Mod's... I apologize. I realise that Vital is an equal oportunity website and I have no right to mock the 'brain cell challenged' (like Braap14) who post here.
It will waste my time to go again into details but in this interview Luisetti only says he is disappointed because they finished 4th. True, 4 GP before the end they were in a good position to finish on the podium, that is all. CP injured himself in quali at the GP of Great Britain so he scored only 22 points in 2 GP, by far his worst score this year. Sure it can be somehow disappointing, the podium was lost here.
My point of view, if he was not over excited by the final round, I even think it was logical. Let us consider you are a pro mx rider. You are fighting since months to win races, GPs and finish on the championship podium. You are still the 1st Kawi in MX1 (incl. the best Kawi representative in MX1 since RV is injured), showing that your newly created team is as competitive as the Kawasaki factory team. You crash and you are half injured, any new crash on your shoulder can be a career ending, but you are still ok to defend your championship podium. Then you understand that the people you are expecting more support from for next year, not Luisetti, but Kawi, will not give anything more. Reed got supported by Honda when he proved he was running upfront? And why only Tommy Searle/CLS gets the factory equipment (also a bit thanks to CP's work)? I would be upset and quite not motivated afterwards to risk my career with my shoulder issue at the final round of the championship (still 25 points that day, vs. Paulin with 34 points). I also think it was even more risky for the shoulder, because there was a big big rivalry, big pressure, between his team and Kawi factory, which had already resulted in a big crash at the start with Boog and both Pourcel's.
To make short: at our level, it is kind of like your employer (since 19 years ok let us say 8 years, and already after some drama 2 years ago) fires you, then you have the 2 months notice to finish the good work, while for instance you have a kid to nurse. Would you be as motivated as when you started your contract?
About Luisetti being disappointed, it is normal because they were fighting for the podium. But stop exagerating and extrapolating! Each interviews show great respect and great profesional relationship between the 2. Check all CLS/Luisetti/CP interviews: http://www.motoverte.com/site/article-resultat.php?rech_motcle=luisetti…. I do not think any of CP's sponsors are mad at him because he finished 4th of a stacked and very exciting championship, with a few wins, let us not forget Sebastien Pourcel's results, because he also won the French MX1 title for the team, plus also thanks to this new team results, I see Luisetti super pumped to get the factory support!
Man up
Career suicide took place 2 years ago"
Regarding your second point, it is true that he pretext too often something, a la JMB, to make the competition mad. That is a mental game too.
Career suicide: CLS Pro Circuit, 4th in the MX GP, 2 GP wins + some races. To be honest, where should I sign?
And its pretty obvious that we have a nut hugger here: I am not 100% sure with your slang, I am French so for me there is a language barier, but I will take this small risk. "Ask you Mom bro ". When a dumb ass that respects nothing continues to deliver B.S. I sure need to make the effort to set myself at the same level.

I agree with mxwells, think its crazy a guy with that much talent isn't racing. Also odd theres been no news eitherway..
Yes it is strange with CP, but i think he have ridden really conservative the last two years, almost as if he was scared of riding. He was always looking like he was given 90%.
Musquin is really talented, trained and appreciated, but for me there is still a result difference, as well as a totally different personality/approach. CP is an extremely talented bad dude that would kill to win, I like that as much as I like his intox.
Do you guys remember how he jumped that one "RC4" jump at High Point?!
