I feel like he definitely should after last night. He took two people out in one lap.
He certainly should. He has helped create and perpetuate a hostile environment on the racetrack regarding passing an opponent.
I don’t think Anderson should have received probation for his passes, and I don’t necessarily think Barcia should be put on probation for last night… but if you’re going to give it to Anderson, for overly aggressive riding, you need to give it to Barcia, too.
Of course, it’d be counterintuitive for Feld to continue marketing the Bam-Bam schtick for promo while penalizing him for doing so, so we won’t see anything happen from this. On to next week where he’ll do more of the same.
Yeah don’t understand how Barcia has got away with it for years then they put Anderson on probation.
They’ve set the precedent now.

At this stage he’s he needs racing prohibition not probation.
Watching the broadcast last night, it was clear to see that AC saw the futility of trying to hold barcia at bay.
AC couldn't have gone any wider exiting the turn than he did.
And still, barcia...
I was thinking same thing. If you going to do it to Anderson then keep same rules for everyone or don’t do it at all.
BamBam not Barcia. Total punk move taking AC out knowing the guy is coming back from so much time away.
If AMA doesn't put BamBam on probation, someone there needs to grow a pair. But then again, BamBam was on probation at SLC, took Mookie out but got to keep his 3rd place finish.
While nobody out on course should be treated special in any way, we're seeing Adam ride with such awareness of where he is fitness wise.
We've all watched as he makes sure that he's not holding up anyone moving forward while he's in rebuilding mode.
Wasn't a vicious take down, but it was a completely douche move.
The real question is what accent has he developed???? Probation just for that.
It surprised me how many times Anderson probation was talked about. It felt like manufactured drama. Kinda like pro wrestling..
Feld promotes the races and the “Bam-Bam schtick” only.
AMA issues the probations/disciplinary actions.
two different groups doing two different responsibilities.
He has run his game to tired level. He knows adam isn’t going to beat him right now. D bag move. My vote would be bench him for a round. Sorry not sorry.
It’s so bad and so “him” I don’t think he has the ability to stop himself. It’s like a kleptomaniac, it’s compulsive. I’m surprised sponsors don’t take him to task in it. Is he not the most disliked guy on the track by the fans? He has his pack of fans who think it’s great but beyond that the majority can’t stand him. If I was a sponsor I wouldn’t be happy that this is the kind of attention he gets. The ONLY kind of attention he gets.
I love me some Barcia, and seeing him getting close to Anderson was exciting. Two guys willing to race each other hard.
But the move on AC is so pathetic. Gave him space, he’s just doing his laps. And Barcia just has to go there. He needs a good punt over a berm sometimes. It’s crazy how many guys he has put down.
Love what a little biatch Barcia has become. Notice how he always goes after guys that will not give it back to him. But when it comes to Anderson he will not get close enough to tempt him.
Yep, my wife about lost it... She was instantly saying that was a bitch move on AC.
Adam knows he's not battling for podiums right now and has literally pulled aside for guys on the move...
....and here we go again.
Maybe we should start just running people around the track 1 at a time to prevent this.
Contact happens all the time.... they're just showing you Barcia because it makes for good ratings.
For the record, I think Andos "probation" is bullshit too.
Pit Row
Barcias doucheability seems unlimited..
There’s good reason this topic comes up over and over..
Aw shuck's folks it was just a scratch. Relax peoples
Yeah, I was like thinking “Adam, just go off the track” because Barcia was going to take him out. Where is Bogle when you need him - that was awesomely last year.
Knew the whiners would be out. Deano and Colt used the same damn pass on each other and I dont see anyone bitching about those two. Heres an idea for slower riders. Get the fuck out of the way, especially if its Barcia you're trying to block. Its not going to work out in your favor. Nothing wrong with either pass.
So you’re telling us the riders are wrong on their opinion of racing barcia and you know better than them ?
Symphony of Destruction is Barcia’s theme song
Agreed.
I don’t think Barcia touched Nichols. If he did it was minor and Nichols lost balance and went off the course.
Cianciarulo tried to give Barcia the position and maybe AC thought it was over and forgot to finish it? It didn’t look like there was much contact.
Barcia is a legend, and you don't put legends on probation. The small minds at the vitalmx message boards don't know how to deal with that.
Carry on, I'm going to continue with my ban until Michael apologizes to me and lifts the ban on my J. Sloan account.
How many times does it have to be explained that the promoter (FELD) and sanctioning body (AMA) are not the same. Feld can promote whatever they want and ama can punish for aggressive riding.
You mean the guy that was on probation last year?
