At what race last year was Barcia the fastest rider!?!?!?!
He's gotta go through Weimer, Pourcel, Stroupe and Canard first to get anywhere near that title...
He is flashy sure, but I didn't see any absolute speed like when James was ripping around on the tiddlers...
The Shop
He was faster then Wiemer at most tracks ,on pace with Canard ,just off the pace of CP and beat AS just about every moto they raced together.
Oh did I mention ?--- It was just his rookie year. --- No sx --- Jumped right into a full national series and led like 50 of the first 60 laps of his career.
No your right. Nothing special there,
He led some at Glen helen after holeshotting... which he should be able to do... At Hangtown in the first moto after setting the fastest lap he crashed and axed Stroupe...At which point Stroupes season was done, so of course he beat him...
He axed himself at Freestone first moto... Wasn't even in the top 20 in the 2nd moto
Canard was on pace with CP and RD at High Point then crashed out, Canard was in 3rd 2nd moto and got dropped... somewhere just inside the top 10 1st Moto and 5th in the 2nd
He got owned at his home race at the Dilla...
And his one good consistent and fast race of the year he went 1-3 on a completely un-typical southwick where loads of riders had inconsistent results...
Like I said, he's gotta go through last years Fastest rider, a guy who won 1/4th of the nationals and who is running away with the SX West, Trey - proven champ with the speed to run with anyone and Stroupe who under RD needs and will have his best season...
Good luck, he's gonna need it...
but Barcia has Bagget covered outdoors
Pit Row
But... People are saying how amazing he is... Yeah he throws the bike around, but I haven't seen absolute speed like we did with James or RC coming through...
If he does it, great, i'm a fan anyways... Just think people saying he is gonna kill some more proven riders is a bit much just now... especially on last years performances...
It isn't like CP, AS, JW or the rest of the pack has gotten slower!!!
as far as Roczen , ill give some credit for racing LL b class at 14, winning a mxgp at 15,youngest ever? but hes racing mxgp.
and Herlings other than a european mini mx champ? dunno and same thing hes racing mxgp so we wont find out till mxdn .
