DPR, Barcia has you fooled. If you actually look at the numbers instead of trusting your eyes and ears, you'll see Barcia does not have more speed than any of the other top 4 guys who are all a step ahead of the rest right now. Barcia's style looks fast, and he makes a lot of noise (which a lot of people misinterpret as being fast), but his history outdoors is pretty bad for a "top" factory rider. One overall win in three full years plus two rounds, not so good.
