For a moment tonight, we got to see the “expect the unexpected” and “anything can happen in racing” mantras come to life. In Houston, Texas’ round of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship, GEICO Honda’s Justin Barcia looked to have the Lites race sewn up with a big lead on the last lap. But Barcia tangled with lapped rider Lance Vincent while going around him, and both riders hit the ground. Red Bull KTM’s Ken Roczen inherited the lead for his first win of the season, while Barcia recovered for second ahead of Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Blake Baggett.
With that kind of potential drama, maybe there was a chance of something unexpected in the SX Class. And with a championship potentially hanging in the balance, such drama could make for big headlines. But Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto said to that, “Not a chance.” He battled down the start straight and got past JGR Toyota/Yamaha’s Davi Millsaps for the lead in the first few corners. From there, he slowly moved out from Millsaps to get to his eighth win of the season.
Meanwhile, Villopoto’s championship also became secure when James Stewart got a terrible start, then crashed out when he overjumped a tabletop in a rhythm section and went over the bars. It was a hard crash, and Stewart retired from the race after that. From there, Villopoto only had to hold off Millsaps to win the title, and he did. Villopoto dropped his bike after the finish of the race and pumped his fists. He becomes just the fifth rider to ever win back-to-back AMA SX Titles, wrapping it up an incredible four races in advance.

Millsaps and Villopoto’s teammate Jake Weimer rounded out the podium. Millsaps rode strong to earn his third podium in four races, and takes over third in the series from his teammate Stewart, and moves within a single point of the injured Ryan Dungey for second. Weimer was happy to rebound after a bunch of tough races, including missing a main event two weeks ago at Indy, and missing a podium last weekend in Toronto when he got jacked up by a lapper and then later made a mistake and sailed off the track. This time Weimer rode steady, holding the third spot for most of the race.
MotoConcept's Mike Alessi rode well, also, getting fourth, with fifth going to Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Brayton. Brayton's recent run of podium finishes ended due to a mediocre start, and by the main event the track had become pretty tough to pass on. There was little action in either the Lites or SX mains.
But earlier in the show, the crowd was excited as it looked like fan favorite Kevin Windham might have been able to make a run for the win, as he posted the fastest times in both practice sessions. Windham then had a fantastic battle with Stewart for the win in the second heat. On the last lap, while running second, Windham scrubbed to hard over a triple and landed short, launching him over the bars. He was out of racing for the night. Team reports say he hurt his thumb and shoulder, but x-rays came back negative. Windham flew back home and will visit his doctors this week to determine his status.
Outside of the top five, Bobby Kiniry logged a superb performance to take sixth, with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Broc Tickle seventh. Nico Izzi, Weston Peick and Josh Grant rounded out the top ten.
The Lites race began with Barcia's typical holeshot, but Roczen started right behind and gave him an early challenge, passing for the top spot on the first lap. Barcia quickly responded to get the lead back. Much of the Lites race was determined by a tough rhythm section, where riders could go triple-triple-on to a tabletop, but only if their timing was perfect (this was the same section that claimed Stewart). Barcia handled it the most consistently and was able to move out, while Roczen came under fire from the rejuvenated Blake Baggett. Baggett looked inspired and went after Roczen, but couldn't find a way around. The late in the race Baggett made a few mistakes and couldn't jump the rhythm lane, allowing Roczen to get the lead. It looked like the German was set to get second until Barcia tangled with Vincent on the last lap, and Roczen cruised past for his first win of the season.

Barcia got back up for second, but then the emotions of losing the race in such a bizarre fashion got to him. He rode back around to Vincent, who was laying on the track still, and roosted him. He also even roosted Roczen! On the podium, Barcia appeared overcome with emotion as well.
But the night was better for any of the Lites podium dwellers than some other favorites, such as Darryn Durham, Justin Bogle and Malcolm Stewart, who were all part of a big first-turn pileup. The east riders race in two weeks at New Orleans then wrap up their championship in May at the Las Vegas finals.
Villopoto won't have to wait until then to celebrate. He is rapidly building his place in the history of the sport, racking up race wins and titles at a rate few in the sport have produced. In motorsports, anything can happen, but right now it seems like the only thing that does happen is Villopoto piling up more wins and titles.

I don't care how much "emotion" there is going on during or after the race, Barcia doesn't have to act like a F'n dick! This isn't the first time he acts like a cry baby. Reading the tweets during the race it appears it wasn't even completely Vincen't fault. What a dick!
