Barcia T-Bone

As long as barcia feels bad about it afterwards I am ok with it

100% and everyone said it was James fault for turning down that hard too early in the race. 
 

we will see who everyone favors this time. I think I already know…

Everyone? Yeah ok

That was as brutal a T-bone that’s ever been done. MA800 just learned something new..

 Bam Bam Dum Dum

read every comment, still think Barcia failed to instinctively check up. looked weird, feels weird..weird shit man

Where was JB51 even going? He was way past the inside of the turn. I wouldn’t say Jett cut down early, but he was in the lower part of the corner. 

That was mainly Barcias fault but Jett should not have cut down that hard that early in the race. 

Vince maybe provoked that one

You cant go that high in the turn then just turn down sharply in the opening laps of the race.

Friends...we have seen this over and over again, turning down sharply in traffic is a recipe for disaster.

You've been around a long time. You are correct

It was obviously Hunter's fault . He took the preferred line forcing Jett to the inside into Barcia's path .  

The distance that Hunter covers vs. Barcia in these three frames tells you how hot Barcia came into that corner. Gnarly collision. 

Lets take a second and put AP in Barcia’s position;

Do you still feel the same way about the incident? 

Hate to see it.  Jett cuts down to set him up for the next corner outside triple. Tomac was making time on Jett there in the second moto tripling from the outside.  Tomac FTW!  

Exactly what I saw. Its dangerous to do that in the first couple turns. No fault completely a racing incident.

Jett cut down because, barring an insane approach angle & speed, it’s executed perfectly. Barcia’s unique approach to that corner was not in the cards. 

He figured jett would keep the line more open and come in behind him as jett got out of the corner. That would givechim thexoutside but still block vince. Thats what i saw anyways.

Barcia lol - “Welcome to the 450s!”

Barcias toes are pointing at the ground. He was full locked up trying not to hit him. Unfortunately too much initial front brake caused his back tire to lift. It was super bad judgement but JB definitely didn’t want to make that contact 

Yep. Sh-t happens. Barcia looked like he was trying to do a split second explanation to everyone “I thought he was gonna go wider.” All the other riders were like “Dam- bro”

Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. 34 times is "why hasnt anyone laid this fucking guy out yet?"

Barcia was never making that turn regardless of where Jett cut down. We have over a decade of evidence to know who Barcia is. Got people examining zapruder film trying to figure out what barcia was thinking when he was simply using Jett as a backstop. Aint that hard fellas.

We have decades of enough evidence to support not turning that far down on lap 1 too. 
 

racing incident. 

sure, if there was a universe where barcia was gonna make that turn at that speed, but its not this universe.

Looks like Jett dabbed his leg during the turn and thank God he did since it kinda pulled his leg back just a bit - his knee and femur could've been wrecked right there on a direct hit.  Barcia and Freezy, two menaces to racing.

It’s too bad, but it’s so satisfying at the same time.

Hard to anticipate a guy coming into a left hand turn at Mach 2, and turning right. 
 

He’s close to breaking the rule about riding the track in the wrong direction. 
 

He is certainly close to 180 degrees from Hunter on the same section of track. (See pics above)

Gave his brother to much room and didn’t think behind. It’s racing
