As long as he can be a threat for a win on any given night (and he is), they probably could give 2 shits.  He's the only hope they have for a win or podium at the least.  JA21 knows this, Kaw knows this, and AC9 damn sure knows it as well.  He probably won't get anything more than a "behave yourself a bit more out there" type of talking to if anything.....

Respectfully disagree..

The one time SX champion was hired to bring home another SX title to team green....  

I'll wager the farm they are not happy with his stupid Barcia antics....

The more i think about what you said, I'll gladly admit I'm wrong.  I didn't think of the scenario that way, you do have a hell of a point, Sir.

Kawasaki probably protested the move so Anderson would stop sabotaging himself. Laughing

If JA is on probation it may actually help his chances to finish better.  He seems to be more interested in taking people out than winning.  I’m sure he wants to do both but ain’t going to happen.

 

He's not interested in taking people out, he's interested in taking Barcia out.

He's a 450 SX champion. They should feel fortunate. Win or lose El Hombre is moto.

This argument obviously worked for his agent the first time when they signed with Kawi. Why change the strategy right?

Between him and Adam, Kawasaki have their bases covered. Who else would they possibly have? Craig?

Dumb Dumb proved that when it comes to the AMA being placed on probation means absolutely nothing. Last year he was placed on probation only to be placer on double probation than double secrete probation and finally penalized at the last race.

Then why is he bitching at lappers and Cade getting "in his way" on a qualifying heater?

His agent didn’t have to sell Jason to Kawasaki. Besides, he doesn’t have an agent. He has a mgr.

Bam Bam got a slap on the wrist.  A real penalty would have been docked a postion or two taking his SLC podium spot and bonuses from him.  I didn't agree with every decision John Gallagher made but no way he wouldn't have let Barcia keep his SLC podium.

The worst was Bam Bam cutting the course and taking Ferrandis down.   Be great if he decides to go to MXGP to finish his career.

Bottom line is that he needs to get focused and quickly if he wants a shot at this title. He isn't out of it yet by any means but he needs to drop the nonsense.

You should never expect another competitor to just “give up” something. 
 

I think they are both racing great.

You mean when Ferandis pushed him off course?

How much money have they cost themselves? Over the years it has to be a chunk.

His team should be unhappy about Jason being put on probation, and they should be equally unhappy with his response to being put on probation.  Jason has next level talent, and can be a threat for the title, but that will never happen if he continues to lose focus of winning the title and gets into spats with other riders.  Someone like Webb, Sexton, or Tomac will not waste time playing with Barcia out on the track. They want to get up front and gets points.

My guess is Kawasaki is paying Jason a lot of money to win titles and not get a lot of likes on social media when he asks, "who my probation officer". Simply put, these things are costing Jason valuable points as they did in 2022, and I highly doubt his bosses at Kawasaki are happy about that.
