Phoenix - The Justin Barcia Show


So with Phoenix in the books, I'm here to wade in with my take on the nights events. I know you didn't ask for it but I'm giving it to you anyway, so pipe the fuck down. 

250 SX

  • Tomac is once again the man! In both the heat and main he comes from inside the top 10 to take over the lead and put on a school for every one else. All boss like. 
  • New boy, Joey Savatgy, shows the crowd his balls and takes it Tomac in the heat until the To-minator (oh yeah, you can have that one for free) punts young Joe off the track and into second. Savatgy then goes on to grab a 9th in the main. Expect more from this kid in the next few weeks.
  • Blake Bagget sits Phoenix out with a broken wrist. Mitch thinks he's a pussy.
  • In the 2nd heat, Davalos has a crash so scary that chuck norris would have liquid adrenaline running down his leg. He still gets up and posts podium ride in the main. Solidude!
  • Ralph, Ricky and Jeff seem to have trouble distinguishing which TLD rider is which. Way to earn those big fat TV paychecks guys. But then hey even the AMA had trouble the week before when they gave Nelsons holeshot award to Seely.
  • Jason Anderson fails to make the main and therefore loses his 4th spot in the championship. That's a fail bro.
  • Jake Canada forgets to put his eject system into his helmet and just gets it on as the gate drops. He gets black flagged for not doing his chin strap up. That's an epic fail.
  • Ken Roczen is second to Tomac once again. All Ken needs is the start an I think he'll be all set. He needs to get it done to stop Eli having a perfect season.


450 SX

  • Justin Barcia is not scared. Not scared one bit! The kid goes out, wins his heat, then holeshots the main and checks out for the win. In a field containing Villopoto, Stewart, Dungey, Reed, and Canard I suppose that's ok. Then just to put point to it, he's so chilled in his interviews. You just one a fuckin' 450 supercross brah! Get fuckin' pumped for the sluts!
  • Villopoto has a better night than the opener, still goes down in the main, but pulls faster lap times than particles in the large hadron collider to pull back to 2nd.
  • Dungey has a nightmare. Crashes into a camera in his heat, gets beat by Ronnie Mac in his heat (killer air wheelie  bro)  and then goes down in the first turn of the main and can only manage 8th. The only person more pissed than ryan is Carmichael who pretty much has a hissy fit in the booth.
  • Canard has lock on the red plate (he's already got the red hair) until he does his best RV impression and goes down handing the points lead and 3rd to Millsaps who has another stella ride.
  • Mike Alessi notches up his second 20th place finish in as many races. Tony is Pissed!
  • Josh Hanson was benched by his team for Phoenix for either his on track actions last week or for his god awful number font he was sporting in Anaheim.
  • Stewarts bad knee is confirmed, still doesn't stop him winning his heat. Only a 7th in the main. Meaning his gear new 7 gear is a lot better looking than his title chances.
So there it is, make sure you chew it before you spit it out!
