Watson mentioned H&H made an offer which wasn't enough to tempt him on PulpMX last week..

Will anyone lay down the $$$ to get him back over? Is he making that much in Europe?

Heard Searle is on Pro Circuit for MX1 next year so that could point to CP riding in the US.

mitch did say he'd keep the 450 program if he could, pourcel and tickle would be a strong combo

That's the rumblings I heard.... Too early in the year for this nonsense. haha.

Would be very curious to see how Pourcel would do in 450 SX though.

He'll be smooth as butter in SX on the big bike.

I reckon he'd have similar style to Dungey than ride aggressively like Villopoto, Chad, James or Trey. By that, I reckon he'll see a season out but only win here and there rather than go on a tear. Too many other fadt guys willing to push it further.

Here's a thought, if Christophe goes stateside under the PC tent again, what are the chances Deano is his wingman?

I hope this really happens, especially if he ends up in a good team and manages to stay motivated for the entire season.

Based on talent alone, I imagine he would be one of the front runners. Unfortunately, the question mark with him is always the mental side. In my opinion, riding for Mitch again would greatly increase the chances of him keeping his head straight.

Supposedly he is on a Privateer bike and doing great in the GP's i think if he got on a great Kawi definately a solid top 5 guy

Yeah Pourcel says he doesnt wanna risk a injury on equipment that isnt up to par.... so maybe Mitch can get him back to that 2009-2010 stature challenging Dungey for the wins

CP on a KTM 350 for Bercy. Did try a factory KTM 350 one year and a half ago in florida (same as Short I guess) and really disliked it, tried a stock 350 a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. Said the lack of power is an advantage as 450s have too much power and that i'ts not needed...

Wow, did not expect that. Wonder where that will lead him to next year? Maybe Factory KTM in the US will pick him up?

Wow! I never expected to see him on a KTM!

CP and a 350 could be very interesting.

KTM did have the $$$ there for Wilson, so guess the same amount could be spent on Pourcel, potentially. I presume he must be courting them to pull off this move?

Wonder what his relationship is like with Everts & Bierer and the Euro KTM brass? And Roger!

He did have a really interesting offer from JWR and did not accept it. One things for sure, he will never find such a good deal in any team here, no way...
