartial. Or is it a conflict of interest?

For Barcia, -3 points sucks but not a major deal at this point I’m the season.

However, being docked a position, or DQ’d, has massive implications on his paycheck for the night. Do you really think the AMA has the gonads to strip potentially hundreds of thousands of salary & bonus money from someone like Barcia? That’s a big no.

Reminded me exactly of Tomac taking out Deano on 250s. I believe it was in Seattle?

It looks like being on probation doesn't mean anything.

Jason had 2 opportunities to clean Justin OUT...yet, he kept it clean and tight.
Then...just moments after Jason & Justin AVOIDED contact...
Justin went in hard and deep into the exit line of the bowl turn leading onto the start straight...
And cleaned Jason OUT.
...or...
Someone's gonna say that was just a "Block Pass".

Either way...both riders were on "probation"...if I'm not mistaken?
So, violating said probation cost one guy 3 points and a coupl'a bucks.
What did it cost THE OTHER GUY?

Because, that's what's on The Other Guy's mind.

Myself? I like that J-Bone and company are attempting to deal with this stuff; however, some of these guys have some retaliation coming.

If I'm Justin? I'm trying to win.
If I'm Jason? I'm not forgetting any of this.
If I'm Eli? "No comment".

For cryin' out loud...Jason left the inside open... Barcia took it. Would you guys rather they just let one rider on the track at a time...best lap time wins the "race"? If Justin had T-boned him...that would be a whole different kettle of fish...but he didn't.

you may disagree....but I dont think 51 meant to block so aggressively, seems like he slightly over jumped and couldnt stop quick enough.... and then slammed into 21 (and you may agree.) Yes aggressive.
