That's no excuse for Barcia's tactics, though. It's one thing to ride hard and aggressive, but it's entirely different to endanger those around you.
How many other riders can claim they have injured as many people as Barcia? He broke Bowers's leg, caused this back injury for Ferrandis, these aren't small injuries.
It must have been a huge impact and that’s why he was DQ’d
But cutting the track and injuring someone needs a harsher penalty..
Look how chase and Eli raced each other all year FOR THE TITLE!!
Sad.
Saw the video from Barcias bike... that incident was not on him.
...but gather up your pitchforks....there has to be a villain to kill.
And how is it not on barcia. DF made a clean move to the inside and barcia b-lined it straight across the track to take DF out.
I can't believe what I read on a "core" MX board these days. I grieve for this sport if this mentality is it's future.
Barcia's DNF, warranted or not, was brought on by his continuously shitty behavior. No one to blame but himself for making it an easy decision for officials.
Fuck that, it's not cancel culture, it's being responsible for your actions, having some class and being a decent sportsman who respects their competition and themselves.
I've hated him ever since, with a passion. He's a punk on the track. I'm surprised DeCoster even hired him.
See the same with Webb and other "controversial" riders. Just like politics these days. "I'm right...you're wrong".
What I see in Barcia is a guy full of heart that wants every position he has...whatever that position is. He's a racer.
That's not to say he isn't aggressive. It'll be a sad day when JB retires.
Just imagine if this guy were racing today?
People would lose their shit and go blind from rage.
Like I said earlier....people need their "villain" to string up.
Proceed.

I'm going to tell a litte story here that I haven't told the general public. I'm telling it now because of your handle "Magoofan". I was right behind him at CMC Goldenstate race at Saddleback- maybe 1979 or '80. It was the first lap so I wasn't behind him for long. He pulled away pretty quickly, but anyway we were on the inside of left hand turn that went slighty downhill and a rider fell on the outside as you exited the turn. Chandler change his line and swung wide and ran him over in a what I considered intentional. There was no reason to go out wide from the position we were in.
As Magoofan pointed out above, can you imagine how much trouble Rex Staten would be in nowadays? He, and a host of others. I wish the best for Dylan!
Everyone accepts the risk when they swing a leg over a bike. Racing shit happens...
Keep riding that lynch-mob bandwagon.
Calm down this instant! 😁
Barcia is the easy "scapegoat" for peoples focus. When he's gone, it'll be someone else.
Cool history that you were able to race with one of the greats.
Post a reply to: Thanks Barcia..
