I didn't see it, but my wife thought Barcia was hilarious post race. Apparently he interrupted Musquin saying something like, "I gotta new bike too. It's a Yamaha. I know you all don't care about me, but I really like my bike. It's new."

He didnt really interrupt Marvin but he made a comment to Jason Weigant (who asked Marvin if they struggled with a new bike for outdoors) that he also had a new bike and wondered why he didnt get the same question. All in the name of laughs of course

Thanks for the update, Ray. Did he really say something close to what my wife told me?

Say what you want about Barcia, but the dude always ads a fun factor (well... maybe not if you are on the receiving end of a T-bone, but you get the point).
If I were an exec @ Yamaha I'd be thrilled by that comment.

I loved it! Weege blew the whole "new bike" thing out of proportion while kissing up to Marv.

Thanks, Ray! That was funny and cool. I'm glad all 3 guys had a good time and did not get hurt. Interesting comments about GH being dangerous - or parts of the track anyway.

Marvin is always full of excuses ..... It's a new bike, I had a problem out there or it was just racing. Loved it when Barcia pointed out he has a new bike also and he LOVES it and he LOVES that he's on the podium! Would love to see Barcia battle with Tomac all season.

In Marvins defense, he didn't bring up the new bike, Weege did

He brought it up on the podium.

I liked Barcia's response to the Glen Helen jump question. He definitely had the best responses out of anyone up there.
Would be nice to see a little more thought go into the questions.

That beat the Zombie looks and responses they usually have.
Don’t piss off the old people - the older they get the less “life in prison” is a deterrent for them!

I really didn't see it as an excuse...He mentioned they hadn't gotten much outdoor testing with it yet, but seemed happy to battle with Tomac and come out 2nd.
I swear, people get so worked up and nitpick about literally anything Marvin does.

He said he was really happy to take 2-2 on the day. Excuses? Really?
Back on topic:
I loved his rant after being asked what he thinks about GH. He just speaks his mind lol.

That was fun! I found the GH comment very interesting. Turns out these guys are actually part human.

I was cracking up. Justin adjusted his name tag, the microphone that he didn't share forcing Marvin and Eli to share (hilarious), and just full of comedy the whole time. He is just as much of a spazz off the track as on.

So far, every rider asked said they think those huge jumps are dumb. We'll see if they listen this week.

What's even more interesting to me... is Jody Weisel still building Glen Helen? Building the super huge jumps at Glen Helen seems sort of against everything that an old school moto guy would stand for. Especially if all of the top riders also think it's a bad idea.
I liked JB's reaction to the new bike question too, BTW. As soon as they asked Marv, you could see Barcia start to make a funny "WTH?" face. Pretty hilarious.

Not to hi-jack an always entertaining Harry thread, but did anyone catch Tomacs answer to the question in regards to if he was selected for this years MXDN team (10:00 minutes in)?
much ty. How to spot a paid forum poster/artificial forum traffic producer (see list of actions/phrases below):
Copius pattern amounts of phrases like “Anyone have”..., “Anybody know?”.... and their variations.
Thoughts?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
