I hope he has some good luck and can find his way challenging for the podium again.

I wonder if Answer gear stays with him because they have Hahn and a Wilson now. We shall see in a few days.

Answer is making a push so I bet they keep Weimer on the team. and I hear all of the MSR riders will be wearing Answer for the 15 season. and the bike is sick.. those aint no Raptor footpegs. and the mototassanari boot. I do not know of anyone trying those. seems overlooked. I need to get one to try on my '15 KX. the PC Ti 6 pipe is a must have for the KX450. it gains power everywhere

Glad to see he at least has something reasonable going. I don't expect much out of him, just hope he gets something figured out soon I hate seeing him struggle like he has.

Are you referring to the Mototassinari airboot that gets overlooked? If so, you have overlooked the fact that basically every team is running that airboot.

I wonder why Mitch is giving rides to guys like Weimer and Hill for these events but not Pourcel? I was under the impression that he thought very highly of him, they won two consecutive lites SX championships together and it sounded like he was very supportive of CP.

Good thing he has a ride even if it's one of the most Broish rides I've ever seen. Looks horrible. But I guess that's the look Monster is looking for. It would be hilarious if Monster where to sponsor a golf or tennis player. The crowd would faint.

I have a feeling the devil is in the details. Just guessing, but I imagine that Weimer is looking for parts and maybe a some sort of contingency money. I have to guess that CP is looking for a salary and team to go along with the bike and parts.

All just speculation.

Edit: Or what Crush said.

I partially believe Mitch is just trying to help a guy out, but I'm also pretty confident that this has more to do with Mitch's ego and he wants to see his equipment lined up against the factory stuff. Cant blame him. JW is a quality rider that has a lot to prove.

Weimer is pretty fortunate to be getting any big name support at this point. We will see if he makes the most of this opportunity.

You know what's crazy? The only thing Mitch makes are exhaust flanges. The rest is made by that liiiiiiittttttle sticker on the numberplate that says "CMI" Been that way since the Honda to Kawi switch in 93.

It's CMI and its the guy who makes just about all of Mitch's parts. He outsources. Has for a long time. The CM is the guy's initials and I is industries.

I'm assuming PC still does the designing, R&D, testing, etc then they just outsource the production part to CMI?

That would make sense. Manufacturing in CA is a pain in the ass. We build hydraulic doors and have the R and D in CA and the actual production in MN. CA is just on agency after another trying to get in your pocket. We even have the compressor police who drive around looking in the back doors and making sure that you have a compressor permit and that it is up to date.

Makes sense. I know that is how it is done with the exhaust down there.

I think all he confirmed in that interview was they were still on good terms and Mitch would give him a ride if he could find funding for it.....but he cant.

I think I read somewhere that Mitch appreciated CP's talent...and actually liked him. I think he'd still give him some help if he could, but maybe Hill & Weimer are more relevant...and less "complicated".

I am pretty sure Mitch confirmed that working with Pourcel was very complicated. Mitch is at a point in his career where he doesn't need to put up with said bullshit. Less relevant? Not sure about that after this past year - hard to deny his skills. I think it's likely that CP wants more than the other two as speculated above.
