El Hombre and Bam Bam tweets?

Love watching Ando ride but he needs to stop that shit if he wants to win another championship. This isn’t Stew vs Reedy days when it was one on one.

To me it didn't look fully intentional. El Hombre had too much heat. He was on a rager after that though.

Let’s first understand what may have happened in the pits before we wonder about Twitter. C’mon, first things first.

JA's speed when he is on, is amazing. I also think his unique style is cool. That being said, I'm not sure he has the right mindset to win another title. How many times do we see him getting in lappers' faces if they don't pull completely off the track for him? And getting into these back and forth contact battles with his fast competition.  It just seems like little stuff like that is what you want to avoid and he just doesn't. 

From what I saw it’s just another Barcia incident. When are the officials going to stop Barcia from taking out  other racers?
 

Has he ever passed anyone clean?

…wat?

I liked how Barcia just walked back to his bike like “well, can’t say I didn’t deserve that one”.

Not stoked on the fact that what we’re hearing from Anderson is so different than what we’re seeing. Racing incident or not, it’s the same guy he’s been having issues with for 2 years now, and yet all we hear is “I’m trying to be better.” At some point we will have to assume he doesn’t give a f*ck and everything he says about cleaning up the problems is BS. 

Ando being a dumbass again.... putting himself further out of title contention.

He didn’t “just walked back to his bike like “well, can’t say I didn’t deserve that one”.

He quickly got back to his bike to get back into the race. 

Barcia was riding aggressively. 

It's so annoying being an Anderson fan. He makes SUCH stupid moves. He arguably lost the championship last year because he made so many stupid moves. This years looks like more of the same.

both of them are guilty of shit riding, neither is better or worse than the other

Anderson is doing is absolute best at trying to lose this championship, he most likely already has. 

Same old Anderson. Everybody gives Barcia a ton of shit, but Ando has also always been a take out artist. 

Once again, Jason’s personal vendetta cost him his best chance for a race win all year.  He was going way faster than Barcia and had that pass made.  He had zero reason to take Justin all the way to the hay bales putting them both at the back of the pack.  Think how frustrating it must be to his team to watch him do this stupid stuff week after week.

I believe Anderson realized he's not a contender for this championship after 1-2 rounds. If the opportunity for a race win/bonus isn't there either he's going to do stuff like this. 

I could be off base but I really don’t understand why he’s riding so aggressive this year, and it’s not like it’s just with Barcia (e.g.Coop)… to me it seems he is riding like entitled when he’s making those moves and 9/10 times it’s just hurting him.. Aggressive riding makes sense in the right scenarios but his aggression has just been pure emotional 

The two of them have become the same

This is the literal definition of someone living rent free in another rider's head.  Ando doesn't seem to be focused on winning races, and he's fast as fuck at times.

Ando had the speed to win I thought . He’s become his own worst enemy . I’m a fan , I like his style , but cmon man … 

Whatever. It's all just fine if it is a last transfer spot. But everybody whines any other time.

There’s a difference between not making the night show and making the pass a few turns later…

One’s shit riding has earned him a 450 title. The other’s shit riding has not earned a 450 title. 
 

Not everyone can be Johnson, Stanton, Bale, Stewart, Vilapoto, Carmichael, Dungey, or Tomac. 
 

some have to be Anderson and Barcia. 

Agreed.  Why else would he take him out in San Diego and then tweet that Barcia was somehow at fault?  Anderson has had podium speed all year, but is busy riding like an idiot and not just with Barcia.  Yelling at rappers and getting super pissed in qualifying etc etc.  Someone needs to tell him to quit being an idiot.  A quick calculation would reflect it has cost him more than 100K in Bonus/Purse $ too.  That's a shitload of cash from someone known to be very frugal.

I'm pretty sure he intended to fully stop Barcia so he could get away without retaliation. You know that Ando expects some payback and was trying to get away without dealing with it. Had he just parked Barcia he had the speed to get away, but yes, things didn't go as fully intended.

I was at the race last night and he was absolutely slicing through the field. Don’t know how much they showed on the broadcast, but it was probably the most impressive thing other than Hunter’s ride. 

This year?
