From an outside observer, I lost all respect of the guy as a professional. That word, Professional, he hasn't been one during this ordeal. There are so many talented racers who would do anything to be on that team, on that bike, that would do whatever it takes to make it work.
" christophe pourcel has learned like you, that he doesn't race anymore for....but without a training bike in Florida, it doesn't change much "
That's just ridiculous and stupid. It's not a hate CP and worship MCR. MCR may have given him a crappy bike. They may have done other things wrong, who knows. There may be real reason's CP doesn't want to race for them. What he got crucified for was failure to act like an adult and tell MCR that they suck and he was done. Basically, everything that happened after Freestone made CP look like an ass.
And this,
Personally I feel like I'm being kicked in nuts every weekends he's not racing,
Is solely on CP's shoulders. The bike was there, he wasn't.
Example, if he thinks the bike is dangerous because xxxx reasons, he will not feel comfy, and KYB tuned by Zeus wont change that. I understand why he doesn't ride then, and maybe he figured after 4 weeks it's not going to work. Did he act odd? Seems so, but still we don't know shit.

Still, what you are missing is that it is CPs choice to not be out there. He choseto sigm with MCY. He chose not to talk to his team. He chose tonot show up.
Here's a question for you: you are starting a new 450 team and you can hire one big gun for next year. Would you choose CP over RD? Would you pay top dollar for CP?
The question who I would hire is totally pointless, because I'm totally biased towards CP. I really dig the guy and I would take my chances in him because if we struck gold together as a team it would be EPIC, imagine the odd(?) openly atheist Swede team up with hated Frenchy winning! Oh my!
So I would choose CP, also I have this delusions of grandeur were I think I could communicate with him, which most likely would fail just like it did between him and the MCY guys. But that's really related to what kind of team I would have since Mitch succeed where MCY failed most likely because a "lesser team" as in bikes needs more testing and communication...
Still I try to blame my misfortunes in life on myself, so I hope my press release wouldn't be as bitter as the one from MCY.
And are the prices the same or is CP cheaper?
If it was in America and CP was the same price as Dungey I would choose Dungey... but only just, basically becasue Dungey is a straight up guy and living in his own country so... less risk.
If it was the GPs i would choose Pourcel, and if CP was cheaper I would choose CP for America too... the guy can ride a bike, and has more natural talent than maybe anyone bar Stewart.. give him the right tools and keep him happy and he can win anywhere.
Well congrats to you.
CP wouldn't stand a chance in the GPs this year, but with the off season behind him he'd be awsome on a Green bike next year
If I was really rich I would do lot's of crazy stuff just for fun.
If starting a team was one of them CP377 would be really high on my wishlist. I would however force him to ride a twostroke.
Hell, I could pay Pichon a good salary just to do quick qualifying laps on a 250 twostroke.
I must admit I like CP377 more after all this shit, the same with Pichon. The coolest riders in the world to watch is odd french riders with tons of talent and strange behaviours. You never now when they show up though, which is a bit of a downer from a fan perspective but also makes it more exciting.
If I was looking for a wife though I would certainly serach for differnet qualities.
