Why not? I mean maybe it's not "accurate", but I think it's definitely fair.
BobPA has been arguing that Tomac is not "on a different level" than Barcia outdoors because last time they raced a series together Barcia out-pointed Tomac. I'm saying that Tomac was only in his 3rd year as a pro, and that clearly in the second half of the season he upped his game to well above Barcia's, which can be seen in the fact that he bettered Barcia in seven motos straight going into Elsinore moto 2, and would surely have made it eight straight and secured 2nd in points had Baggett -- not Barcia, it's important to note -- not "broken" him in moto 1, as Emig said. (Well, actually he said Baggett "has broke" him.)
Tomac left the 250 class a year later on a different level than Barica ever was outdoors, with an mx title in hand. If you think Barcia's going to beat Tomac this year, say it's because Eli's a rookie, or because he's coming into it inured. Don't point to their 250 careers, because they won't back your cause.
Barcia will occasionally ahve the speed+starts to run with Dungey, but not often enough to beat him for the title. That goes for everyone but Stewart, I believe. Based only on what they're capable of---between JS and JB, it's gotta be JS.
@Whoops blitzer , how is it "fair?" your not racing the same competition, your not racing the same race track on the same day. its a meaningless comparison. Apples to apples and you're also full of IF AND BUTS.....how come no one can deal with just the facts and eliminate personal bias?
Tomac had more wins than Barcia, and was in a championship scenario at the last round (albeit slim, he had one). I'm not arguing that Barcia didn't beat Tomac in points in 2012. My only point is, that it's my opinion that if it was Tomacs goal to win 2nd place and not go for 1st, he could have done it. He risked 2nd place security for a chance at the championship, a position Barcia wasn't in. So yes, Barcia beat Tomac in points, but Tomac lost 2nd place by going for the championship. He also had more moto wins and overall wins than Barcia that year.
Whoops Blitzer makes some good points, too. I see where you're coming from, but I still think that 2012 outdoors, Tomac was more impressive than Barcia.
