AMA hits Barcia where it hurts

The ultimate irony in all of this is, if Justin wouldn't have ridden like a dumbass this season (taking out various riders who all eventually got him back by putting him on the ground plus Barcia being put on probation and losing points for dirty riding while on probation), he would have easily finished 3rd in the points race, his best season ever. But Anderson taking him out, Mookie taking him out, Bogle taking him out, et al plus multiple races where he was docked position points resulted in him dropping from 3rd to 5th on the season. He's LOSING money by riding like a dumbass, but at the same time he says he's racing like a dickshit for the money.

At what point does Barcia come to the realization that kind of riding is PREVENTING him from making more money?

Excluding dumbass moments like the topic at hand, he's a very consistent top 3-5 rider.

Hi Justin!! 👋🏻

Stop feeding the troll guys. All he has is arguing with people on the internet he doesn’t even know.

I like Bam Bam's aggressive style, BUT that pass was way worse than the one he pulled on Anderson. He went in to just smash him, not pass him. There's a big difference between hitting a guy while making the pass, and hitting the guy to crash him and then pass him when he's on the ground. Barcia had malicious intent on that one, it wasn't good. Could have broke Mookie's arm and leg.

I hope these head-on passes get addressed for next year. Its the most dangerous pass in SX right now.

Maybe he did. Maybe he would have drifted wide. Maybe he would have taken Barcia’s line. Since Barcia was in front, he may have turned down.

He intended to block Barcia on the exit.

Stewart would have collided with Barcia had Barcia not seen Stewart and hesitated to create separation.

It’s only a textbook pass because Barcia avoided Stewart.

Stewart should learn the same technique.

So why did Barcia check up then?

Lets put Barcias fine and loss of points in perspective. Docked 10 points goes from 4th in championship to 5th, gets fined $3k keeps his 3rd place position which pays 25k and nothing else happens. So bottom line is Barcia walks away with $22K on the night for blatantly violating his probation and standing the podium and throwing it in the face of the AMA! Nothing will change until Barcia and his stupid actions hurts a contender for the title. He already broke Plessengers leg a couple of years ago and the AMA did nothing.

I don't think he broke plessingers leg. He did brake tyler bowers. But in that incident he didn't hit him very hard.
Also with payout.
He was fined 3k.
But ama pays 4300 for a 3rd place. Plus 25k from gasgas. Most riders would also get contingency from their gear, helmet and goggle sponsor. Not sure if this also applies as those sponsors are all team related. assuming he does that's prob a few grand from each sponsor for a podium.
So that would put him up around 35k - his 3k fine.

Yeah, why didn't Mookie check up... or, better yet, have those factory mechanics in Austria install a reverse to prevent the collision? Clearly not heads up and smart to allow a motorcycle to actually exist in any spot on the track where JB51 can aim the red torpedo.

That’s the tbone or pass ? Who wouldn’t go for it ? It’s like driving in the steep hills and sharp curves in the N east. You run someone down 2 mi in front of you. Then they want to race you. Don’t be a sleep during the race and get run down. There wouldn’t be a hard pass if the other rider was faster. Justin is faster that’s why he is on the rider. He wouldn’t make hard passes if the other rider was faster .

Faster rider? Lol Stewart blew by Barcia from several seconds back, got cleaned out, remounted, charged back through the pack, and still caught Barcia

Start him on probation next season and simply let him know that the first incident is 10 points and a 5 k fine. After that you will be parked for a lap. 3rd incident is a DQ

Bam Bam stated something like “We get paid on results. I do what I have to.”

So the AMA has to make it unviable to T bone people, unless they want SX/MX to become demolition derby.

As Adam C said on the commentary “This action is available every corner” - so with so many serious professionals racing they would basically have to adopt this tactic.

The analogies include fining thieves less than what they stole, or penalising tax evaders a small percentage of what they have stolen.

The current penalties seem to actually encourage this dirty riding. (Adam C, and Ricky C were not OK with it!)

I seriously think that the AMA is ok with it (to a certain extent) cuz how many people who otherwise wouldn't go to a SX race, show up just to see a takeout?
