He did some 450's last year i think and did OK. Seems he has more speed and experience this year. If he can get in the top 10 in this crowd I would think that a success.
He seems very likeable and the power of the big bikes should be a plus. I thought he was going to be a fixture in the 450 class after watching him in outdoor last year.
His best finishes in the outdoors last year were 4th and 7th (Budds Creek and Redbud). The rest of the time he was just outside the top ten (11th at Thunder Valley). I agree, if he can get inside the top ten w/this [insanely talented] crowd it will be a success.
Malcolm is awesome! Really has fun at it. And Honda's or not, he's not taking any crap from Barcia! View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpSD9KmJyQc
That is one big kid on the two fifty, I always look to see ware he is at just because of his brother.
That's really cool ... This guy looked pretty good on the 450 in the outdoors ... He said while sitting in the gate with the other 19 riders, he was worried about racing his brother, like all the others would be in their way or something ... Racing Daytona on his first race? ... Good luck! -- The last pic I saw of him, he looked like a big over-grown teenager-kid ... He's looking all grown-up now and with those glasses, he looking more like a doctor or something .... Time waits for no man ... -- Look at the 250 schedule ... No wonder a 250 rider can't drop into the 450 class on the 1st yr and expect to do much more than have a fighting chance to hang with the guys who have already raced a full 450 season ...
yes, unexpectedly for about 4 feet. Nope, him and Alessi need a time out. Nice run Malcom, to bad we didn't get to see the whole thing.
Agreed, I like Barcia but lately he is grinding my gears. I love his aggressive style but lately it isn't working for anyone. He needs to realize that his willingness to run it in on anyone is costing him and others points.
Garcia & Mookie went at it again tonite. Mookie was hauling butt on that 4fiddy. I was at other end of track, had to see it on the big screen. Bam Bam ain't gonna have too many friends if he keeps this shit up.
In my opinion that was Barcia going above and beyond to be a jerk. He had the pass made but had to give that little extra to let Malcom know he is the man. Typical Barcia move, he is a putz. Later,
I'm sure some will call that racing and maybe it is, but if you watch the entire race, several times riders were in almost the exact position as Stew34 and JB51 and every time the inside rider squared that corner and did not touch the guy on the outside ... These riders can put their bike where they want to put it ... I think he went up there also looking for trouble and he found it. Stew34 is not as fast as JB51 at this point in time and not even in the points chase in the 450s ... Why risk crashing yourself tangling with him? -- Also, sx is cool to watch and such but its really just a placeholder for me till the outdoors start ... Best to start out there with all the riders and no one hurt ...
Looked to me like Barcia was repaying Stewart for the outdoors incident. Probably not the smartest move - #1 Barcia is in a points race, Stewart isn't #2 Stewart is a pretty big guy (have to admit I kinda liked the shove and the wheelie)
