In the post race presser Barcia talked about running into Webb in the corner after the finish line. He said they had some words but apologized, then followed it up by saying he did a bunch of "stupid stuff" back in the day......even mentioning Kroc and ET being able to attest to that fact. He said that racing was a lot more fun when it was clean, sounds like he has his head on straight and has matured a lot............

Yeah that was funny man. With ken he was reffering to his whip mid air very close to kens front wheel. That was indeed sketchy
Im liking his new attitude

His new attitude is better.

That and injuries were really holding him back.

I'm a fan. I wasn't before. It has been fun to watch his career resurrection.

Agreed I am a big fan of this Barcia, riding aggressive, but not dirty and having a good time.

However its easy to be happy when your doing well, its his off nights that will tell the story, so lets just hope it all holds up then as well.

This is all making for some great racing!

Definitely liking how Barcia has come along! I hope he gets an extended/permanent contract with Yamaha because he deserves it!

1. He was happy before the season started. He made the decision to BE happy
2. The off weekend was last weekend. He came back smiling and killed it

I love the new Barcia. He said he has enough money at this point (before the season) he could actually retire. Sounds like he went in to the season riding for the fun of it and not for the job of it. Combine that with a good team and great bike and you get what we see. Should be a good lesson for young riders.

He's a much more technical rider, and seems more mature. I thought his time was over, and that Yamaha made a mistake. I love it when I'm wrong sometimes lol. What a turnaround, it's awesome.

For the first time ever, I find myself actually liking Barcia. He certainly seems to have matured a lot and has a genuine appreciation for where he is at.

I’m definitely a fan again. It was hilarious when he mentioned slamming into the other guys on the podium in the past.

I was wondering if he might come unraveled after hearing about him and Cooper getting into after A2, and then a reported incident with Marvin in the Glendale practice, but it seems like he's in a good spot and maybe this is for real. It's always good to have more top guys riding well and competitive for wins.

Mmmmm, it's good to see and obvious that motivation from having no options has been good for him. But.... His A1 reaction to Marv, track re-enter with Reed and argument with Coop last week tells me the psychotic Barcia is still in there. Let's see if it lasts 17 races before proclaiming "I'm healed!"

Yes I agree, much better! The sport is already too dangerous, don't need to make it even more!

I definitely agree with this. He has always been a bit of a hothead for his entire career, and the signs are still there. It's just at a low level simmer right now instead of a full on boil.
