Would be great to see for sure. There is a part of me that thinks he could easily just return to form and be a contender again. But then I think about 2017 and it seems impossible. When he is doing well I like his attitude both on and off the track but when he is back marking it's hard to stomach.

I'm kinda feel the same way. He has performed well at this event and also on a Honda.
Hoping to see the old Bam Bam back, he was exciting as hell when racing at the front with Honda.

He might, but you definitely can't judge Barcia's results by insta-bangers. He's the all-time king of looking fast.

I feel like when he really looks great he I'd great. Remember the days of him whipping it in roczen's face and jumping across that corner in Toronto
I was at Budds Creek when they were both in the 250 Class. The whip he threw in his face over the finish line jump about took his head off!! It was Huge!

I can't believe he couldn't or didnt want factory suspension? The bike is plenty capable, but having a smaller suspension shop set it up for SX is a bit strange. Luckily there are no hoops or crazy sections.

The bike has a Showa A kit on it.

^^^ Deserves? No one deserves anything. Put in the hard work and it will eventually pay off. Worked for Wilson.

Still not factory showa. I'm talking the Showa techs who set it up for SX. Just because it's A kit suspension, doesn't mean its the same stuff that Brayton would use on his bike for SX. Thats all I'm getting at.

Factory Showa (Ryo) supplied the suspension and the base settings to start with. His shock is identical in components to what HRC would use and his forks are darn close...

Being desperate for a contract, I'd guess he'd win or crash trying.

Dam close, and it won't make a difference on his results.

There's no better motivation than having to sell a few of your R8s to buy and stock a Sprinter van.
