Video: Bogle v Barcia – Bogle disqualified!
Justin Barcia was docked one position with Justin Bogle disqualified after things got heated between the Red Bull Gas Gas points leader and the HEP Suzuki rider in the main event at San Diego.
The pair came together initially with Barcia the perpetrator then Bogle, a lap down as a consequence, retaliated with Barcia getting knocked off the track!
Barcia into Bogle was first… They were battling for 10th at the time… Bogle was a lap down later on when he got into Barcia

The official AMA results stated: “(51) – Penalized 1 position, (19) – Disqualified.”
Barcia is now down to fourth in the series after all the drama as a consequence of a rare bad start for the aggressive rider, but he is still right there with no real harm done, only three points off new leader, Eli Tomac.
Barcia said: “San Diego is a wrap and honestly, for a bad day, it was a good day. I got an average start in the main but I was riding good and then I ended up having a crash. I had to re-group and put a charge all the way back up to eighth. Ninth definitely wasn’t where I wanted to finish but I salvaged it. I felt like I rode really well, just came up a bit short of where I wanted to be. All-in-all, I’m looking forward to getting back to Anaheim, a place that treats me well, and I’m ready to get back on the podium!”
Bogle said after on Swapmoto YouTube 10 min 36 sec in: “Tonight was rough. I just got cleaned out four laps in, my night was kinda over from there, what are you going to do? Some people don’t have brains, not everyone has a full brain, I don’t think, and that’s fine.”
