That was the Barcia and Tomac we want to see.

Glad Barcia didn't try anything silly and it was nice to see them both speak well of each other after.

Ok, so now we know, Tomac, the 3x champ is back. Looked like maybe not halfway through that moto.

That, and another riding looking at him wrong won't derail his entire race like has happened to to Bam Bam on a number of occasions.

Well Barcia won't be on a Yamaha so hopefully he's faster. Even though this second moto it seems like they may have finally found something that Justin can ride.

Justin has to show he can ride a whole series at this pace. He has not been able to in the past.

Remember, he won at this track before right?

Anyone else nervous for that KX finishing the race? JFC, how many practice bikes does Eli go through in a year?

450 Moto 2:

AC looked amazing and had the fastest lap time 2nd moto, but he doesn't have the stamina to hang with the veterans yet.

And how about Sexton's fastest lap faster than Tomac and Zach and 3rd fastest of the 2nd moto?

Bam Bam has heart. Just puts it all out there, and amongst this deep crop of technically precise riders, it's hard not to love a guy who can win riding like a complete feet-off-the-pegs goon.

Good to see Barcia continue to ride well. I’ve been somewhat critical of him in the past but that’s only because I’m not a fan of the way he rides sometimes when he’s not doing so hot and going backwards. But when he’s riding that well and going forward it seems to be a nonissue.

The more guys capable of winning the better in my opinion.

Shaping up to be a helluva championship. I love the Barcia flashes of brilliance, the parody on the podium and seeing Eli not rolling over.
I hate to see Max down for so long. We need all those guys who can run top 10 healthy. Hope he’s ok. Glad to see Bogle line up moto 2.
Another note, damnit Benny, put 2 motos together PLEASE!

I have always been a fan...even when I was shouting, "what the f@$k Barcia". I wish he could find a consistent motivator.

Tickle is quietly killing it so far - making the most of a brand new bike to crack the top 10. He and Barcia need to put their heads together and figure out how to holeshot the Blue Pig. Bc when Tick gets a good start, he tends to hold on to that position to the bitter end.

Same. Some of his antics have put me off over the years, but, like with Ferrandis, it's hard not to side with the guy who puts his whole heart into it.

It must be that ski they replaced the rear wheel with after rvs testing

Seems to be when he's searching for a ride that he rides really well IMHO. Nonetheless it's been exciting to watch the battles these last few races to say the least. This historic championship battle will most likely go down to the wire, may the best rider win. It may be Barcia's best chance at a title with the shortened series.

Bam bam needs to be signed to a week to week contract with a large championship bonus.

Hope he likes his red KTM.

Well, he knows he can ride Tomac's pace. Hopefully that keeps him triggered. Good tracks coming up...this might be a Barcia/Tomac throw down.

Who didn’t smile when good ol’ Bam Bam threw her all the way sideways towards the end?

Awesome to see him riding to his potential.

Can’t claim he doesn’t care / have heart.

It's not a lack of motivation. He's had a lot of nagging injuries at inopportune times and bad luck. I'll bet nobody would have thought a couple years ago that he would still be one of the best out there. The dude has massive heart and yes he's done some boneheaded stuff. I cant help but be a fan because I've believed all along that he still has it in him.
