He's so talented, at least as talented as Ken and Eli – why isn't he a multi-time champ like them?
Consistently poor racing decisions and rides in a way that puts him at a disadvantage – leads to injuries, poor performances and limited team choices etc...
I don't think he even knows he does it or can change. He's like a bull, he sees a bike and goes for blood. Look at his efforts with AC this year, literally initiating contact or trying too when it wasn't on. Or Fucks with Bowers and Bowers breaks his leg.
He always say "yeah I don't know..." always. Call it rubbin's racing if you will, but there is a time and a place, and again, he's at least as talented as his two big classmates and has nothing to show for it.
What's really annoying is that he cries when he gets it back.

"Not Barcia's fault at all"
Yes, he's always a good boy that respects clean racing. /S

His reactions are really what make me dislike him

It’d be nice if he was able to at least own it sometimes.
Chase doesn't ride that way never has. but I don't think he will allow that kind of thing either.
biased hell yes. but in this sport riders have to secure their place, and if that means a little push back has to happen then it needs done. So the NEXT time they will think twice about that chit.
there is way to much talent in that whole group for that kind of thing to happen. we are just seeing history repeating it's self with the 51 yamaha.
I don’t dislike him, I just think his race craft is careless for his very high level of talent, and he puts himself and other riders in harms way.
Justin is a 10 year pro but races like a rookie 250 guy just out of the amateurs..
That doesn't make him automatically the at fault party in this incident, though. Like I said originally, it looks to me like Sexton bounced off the berm, which caused him to cut into Barcia's line and they both went down. Total racing incident.
It’s not show friends it’s show business.
I think that's part of what makes some of these guys champions is the fact they can ride at that level but still have a clear mind. If you're going for it as hard as you can to where all you see is red...things are just going to happen, as they do with Barcia. He isn't analyzing on that turn with Sexton..."oh if I go a little wide I may bump him and he/we may go down." That dude has adrenaline filled eyes seeing red pinned going for it as hard as he can. He doesn't care about the outcome, he just pins it.
In races in the past I have gotten in this position where I know at any time I may have a catastrophic failure because I was riding way over my head...but sometimes it got me a win...sometimes it put me on the ground. That's where I agree with whoever said he still kind of rides like a 250 rookie. I love to watch it! But instead of poetry in motion its more like destruction in motion..like the little Decepticon robot in the box in Transformers that they transformed from a Nokia cell phone.
I ain't gonna lie though like I've said before...its super fun to see him when he is on/over the edge like that! The minefield comment is the most accurate I could think of.
