To be on the des nations team IMO. That last moto, last lap pass on Kenny tells me that was the only thing on his mind. He has the experience, he has the speed back again, and you know he is going to go full Bam Bam in that event. Have to see how this last 250 moto goes, but its gotta be ET, AP, and Barcia after today

Obvious team is obvious, but so many think otherwise. Barcia is one bad man, this guy wants it.

Barcia has earned that MX3 ride for sure. Good for him and can hardly wait to see Herlings and Tomac and MM25 battle.

When he's going full Barcia, it's pure outdoors beauty. God, that kid is fun to watch.

I’m so glad he is back! Saw him live on a 250 at a SX, he was incredible.

The leap to a 450 is really quite a big one. Everyone is surprised when it doesn’t work out for a top 250 guy, but should be more surprised when it does. Odds aren’t great. Sweet downhill scrub pass, and his pass on Roczen was something like Roczen would do. Some sweet racecraft.

I don’t want to see “full bam bam”. That’s childish and petulant. Give me this years version thank you

It’s so nice to see bam bam get his speed back again. It’s amazing how far it sets you back when you get injured. Takes a while to get back to who you were.

Hell yes. Kenny was riding damn good and Barcia got around him on the last lap just how he explained on the podium, he wanted it and wanted to prove he should be there for MXdN.

Barcia has earned my respect... Tougher than a 2 dollar steak.

Bracia is definitely hungry again and hes the locked in 3rd place guy this year. Where the hellll is Baggett? A bad mx season then going into sx which isnt his strong suit is not gonna be a good look. Howabout Bogle also going from first to last every time hes on the track lol. That caaaant be what he wanted and it sux to see cuz hes gonna be a free agent. He has to be pisssssed.

Barcia showed a lot of heart today, very impressive.

Plessinger was awesome too but if the team USA wants to put Barcia on AP’s bike and let Anderson go too, would be a great team

Only 4 more motos until Unadilla and the team announcement. Barcia should be making travel plans back to Red Bud!

Excellent ride and definitely deserves a spot. He does well in those events too so should be a no brainer.

Damn straight! Barcia baby! The kid wants to represent. His ride today was confirmation of what I wanted all along. Tomac, Barcia, Plessy. = solid!

Also of note, he's been a very good starter this year (today being an exception). So normally he's going to start up near the front and today proved that even if he doesn't he has the fight to get back up front before the moto is over. Showed a lot of heart and that's what MXoN is all about.

Starts are going to be very important in a weirdly stacked des Nations of some very fast guys and some guys that wouldn’t qualify for MXGP or AMA MX.

I’ve been saying Barcia for a while. He’s been good at every MXoN he’s ridden, and he has that chip on his shoulder that really helps him rise up against unknown competitors.

The guy I was not sold on was Plessinger. But after today I’m in. If he rides like that in October he’d be the best MX2 by a mile. Plus if it rains.....

It's really a no brainer if he stays healthy.

Just stop. He the fastest National rider by a mile. He's had a bad race. Had bike problems which gave him a bad gate pick and then a bad start. Not counting the dnf he's had one bad moto out of 14?

USA has so many riders to chose from compared to other countries its crazy and that's with a bunch of guys out with injuries. Tomac, Barcia and Plessinger will get it done.
