All the comments I've read about him being cocky and this and that, blah, blah. "He's French, so he's a dick". Ignorance is bliss I guess.
Seems like a totally normal, cool, kid just like Canard. I'll admit TC wasn't my fave after running RV into that finish line structure, lol, but I really like both these kids. They've both been through a lot, too. I don't know who to root for at Pala!
Future of moto looks bright with these guys, and the others coming up, and coming back.

And here is the forecast for the National's weather:
Saturday September 11
Sunny
High 71°
Low 56°<
Equalizer, as far as weather.
Prediction: Both Canard and Pourcel win one moto, with the rest up in the air
I will be happy with whichever one wins the title. Both are great competitors and both want it so bad obviously.
The Shop
Out of curiosity, how many of the members here who are not American want Canard to take the title over Pourcel?
Not American by the way..
Anyway, Pourcel is the man. Like him much better than Canard. Trey is a great rider, has lots of grit and talent. Trey is too goofy for me. I like Pourcel's style on and off the track. Cool dude.
Spill it!!!
What's the difference?
I don't know much about him other than what I see here in the US.

Realistic would be 81-degrees, right? Add in the cool breeze from Oceanside!
Cocky??........pffft!.........that cockyness isn't anything like some of the American riders we have had here!
Jeff matasivich ( spelling?)
Damon Bradshaw
James Stewart
Bob Hannah
and countless others! Besides the fact.......i think some people mistake cocky for confidence ! And IF he is a little cocky......who cares! You are only seeing a few of the 40 riders getting interviewed every week that make it on the box......and IF you think some of those other 37 guys aren't cocky......you are seriously mistaken!
I've met and rode with some of the fastest pro's out here in the NW over the years........and some of them were so cocky that after about 5 minutes after meeting them , i wanted to punch them in the face!
For me, it's about what the guys do on the track, couldn't really care about their interview personalities etc.
All things being equal, I would probably cheer for a non-American rider in the AMA series. Not because I don't like Americans, but I like supporting underdogs and any foreign rider competing in the US is doing it just that little bit harder.
I only have what I can see on the weather sites. You guys have to set me straight.
However Canard has really stepped up his game in recent weeks and if he wins the title then fair play - the kids an incredible rider and will deserve it 100%. I really don't mind who wins the championship now to be honest.
I like the mutual respect they have for each other. I thought it was really cool when I read that Trey told the fans to stop booing CP.
I want to see a great race at Pala and I will be happy regardless who wins it.
CP has overcome so much to get back to the top of such a brutal sport. To do so in a country where most people don't like the French is even more difficult.
Trey is like the all American kid with a great upbringing and good morals (nothing to do with religion.) I want to see him win for his dad as well. Trey is someone I am proud to call an American.