Let's see how you would act if you get taken out by a lapper on the last lap on your way to a win? Stop being such a critic. Barcia deserved that win and it was ripped out of his hands.
have to wait and see later today but according to the twitter feed it wasn't vincents's fault.
Dungey is still in second!
who would have thought Millsaps would be JGR's hihgest placed rider?
Fault...? No lapper has the intention of taking out the race leader..of course its not his fault..I haven't seen it yet.. but, I will say Barcia had a huge lead on the last lap. He should of just waited and been more patient. I bet he was more mad at himself this morning then at Vincent last night...
.As for roosting Roczen , that is a little whack to me. No one in the stands thinks the Roc is capable of beating Barcia anymore that argument is tired and dead. A win is a win though. No matter how you get it you won. Barcia should of been mad about throwing it away but not roost the winner. I know how compettitive he is and he is the best lites rider, but take a lesson from Dungey Reed and Canard on how to speak and handle a "bad night". Those heros are out for the season and still smile and handle it like a champion. You still got 2nd place and pretty much locked up this title and still were making a scene.
Between Bogle and Barcia, The team has some drama queens. Take the unexpected loss and deal with it off the track. There's no need for him to make a statement to the fans by roosting Vincent.
The east lites class is full of d*ckheads this year. roczen roosting durrham, barcia roosting roczen, barcia crying like a schoolgirl.
These are incredibly talented riders but in the same way they are f*cked up personalities. Somebody should tell them that they are professionals and that their money is paid by kids who want the same stuff as their idols.
It´s even more pathetic that the "journalists" kiss the asses of these spoiled *ssholes.
I'm surprised Larocco and Stanton put up with that shit.
Let's just say if Bam Bam is ever going to win any SX titles e will need to get the emotional side f his program under control. Then! he still has to deal with RD and RV and the others that graduate to the bigs.
Stewart just can't catch a break. The dude crashes too often. However, I am glad to see Davi Millsaps on the podium.
Roczen was in the right place at the right time. Good for him. As for the extracurricular woohaa, if nothing else it makes things interesting. Sure these guys are professional riders but the lites class riders are mostly kids. They celebrate their victories with sparkling grape juice and kool-aid.
How many times have we seen Stewart win his heat race and then blow it the main. (This year and last.)
Barcia is nothing but a punk with no respect for the other riders. I was laughing my head off watching him act like a child last night in houston. As for Stewart he might as well hang it up before ke kills himself or someone else. He is just a tv star now his focus isn't there
Barcia has every right to be emotional... But that was a little overboard. Ryan sipes was parked in a berm at dallas a couples years ago and passed by bagget after leading the entire race and going for his first win. Words were exchanged and he moved on. True professional.
As for stewie... Needs to hang it up before he hurts hisself bad enough that he wont get his nascar deal in a few years.
I will only take one yard sale by JS in the outdoors and he will we lose everything.
His time is past, he needs to know when to hang it up...and it is now.
RV baby!!!
OK, No disrespect to Millsaps but Ralph says he really turned it around in the 2nd half of the season...WTF? How about ALL the top riders except Villopotato have nearly killed themselves and are out? He's a 7th place rider period. As far as Stewart...I would take all that YAMAHA CRAP to JGR leave it there, and start his own team with any bike that is not blue or orange. He's is lucky he can still walk after this season!
awww Barcia acted a fool cause he was PIS*ed and he hurt all the white bread only eating emotionless Mcgrath pajamas wearing tv computer jockeys feelings.waaaa waaa....I loved it. If I was Larocco or Stanton (who both can dish it and take it) I'd be GLAD to have somebody riding for me that wants it that bad. He did'nt run over anyone and he did'nt take a large tool into the pits (which once would have been the proper way to fix it). Why not get mad, it cost him a win (thats the reason he lines up not to satisfy some fans kids idea of who he should be and how he should act...hes not their dad.) Being a kid himself ,he lost it ...big deal. Havoc as a former fan....hows that Suzuki lookin now? Handlebardragger if you were "out there"(no ones stopping you) Havoc would punt you so hard when he came by to lap you for the tenth time your tongue would shoot out like a frog...to take him out 'with no hesitation' is the funniest/moronic comment in weeks..."The new sheriff puts his smokin'shotguns down ,puts his feet up and takes a nap dreaming of that big outdoor rodeo soon to come........any foreigners lol claiming to be faster....high noon at Hangtown ...
