That was definitely one of the dirtiest take outs I've ever seen. Barcia should have been black flagged and hit with a bigger penalty than 10 points. He could have easily broken Malcolm's leg. The AMA needs to make an example out of Barcia. There is a difference between clean racing and all out contact racing just for personal gains. Completely take him out of the 2023 season. I personally don't want to see someone on the track that is capable of using his bike as a weapon. Barcia is bad for the sport. What kind of image is this setting for younger riders and the AMA?

[@kings17court]

Malcolm's leg is what I was hung up on. That came SOO close the breaking Malcolm's leg, it's not even funny. And I am by NO MEANS exaggerating. And then the way he shamelessly says that Malcolm would have done the same thing ... after Malcolm passed him as clean as can be.

Well said that’s exactly what I was thinking. The penalty was weak. I think they need to make an example out of him. A few inches back and Malcom would have been out of the race with a broken leg. He should have already been on probation from previous races. The AMA needs to revise its policies. I raced when I was younger and would never do something like that on purpose to another rider. If he can’t race clean then they need to ban him.

[@hotroddude6551]

That was not only a take out "Barcia style" but they should have Black flagged him immediately. That could have easily been a career ending hit on Malcolm. Luckily it wasn't. If MX would have been .02 sec earlier, it would have been a head on collision.

[@douglassloan6831]

Great reporting as always! In terms of the incident, what really jumped out to me is that what was already a bad result for Malcolm Stewart could have been a horrific result instead. An inch or two difference in where Barcia hit Stewart could have literally resulted in a career ending injury for the 27. Had Barcia contacted Malcolm's leg at that velocity and if it were above the boot line, Malcolm's knee could have been destroyed. That's a year off of the bike at the very least, if not end of story permanently. It's one thing to block pass someone in a corner to gain a position. But to use a 220lb motorcycle as a guided missile and aim it at your competitors borders on insanity. NASCAR has had issues with Kyle Busch for years that are similar. The one difference is that when insulated in these now very safe race cars, a tap on the bumper to show ones disapproval is not even in the same league as what Barcia has been doing all season. Any of those collisions, Bogle, Anderson, Stewart could have ruined a race season for the competitor, their team, the guys that work at the shop, the track, etc. It's time for Justin Barcia to really be punished. Dock him points for next season at least. Let him start with -25 points or whatever to insure that he has no shot at the title and his sponsors and team have to think about whether or not the guy is worth the effort. And if he takes one step outside the lines, pull his license. Riders have been suspended for much less than this (Brock Tickle, JS7) and in Tickle's case, it ended his racing career. It's time to start acting like a sanctioning body and start handing out penalties that actually do what they are intended to do. Barcia doesn't give a crap about 10 points or 5K. In fact it just adds to his storyline as the villain of the sport, which he seems to embrace. Sorry to ramble on, but this one really just pissed me off.

[@marvelaturraz5405]

Exactly. A shitty take-out like you describe actually happened to me at my first night race when I was 11 years old. A guy named Tony Flores was lapping me (He was an 80cc expert, and I was a novice), I was trying to get out of his way because I knew he was coming, and he T-Boned me right in my knee. It wrecked my knee. It's been wrecked ever since. I always have to be really careful with it, as the joint is prone to slipping out of place. And the pain from this particular injury is incredible. I had never felt that intense agony to that degree, no matter the injury, nor have I felt that much pain ever since then.

[@richiebell1577]

The sport and competitors are safer without him.

[@Marine450x]

The appropriate penalty for this sort of "blatant" takeout, by a rider already on probation for similar incidents, is a DQ from this race; including loss of points, podium, trophy, record book, etc.. Plus go into next season on continued probation with DQ & race ban on the table. That will get his attention AND his team & sponsors!

[@mortkb]

I know they tend to gloss this over and say "rubbin is racing" but this was definitely a case of a top 5'ish rider desperate for a better position and has no moral compass. That is not rubbin, that was a flat out attack on another rider. Mookie passed him clean as hell which shows that if you are a good rider and have skills, you can actually setup a pass and make it happen without endangering the well being of the other rider. That type of move that he has done multiple times now could have easily led to one of his targets getting a serious injury or mechanical problem that left them out of the race and/or season. Those kind of "passes" which definitively have the purpose of taking another rider down need to be enforced much more significantly which should reduce the chance they keep happening. Black flag them, take away all the points for that race and fine them.

