You'd think there would still be a penalty, for being off track and on the throttle and ending up in a retaliatory take out, however minor that penalty may otherwise have been (think dropping a position or couple of points) but if you do it all the time and don't learn or can't control your temper then it stands to reason that the seriousness of the penalty gets knocked up a notch, no?
Same ol' same ol'.
I’m shocked but not surprised that Barcia was DQ’d. I am surprised the decision was made so quickly and without a statement as to why. In light of recent events directly and indirectly impacting MX Sports, full disclosure seems prudent.
and no need to stop there, we need a new promotor for the nationals as well... we don't deserve the WWE shit show that we are receiving...

"If anyone passes me or is just fast enough I can't pass them cleanly, I am AIMING for their bike to put them on the ground."
That is what Barcia does. It doesn't matter one iota if it was a 90-degree T-bone or not. The point is the man has a pattern of getting mad anytime someone passes him and then aims to put them on the ground all the time.
No one should have any sympathy for him at all.
Ferrandis is in the wrong he pushed Barcia off the track why would he expect Barcia to go hard on the brakes and let Ferrandis pass when he could make a block pass instead

b. A rider leaving the course may continue the race by properly re-entering the course at the closest point to
where the rider left the course, without gaining an advantage. If a rider leaves the course for any reason, the
rider must immediately slow down to a safe speed so as not to endanger life or limb of other riders, crew
members, officials, or the public. It will be the responsibility of the Race Director or his designee to determine
whether the rider gained an advantage upon re-entry or failed to slow down after leaving the course. A rider
may be determined to have gained an advantage without gaining a position.
1) Immediately slow down
2) Safe speed
3) Not gain a position
4) Safe to enter the race track
BAM
I don’t think the vid really helps JB’s case much. He left the track in 8th, re-entered in 7th and slammed a guy. What are we arguing about?
If anything, Barcia should be penalized for gaining an advantage off the track more so than for the collision.
He's not like a guy who occasionally gets pissed when he's passed hard and retaliates. He seems unable to make a pass without contact, and practically always looks like it's intentional.
Ok, ok...so maybe he's only 99% asshole.
Pit Row
Here's the play by play:
Looks like Ferrandis may have gave him an elbow when he cut over.
Barcia decides to keep on the gas instead of check up.
So he jumps inside of the turn marker (cutting the track obviously)
Proceeds to go STRAIGHT at the outside rut (where Ferrandis will be once he meets him in the corner) instead of turning in earlier
At which point he wfo banks into the outside line where you can see him smoke into Ferrandis's front wheel and fork. Just as planned.
Barcia needs to stop taking out riders as retaliation for passing him. Anyone gives him a little elbow and he t-bones them every time. He can never take half of what he dishes out.
Do you ride a PW-50 with 280mm disc brakes?
If any of you think that Barcia didn’t know what he was doing or couldn’t have avoided what he did, you are higher then Cheech and Chong in all their movies put together.
One guys moving forward. The other guys moving backwards and takes people out who he feels wronged him...