Mega huge props to RV1!! he is a fast, smooth, great rider. He showed why he has the #1 plate! Barcia needs his butt kicked! Show a little class!! Bam-Bam got Bam Bammed!!! Still a podium, still a points leader, Really??? GROW-UP!!! I love seeing clowns like him lose, Its entertaining!! I really like his aggression until i saw this!! (watching now, by "saw" i mean read!).
Are we really blaming bubba's latest episode on the bike too???? Somehow the Yamaha made him over jump the tabletop? Even though I'm fairly confident he won't race the Nationals, if he does he's gonna destroy himself at outdoor speeds!
Hahahaha!!!! I've been trying to tell ya'll that Barcia nutduster is a total moron.He may be having a bit of roid-rage.I think they need to drug test this guy.
The only riders that I think could actually make it in cars are the ones who are the absolute smoothest, not the grip it and rip it group.
K-Dub and CR are the top two I pick for cars, outside of TP who seems to be gifted in all thing mechanical.
JGR backed the wrong horse.
#RV1 #RV2INAROW #CHAMPION #DOMINATION
GO RV !!!!!!!!!!
And LOL at all the stewtards blaming the bike again, if you idiots knew what you were talking about you would know that crash was all his fault for over jumping the table.
No trouble for Davi taking 2nd place on that Yamaha was there? hahahahahah
And yet another good night of racing even w/o lotsa big guns. Seems to me like the fact that there are more "openings" for lack of a better word, at the top of the box, there is more effort from everyone to get there. Not that they weren't trying before, but this has to be a good situation for some of the riders. I should say other deserving riders.
congrats to RV for gettin the SX title. it,s unfortunate the other top contenders weren,t still in there to make it a better fight . C,mon barcia. we all know ur sorry for ur actions. that doesn,t make up for the fact that u roosted vincent while he was down with the medic sittin right there. we all know emotions run high at the level ur at but c,mon show a lil tact and handle it with him at a better time. can u say damage control.
Vincent for President,, Barcia is a cry baby once again,,, but he is fast as hell
HandlebarDragger cant coast hom titles for the keyboard bro,,, get over you self and go pin it in the vet C
Vincent rides a KTM keep that in mind. I want to see what Lance Vincent's Mechanic wrote on the pit board. Maybe something like " Rokzen in 2nd" He clearly jumped across his line into Barcia. JB has every right to be pis$ed off. I think his emotions did get in the way but with credit to him he did apologize on national tv. BAM BAM ALL DAY!
I hate that Windham screwed up.I think when this series is over he could of ended up in second place for the year.
Barcia is a wrecking ball, and has been since he came on the scene. That crash with Vincent was completely his fault. He passed Vincent on the outside, knowing Vincent was on his inside, and then jumps right into his line, leaving Vincent nowhere to go. He then proceeds to have a complete emotional breakdown, showing what a narcissistic little punk he really is. There is no doubt that Barcia is an extremely talented racer, but he is the dirtiest rider this sport has seen in a long time, possibly ever, and I've been a racer/fan for over 40 years. Barcia actually should get used to being drop kicked off the track, because when he moves up to the 450's for good, the big boys won't put up with his B.S. passing antics for at all.
Barcia is a great rider no boubt,but he needs to stop acting like a little b!tch when things dont go his way! did you guys see Bagget and Roczen after the race,they were laughing at barcia. I dont think Barcia has many friends in racing...
On TV, Barcia yelling at a downed guy getting medical attention (helmet off), the doctor shielding the rider from Barcia and waving him off, Barcia unrelenting, looming over the both of them, disregarding the physician's plea, and then roosting the doctor and patient..... that was a very, very, ugly human moment. Is that sort of unbridled narcissism going to go unchecked? Just plain repulsive to watch. I had hoped they would show it. Now I cant believe they did. Ugly.
Not that it matters, because the above stands on it's own..... but does it ever occur to Barcia that twice on the 1st lap Roczen could have "BamBam-d" Barcia into the cheap seats and did not? Hell; Emig noticed and commented on it at the time. If the roles were reversed... oh lets just save the ASCII characters. Point is, by Bam-Bam rules, Barcia is lucky to not have been parked upside down under a camera cart on Lap One.
Prediction: KR is 17, has only raced a total of
Stewart , coming back once again from injury too early and crashing once again this year for like the 12 th time in a race, every time before the race starts I know he is going down lol he should call himself ''THE FASTEST CRASHING MAN ON THE PLANET'' thats more fitting!! ... he should have waited for the outdoors since he was never in the hunt all year for the sx championship and at least do well in mx...