Agreed. Black flag for first offense and suspend if repeated. This is dangerous to other competitors (potentially season and/or career ending). Straight up “bush league” by Barcia. AMA needs to send a clear message that this will not be tolerated.

[@87motoring]

100% there needs to be legitimate penalties to stop this from happening. I don't understand how people see this and say rubbing is racing. It literally ruins the racing. Riding aggressive, taking people high and block passing can all be done cleanly . It says a lot that anyone who passed Barcia has to look over their shoulder even when they have a few bike lengths on him coming into a corner.

I enjoy watching Supercross for the elbows out racing. Over regulation can make the sport stale and dull, but…there needs to be a line. Mookie isn’t a saint, but he’s not the one in the wrong here. That should have been a DQ for Barcia.

[@mulepacker77]

Barcia totally had his elbow out in anticipation of the hit. Dirty, but that's Bam Bam.

[@tmaxx51]

Agreed. Regulations aren't the answer. Didn't know so many riders loved to be regulated so hard just going off these comments. Barcia admits that it's how he is and these riders should always expect the worst from him. Not saying I like him taking people out.

[@m3hsid10]

Barcia obviously can't win and he knows it. When you're getting beaten and then play dirty it reveals your lack of confidence. He has very little value for himself and that manifests itself as very little value for others. These types of pathetic moves should result in immediate removal from the Heat, LCQ or Main. If it happens in the LCQ or the main event then you just eliminated yourself from the race completely.

[@Ednerd]

yeah. if the guy is obviously faster. let him go.

[@1971carmichael]

i think barcia hit his peak years back thats frustration riding..omg how i miss carmichael racing.

I agree with this. I like Barcia but that was dirty. Stewart was ripping too !!

[@MoreMoto262]

DQ’d is the only penalty he should’ve gotten, what good is probation doing.

[@jameson4844]

POV. You don’t have a spine

[@joracer1]

-50 ama points this year $100,000 fine, and - 50 points next year. That would stop it. Paraphrasing Barcia said here he was dirty as he'll and if you don't like so what. He said he wanted to win at all cost including putting another rider in the hospital or morgue even. So there you have it.

[@psyched91]

That was one hell of a sexy overtake by Stewart btw. Oh and yes, Barcia bad. Boo Barcia.

[@tikkashane513]

Like Cianciarulo said, anybody can do that at any time. It's easy to do but All the other riders seem to grasp the fact that it is completely weak and irresponsible. I like barcia but I think we're all just sick of his retaliations for being slower than someone. He says he's out there racing for a living, well so is everybody else but they have to worry about a psycho headhunter that can't handle getting passed by a faster rider. I don't agree with how the AMA handled this and if they are just following the way the rules are written something has to change because this guy is out of control and dangerous. Barcia needs a team to put him in check if AMA won't. Hard to remain a Barcia fan after this season. If I were Red Bull Gas Gas I would be embarrassed.

@@davidryder5082 not saying he needs a long term deal, but a race win and top 4 in points counts for at least another year.

There is usually only about 5 race winners a year. I don't get why you would get rid of one if you had him. Pless is young, but always injured and unproven, Coop isn't even racing outdoors. They are bringing back Dungey and Coiroli from the dead for outdoors... this team is hurting for riders.

I personally hate Barcia's riding style. As an enthusiast, I'd rather see them swap spots fair and square back and forth the entire race, rather than watching timeouts. I dont see why any of the manufacturers continue to sign him. I see it as bad publicity. Especially when the entire crowd is booing you.

[@rossreeder5865]

I like Barcia's aggressive riding style and all out attitude but he crosses the line way to often. With a sport where injury is rampant there should be no room for this type of racing. The only one who I see cares less is Vince Friese. Maybe they need to do like F1 and setup a stewardship and dock racers so many seconds in a pit row before they can reenter the race. I don't know exactly how to solve this problem but what their doing now isn't working and I for one don't want to see anyone hurt because of reckless and overly aggressive passing.
