Looking a little off pace right now for sure.  Still mega talented and mega fast...  just behind the top 10 right now, which can look slow by factory contract standards.

Im just not understanding his bike struggles, he said he has struggled all year especially this weekend why not just go back to the setup they ran last year? 

He’s on the old frame, but not the forks he had dialed in

If you want to deny the realities of age when it comes to athletic performance, I can't help you. You're just wrong.

Of course age effects athletic performance. But it is being displayed again and again 40 is the new 30. In pro sports throughout all disciplines athlete's prime performance years seem to be getting older. I don't know why, modern training, diet, medicine, but it is undeniable. We will never see 45-year-old Olympic gymnasts, but 30 something motocross champs and 40 something super bowl quarter backs are a very real possibility. This was unheard of 15-20 years ago even.

30 is certainly looking like the new 20 with guys like Tomac, Anderson, and Roczen. Even put Webb in there, being 28, and faster than ever. Remember Wardy was the grizzled vet on his way out at 30? But until proven otherwise, 40 is still 40. At least at the highest levels of motocross.

Ask Billy L how racing supercross is at 40. Huge respect for the guy to make two mains. So far. Cool story he's putting together.

Barcia won 450 Phoenix supercross in 2013 eleven years ago.  He’s had a hell of a career.  Still going too.  Still a factory rider.  He’s a warrior. 

He's not a warrior, he has to make a living like the rest of us too.

"Race Weight" is different for everybody. Remember how freaking thin he looked when he was doing the Aldon Baker program?

I thought it was bike set-up and the 48mm front forks vs the 52mm's he used last year.

I wish I was as fast as you so I could tell professional racers they're slow and fat... 😂

The guy's struggling with health and setup, give him a break.

He's been crashing a lot and Daytona was no different.

Justin Barcia: "Daytona definitely wasn't the result we wanted, but we had some positives in practice, qualified a lot better today and there's some light at the tunnel, which was cool. Led a little bit in the Heat, like half a lap, and then got a bit tight and ended up going down once, but it was okay. In the Main Event, I didn't get off the start the best, had a couple of bobbles, crashed and really just struggled to hold on – I had some bad arm-pump tonight. We'll regroup again and be back at it next week!"

Beards never help. If you ever want to look like you lost 20lbs, grow beard let it marinate for 6 months with everyone, then shave it

Because the kawi is a better package, especially SX.

Is that why there is only 1 Kawckasucki in the 450 main every weekend?

Facts. I'm rocking the winter beard right now and I'm iching to shave. You look like a different person. I don't wanna jump the gun though. We could still get some cold weather in the Northeast and no facial hair in the cold sucks.
