You wanna see a Tbone watch that sx when musquin hits tomac.
For a little reference, here's the relative path of each rider, the point of the bump off the track and the point of collision.
You can't really ascertain from that video 1) the angle of Barcia's line relative to the direction of the track and 2) How wide the track is there and that he likely could have grabbed the brakes and carved left in the direction of the track instead of going straight, all the way to the outside of the corner to intercept Ferrandis.
Sorry can’t embed on mobile for some reason.
The thing about it is that he seems to bounce off of the pile of dirt on the inside of the corner, which would make it very difficult to make the inside line. All day there were max 2 lines through there, 1 on the inside that kept getting blown out and one on the outside. If you bounce and cant make the inside, just about any rider would have drifted out to the outside berm to get some drive for the downhill triple.
Barcia’s betting that no other footage exists. There are numerous examples of him laying off the brakes and intercepting the race line at a 90 degree angle, which appears to be the case here. Admittedly the GoPro footage looks like a non-issue, but DQs are so harsh and so rare that there must be additional evidence.
Grow a pair ferrandis.
Pit Row
You can also clearly see the mound of dirt on the inside of the turn that he landed on, which should tell you it would've been more difficult to make the inside of that corner.
DF drove him off slightly off the track…
MX Sports made a bad call and should apologize to Barcia.

To me this looks like Ferrandis is the reason Barcia was "off the track" and upon re-entering, there was un intentional contact.
Not a blatant take out IMO
Post a reply to: Anyone have video of Barcia taking Ferrandis down?
