Oof, tough year for Barcia. No podiums, just two top-5 finishes in 15 rounds with guys like Anderson, Tomac, Lawrence 1 and Lawrence 2 not racing and now missing the last 3 rounds due to an injury. Hopefully he can heal up quick and find some success outdoors!

Is this real or just a more tactful way than disappearing after track walk to handle contract stuff not going well?

Half the privateers just moved up one rung on the finishing order. Won't affect the factory guys.

If Chase or Cooper gets a bad start, the risk of getting punted on the way to second just got reduced. Nothing but love for Bam Bam though, just business.

Not happy about this, but Barcia needs to hit the "reset" button anyway.

Barcia is at his limit right now and that is about 6-12th place with the depleted field this year. I'll be surprised if he even races the Nationals...or if he does, won't make it only a few rounds. He's def not what he was...he was never really a serious championship contender for the 450 class but always had chances for the occasional podium or odd win. Hopefully he gets healthy and re-invigorated to actually contend for a win.

The year with Baker was the finisher lol in all seriousness if he goes to Ducati he’ll be a 7-10 guy with a occasional top 5 I think. Give him a 2 year deal with no pressure and cool shit with Troy and Ducati.

So According to Pulp , this is the first year since 2017 he hasn't had a podium

Plus the problem with his rear brake pedal “dropping to the floor”.

I just wonder if training at Baker's is too much for his body at age 33.

He has so many past injuries, maybe going back to his old program would be less stressful. 

 I hear that Barcia is always going 120 percent when he trains,IMO maybe he backs it off a bit and gives his body a break before he gets on the Ducati ?

Never been a better time for the remaining guys to get some career best results.

Did they make it 9 whoops to help the guys that jump instead of blitz?

I guess if you aren't a regular podium threat you should just fuck on off.

Nope...that's not how it works fellas.

You guys can bash him all you want but he is still making bank for racing a motocross bike. If I were him, I'd keep collecting a paycheck as long as my body would let me. Plenty of time for fucking off once it's over.

JB has always been and will always be...entertainment. I agree that he ought to keep on keeping on until he makes the decision not to. Like other pro racers, he has a beautiful wife & young family, and probably a healthy bank account. Before too long, he'll see them as being more important than prolonging his career.

Exactly, I'm a big fan of the journeymen.  Just making a name and maintaining a lengthy career is bad ass in a sport like this.  More don't than do.

^^^^Plowboy driven to using profanity?^^^^

That takes a lot. Actually it’s the first time I’ve seen it. 

Barcia has been a badass for a long time. He still is.
