I have to admit I thought Barcia was a bust but he showed me wazup in the 2nd moto...my guess is that kid never touches a 250f again!

The Suzuki disaster is a much bigger story that Barcia getting a moto win. IMO

Barcia winning a moto in a mud race is not that big a deal to me. Swanepoel's moto win was much more interesting IMO.

One of the 450 championship contenders watching everyone blast away from the gate with no bike to ride provided crazy drama.

Seeing a Canadian run top 5 was the highlight of the day for me.

Maybe not the biggest story, but surely a highlight for all that were pulling for him to do well.

Biggest story was Dungey's finish after the fiasco/late start. Cool
Second was Reed's DNF Sad

It was cool to see Barcia win that second moto though. Cool

I see it as TEAM Suzuki's brightest moment.

Like Apollo 13, somethings may have gone wrong but ......Failure was not an option.

Congrats to everyone at Team Suzuki that was involved.

If Dungey loses the championship by less than 5 points I can reasonably consider that day to be a huge failure. It's like if Apollo 13 burned up upon reentry; while they did accomplish a lot when the outlook was grim it's still a failure.

The clip of Dungey in tears after the gate dropped was heart breaking. The ride he put after getting back out there was phenomenal.

it was mentioned Team Suzuki had the biggest disappointment? Team Honda, every bike they put out there, died in the first moto, and 50% did the second. When was the last time you saw a factory honda break in a moto let alone 3 out of 4?