To say the crash was Barcia's fault is to show that you have NO IDEA what you're talking about. How in the world is a LAPPER hitting him from behind HIS fault? Give me a break. He's still a kid, he was robbed, and he was pissed. I get that. I'm one of the ones who was saying he used poor judgment at Unadilla last year battling with Dungey, and many out here said, "Oh no. He has every right to battle with Dungey." That much is true, but to risk the health and safety of both of them was not ok. However, this was a different circumstance. And as it was said earlier, at least he apologized on TV.
Congrats to RV; he's definitely the guy to beat right now.
Lastly, K-Dub's crash was a HUGE bummer. GET WELL SOON, KEVIN!
Team tactics. Vincent had room on the inside, but instead went at Barcia. Lot of hate here for Barcia, but look at the video again. You're getting lapped, get the hell out of the way.
Oh, and one more thing: It must be AWESOME to be as perfect as some of you guys out here are, that you can criticize people who've accomplished more - sometimes before reaching the age of 20(25 at the latest) - than you'll EVER accomplish. I'm sure you were ALL perfect gentlemen at the ripe old age of 19. LMFAO!!!
Barcia jumped from the outside to the inside, cross lining in mid air, knowing Vincent was inside of him, thats why I say it was his fault. Vincent didn't take Barcia out, Barcia took them both out. I don't know if you race or not [ sef154], but if you did, you would know how dangerous it is to have a rider cross lines in mid air in front of you.
As much as I can not stand Tony Alessi I guess he got it correct when Josh Grant took out Mike Alessi during the out doors. The Universe has paid him back. Josh Grant goes from one of the best and dirtiest riders to mid packer.
I can't stand Barcia, but that was in no way in any fashion his fault and it WAS completely Vincent's fault. Vincent was trying to race him until Barcia got by and then he was continuing to try to race him after he was lapped. Anyone who sees it any other way is just allowing their bias to cloud their vision. The leader should not have to worry about a lapper getting into him from behind. I also have no problem with him giving Vincent what for. If you think Stanton or Larocco would have just shrugged their shoulders after getting taken down by a lapper from behind while leading......well.....think again. I thought I knew what 'Babyarm' referred to on Vincent's pants. Now I wonder if it refers to how he acts on the track?
It was nice of Stewart to sweep Regal's front wheel right out from under him though. I guess Karma bit him hard a short while later.
Anyone that thinks it was Barcia's fault needs to get a DVR and watch it in slow motion. Barcia clearly passed him coming out of a corner before they even hit the jump then he came to the left and hit Barcia from behind, this all after being lapped. I am certainly not a Barcia fan but he should have put knobbies into Vincent instead of dirt.
"I was more shocked by Bogel NOT slapping Mookie and throwing up his hands...whats up with that"....signed , Disappointed.
First off I gotta admit I'm not a big fan of Barcia.....he really needs to grow up! You don't need to be a punk and a bully to have success....see: RV1 for an example!
as a previous post suggests.....Roczen should have parked him when he had the chance.
Furthermore there seems to be a growing group of fans that somehow think Barcia's gonna move up to the big bikes and dominate? In my opinion the east is the weaker series. His main competition on a weekly basis is a 17 yr old German who has raced all of 8 or 9 SX's and had about a week to prepare for the series coming off of an injury!
Before I jump on the Bam Bam wagon I'm gonna wait and see how he does with Wilson and Tomac. We saw last year that Wilson won't hesitate to bang bars with him ( almost goes out of his way to do it ) and in my opinion Tomac was the fastest 250 rider going before his crash!
Great job RV, taking to everyone this year..
And the Barcia haters are out, and they are goofy as all. I dont kn ow how some idiots think it is Barcias fault when a lapper hits the leader in the back.. Some guys just dont like him and are trying to sell that to everyone.. If you have a brain, you will know better..
@Ripdown, we saw last year what Barcia did to Wilson, why do you think Wilson ran the West Coast this year, he knows Barcia would have waxed him in supercross. Just like he did last year..
hey mofo......I wasn't making a commentary on whether Wilson was faster in SX....just that Wilson will punt him any chance he gets.....which in my opinion is exactly what Barcia needs at this point. A little attitude adjustment!
By the way.......how did Wam Bam do at waxing Wilson in the Nationals?
if BamBam is so innocent, why was he fined $5000.00? he is a poor sport, good for vincent
Barcia is a very talented young man and yet handles things like a little girl. When is he going to figure out shit happens. He is lucky all he got was a fine and not suspended for the rest of the season. Maybe the team should send this little boy to anger management, so he can grow up to be the true professional he should be.
