Justin Barcia, Justin Bogle Penalized in San Diego

The AMA has dished out a pair of penalties to Justin Barcia and Justin Bogle following a pair of incidents last night in the 450 main event in San Diego.

The AMA docked Barcia one position pushing him from eighth to ninth and they disqualified Bogle. 

The second indecent was caught by the TV cameras and came late in the race when Barcia was trying to pass Bogle, who was a lap down. They came together with Barcia going off the track and down.

You can see it around the 2 minute 4 second mark below:

According to Racer X’s Kellen Brauer there was another incident earlier in the race that was not caught.

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
