Christian Projections

He looked pretty racey in qualifying and practice. I didn’t notice him in the main. He did better than I expected though.

Holy Moly 30 down votes? I obviously didn't send the correct amount of good vibes and fast ju-ju his way. I feel like his 12th place was all my fault. 

We gonna try again next weekend.... I'll meet you guys in the middle and say 10th? How many down votes for a 10th?

It was a semi solid night  for CC, 10th would be a fair prediction for Seattle.

15th in Seattle. 

F A D E D 

We're gonna "trust the process" gang. "We" have a few more rounds for that top 10. 😬

Maybe so, but he didn't fade any more than McElrath or really anyone 10th and behind.  They all lost 6-10 seconds a lap towards the end.  This highlights how badass everyone Barcia forward really is IMO.  I am not defending Christian, he has been vastly overrated since getting on a 450 for no reason.

17th in Foxborough's shitty conditions. 

15th in Philly.

It hasn’t been good. I wonder what Bobby Regan is saying.

At least he’s racing.

What’s Paige gotta say his finishes?

Like Chiz, 'racing' now is really all about creating content for the wife's socials. Otherwise it would just be all selfies, all the time.

Been a ghost, surprised haven’t noticed his name mentioned at all

We get to watch him mail it in for the next 2 years while someone who deserves the ride gets to eat @ BK. That's what happens when you put a ball boy on a factory bike. He even sucked at that. No wonder our sport is bush league.

Did Star put a clause in this contract like the last where if he pulls off and there’s no problems he’s fired? 

12th in East Rutherford.

Consistently 10-15th...on a full-factory Yamaha ride. 

Okie-dokie.

Have never understood the hate for this guy. Seems like a good dude and father of 3. He has had some major injuries and can still put in the mains. Always has been a better outdoor rider and should be around the top 10 if healthy this summer. 

 Christian seems like a really good guy.  The conversations around him have always been so negative for a dude who is talented and kind.  Sure he has a network, but that is advantageous in ANY career field.  Also, dude doesn’t ride for geico Honda anymore yet all the chatter from that feels like it’s carrying into today.  Twelfth place after several months off and moving up every weekend is progress to me but what do I know.  He’s technically got the 4th spot on the factory Yamaha 450 team.  Getting 12th as a 4th string guy out of 8 manufacturers….not bad 🤷🏽‍♂️ 

Let me get mad parts kawis number for him 

Since getting on the 450, he strikes me as someone who doesn’t really want to be out there. 

Swoon

No Prado, No Tomac, NO Ando, No Donut INC.

He went from 5th to 15th on the first lap. Will not race with these guys. Can't imagine Bobby will take too much more considering Deegs kicked him to the curb. As hard as he rides the 250 guys, to be a fly on the wall.

fastest lap was one full second behind Dean and two behind Mcelrath. track had two whoop sections. i don't blame him for being conservative on that piece of shit track, but it might not be working out there. 

Yeah I was thinking no Eli, Jett and Hunter. Forgot all about Anderson and Prado. Most likely wouldn’t even be top 15 with a full field. Take solace in your lites championship and beautiful family and contemplate hanging up the boots for pro racing 

Do we think he’s been SX only this entire time or is Star benching him for outdoors?

That is what I was thinking the other night. If everyone was healthy, he would be struggling to put it into the main. He's barely making it out of the heats right now. I don't think he needs to hang up the boots, but he's not living up to factory 450 expectations.
