In the Dirt Shark video ( I know they usually suck...but they are getting better) it shows Barcia and Tomac getting into it for a few corners during practice and then it shows Tomac pointing at the leader board kinda putting it in Barcia's face that he's on top.
Why hasn't anybody else(media) mentioned this?
I’M NOT F*#$ING SWAP….OK!

I am a Tomac fan so this has some bias, but I am also a fan of Barcia. But Barcia messing with ET in practice in those corners just confirms to me that the "new Bam Bam" is probably still the same old Bam Bam. He got humbled, almost found himself without a ride, turned it around, has a new contract now so don't worry the same little d***head who once roosted a downed rider and trackside medic will slowly start to surface.
Old MXer turned Superfan.

Most every dude out there , has some sort of tension between other rider(s). It's racing , and it's how they make a living , so yeah temper's can flare. It's competition......the same thing as when the galdiator's were doing it in Rome. I expect nothing less.

Who cares! What if this happened in the 80/90’s practice session?? Eli would have parked his ass back then pointed at the leader board.. I like them both and I think that they can both handle it.. if I was getting paid to race I would fuck with the other riders as well... stop being so sensitive and enjoy the show

Heck yeah Leger! Aggression , attitude , the will to win and just basically put everyone else feeling aside....is what this sport is about. When it comes right down to it , it's you , your machine , against everyone else! And you would be mistaken if you thought your competitors thought any different!

Was there not a press conference just a couple weeks ago consisting of a light mood between the two about this topic specifically?
Why come off like you're apologizing just so you can keep the shenanigans going? Confusing.

I honestly don't know why guys put up with that shit from Barcia. I'm not saying he started whatever he was doing with Tomac, but over the past he's always fucked with other riders like that. He seems like a little pussy to me. Just saying. And that Bercy race from back on the 250s kind of proved it. Or how about when he hit Mookie in the helmet at Daytona. Lol I'm sure Mookie could rip his head off. I just think one good ass whooping would really help Barcia's attitude.

Cuz nobody cares about the leaderboard until the main event. ....
I think what eli was saying was: “HEY YOU SEE THAT OVER THERE? Yea the kawsaki rig?! I’ll be headed back to the pits way before you pussy!!! Yea I mean before the mains over bitch. Shits serious.”
I hated barcia when he rode for geico Honda on the 250 because he was over the top aggressive. Now I love the guy. He don’t owe anybody else on that track an inch, I like his take it mentality.

I like Eli being angry. More likely to get mentally stronger if he gets in more fights!

On another note, apart from boobs, lots of boobs, a good reason to watch the DS vids is because there are some different tv/video angles.
It's nice seeing the scale of the jumps etc... Conveying how gnarly MX/SX is, is super hard. Wish the cameras were down low more often.

In this sport......he is 100%. I'm not even a huge Barcia fan , but to say that guy doesn't leave everything he has out on the track , at just about every race? I don't know what racing you're watching. The guy " In this sport " , is 100% a gladiator.

Funny how Eli never has any luck according to his fans. All down to bad luck, nothing to do with Eli himself.
I'm sure Barcia doesn't care one bit that Eli qualified first considering that Eli is the rider out of the championship chase and Barcia is still in it.

Love you too buddy.
