Regardless of being forced off track, you can’t cut the corner, hold the gas on and obliterate who just passed you.
He lost his mind like usual and resorted to being a dipshit. Again.
Any other rider wouldn’t have been DQd I believe.

He did not accelerate. He panic reved in the air on the dirt mounds on the track edges.
Then he did a standard block pass on ferrandis.
From ferrandis comments it sounded like he passed bam on the corner b4.
Then bam pinned it down the inside of the track, cut the corner and t-boned him.
From watching the video bams side is closer to the truth then ferrandis.
Do I think bam is 100% innocent no. But all he did wrong was coming back onto ferrandis line at the very end. Everything b4 was a racing incident.
The guy is too good of a racer, especially in the mud, to be pulling this stuff at this point in his career. If I was DeCoster, I wouldn't have him on my brands in 2023.
Isn't it as simple as that?

I'm with you, Andy.
To be honest, I don't understand how this video changes people's mind about Barcia action...
1. He gets passed clean from the inside in an off camber
2. He could've let off, braked instead of forcing the issue. Dylan made the pass.
3. He knows the track and where he was and by forcing the issue that would put him super tight, or in this case off the track, for the next turn
4. He jumps off the track inside the yellow marker. He had another opportunity to jump on the brakes but decided to keep his momentum to make a counter attack.
5. He went straight to the exit of the corner to make the pass. Once again, he just cut the track or went off the track, put it the way you want, and went to the exit of the corner to pass someone. Cutting the track to go block pass someone isn't very allowed and it's very dangerous... There's no way Dylan knew Barcia was gonna do that because he squeezed the inside and left no room for a counter attack
6. I've ridden there before. I've raced Budds Creek many times. I took that turn many times. I can put myself on that turn with someone doing what Barcia did and I can put myself making the turn like Dylan did. I can assure you if you'd see a drone footage of this action, you'd be like, WTF was he thinking!
Self fulfilling prophecy.
Common denominator.
Such is life.
I suppose there are people all around the tracks and they've probably seen things they judged wrong and took their responsabilities so there must have been more than what this poorly placed cam shows.
“1. He gets passed clean….” You can’t see that from the GoPro footage or any other images presented so far. If anything, the footage makes it look like Dylan bumps Barcia off the track. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
From what we’ve seen so far, it’s inconclusive and unless an AMA official witnessed what happened firsthand, then it doesn’t appear to be a DQ worthy offence.
Although Barcia’s had enough accumulated offences to earn a DQ every second weekend 😂
Dylan’s bumps barcia off track. Barcia re renters an off camber corner with speed from the bump, goes for the berm where traction is. Hits Dylan. Racing incident, that’s it.
Barcia is Dylan’s scapegoat for his lackluster performance so far.