This guy making JLaw look like saint! lol
The Juggernaut strikes again !!!
Great job RV. Now he just focus on winning races and forget about the title.
Barcia - Yeah, emotions go to be under control.
lappers - they are always causing trouble.
Stewie - give it up, your time is over, before you hurt someone else.
RV - great season. You did what you had to and the others fell by the wayside.
Barcia was fined for what happened after the race. Don't understand why a lapper was racing with him for so long anyway, he wasn't fighting with anyone for position at the time, let the leader go by. Also Barcia admitted he was wrong and apologized in the post race interview. He should get props for that, takes a big person to admit they're wrong.
Barcia was fined for roosting Vincent and the Aterisk crew.....and Roczen(?!), which I did not realize. I have no problem with the verbal lashing of Vincent, but roosting everyone? Just stupid. So, I still think Barcia is a jerk with his drive-by roostings, and I still think he had every right to be pissed. In the end, it wasn't his fault (the crash) but I still can't stand him with plenty of evidence why. Hope a bunch of them take it to him outside.
Barcia definatlely should not of handled it the way he did. that being said, WTF was Vincent thinking? Was he trying to get his lap back? Tha AMA needs to fine racers who disregard the Blue flag. It happens every week with guys racing for a $50 difference in their payday. Black flag them if they interfering with the leaders. And as far as roosting goes, Roczen intentionaly roosted Duram after the heat race a few weeks back. The AMA is real incosistant in dealing with problems.
That was one of the dumbest lapper incidents I have ever seen. I dont believe yelling at him was a big deal. There would be a brawl in the pits! These guys worry about what pr gets out. Be honest, get real, show some emotion. Anyone who says they would'nt be fighting mad is a liar. Blue flag means move over!
Congrats RV!! Undisputed 2-time champ! He was leading and won the most races when everyone was healthy, and stayed healthy throughout the entire year, so there's no question he earned this one. Looking forward to RV keeping it rolling into outdoors.
Motocynic your'e wrong- watch it in slo mo. Barcia passes him in the turn before -very cleanly. Vincent follows him thru the rythym section, then on the down side of the second jump- he turns his front wheel towards Barcia and drives the bike right at him. He was already crashing because he came up way short on the last jump- he was already going down and he threw his bike into Barcia's rear end. Even Ray Charles can see it wasn't Barcia's fault. Watch it again in slo mo bro.
Did anybody notice what Emig said after the start of the 450 main?
"Brayton has been all over Villopoto this last couple of weeks"
Is this guy on drugs again?
Sorry, that was after the start of a heat race.
anyone remember a couple years ago Barcia kept stuffing Wilson so his teammate Pourcel intentionaly kept cutting off barcia & then when he won he told Erin when you mess with my teammates you mess with me. Refreshing to tell it like it is. Look back at Hannah he hated everyone on the track. Barcia will mature,he`s improved quite a bit from last year. That was as classless tho not as bad as what he did I think in Bercy this recen winter. Poto survives & Dungey is still in 2nd. STOP mentioning either stewi ,their not relavent. Malcom never has. Is it because he`s black he gets mentioned so often ? Has he ever made a podium ? ever ? ever ? JS7 how many times has he crashed this season ? remarkable isn`t it..I think so what around 15 times this season. What a wreckloose. Hope he gets refocused whatever that takes & races the ntnls. Without Reed & Trey we (fans) need him out there. KW ,that was fantastic,wey to give it your all. Hope your ,he is ok. He can get a 2nd maybe if Poto wrecks or a back of the pack start KW can win. Give it up to the `old man.`Poto`s an animal ....
anybody know where you can see the race again? you tube or re-run?
The lites class is going to be on Fuel TV today I believe. My coverage of CBS didn"t show the SX class race (March Maddness related).
Barcia needs to chill a little, but it wasn"t his fault at all. All of you who think different are BLIND. Watch it again if you need to but it was SOOO obvious what happened there. The aftermath of Roosting (especially the Medic) was un called for. Deal with it in the pits.
Best part of Houston was watching Justin 'Barge-in-on-ya' get a taste of his own medicine! I laughed and cheered my ass off. Hope they have a buttload of tissue back at the team trailer for that little cry-baby. Thugs like him have no place in this wonderful sport.
Q: What's the difference between a puppy and Barcia?
A: A puppy stops whining after 6 months.
