Well I hate to tell you I told you so, but I will. As I predicted Barcia won a moto and had it not been for the bike quitting he would have won the overall. The kid was on fire and I think all the 450 boys need to take notice. I will also keep pounding the drum that this should also be a good wake up call for the factories to move these kids up to make the top level racing more balanced. Think about what the class would look like next year if Wilson, Barcia, and Roczen were to just move up. I think all are capable of winning races and are probably just as good on a Supercross track. Also I wonder if anyone has thought about sending Barcia to Des Nations over Baggett due to the event being a sand race. I think it is clear that Barcia is the best sand guy we have and it looks like we will need it.

Wow what a great weekend of racing. Both the 250's and 450's saw the championship leaders get one step closer to 2011 championships. Some notes of quick interest from this weekend were the rides of Justin Barcia and Justin Bogel. Barcia was in it to the last lap on the second moto before his brain was abducted from Travis Pastrana. On one of the faster and bigger jumps, Barcia slightly jumped all the way across one side of the track to another and right into Dungey's line. If you haven't seen the video just go to Youtube and you will be on it quick. Bogel rode to a very solid 5th overall despite yours truly predicting a podium, but I am an over achiever, much like those I feel have promise.

If you read my blog regularly then welcome back. If you are like me you are still buzzing from a huge weekend of racing around the world. This weekend had the penultament round of the Outdoors in Southwick where for a better lack of words the world literally blew up for Christophe Pourcel. Chad Reed having already clinched his first outdoor championship took a huge soil sample in the second moto and finished his weekend riding at the Indy MotoGP race. Last but not least we had the penultament round of the FIM championship where Antonio Cairoli wrapped up another championship and looks primed to follow in the shoes of Stefan Everts. And yes I will even talk a little about MotoGP as well.
