You mean the good-hearted industry we watch in Inside the Outdoors? Finally a person that can stand up for themselves and leave when the demands (they should get in my opinion) is not met. I understand Pourcel not wanting to ride for next to nothing or on equipment not comfortable on. And if his heart isn't in mx anymore, so be it. It was a pleasure watching him ride.
U have a point. People like this B&W thing with evildoers and good guys, and get's confused by all shades of gray. It's easier to put him in the evildoers desk drawer for some. Despite everything, seems they guy is doing a poor job in communicating, and at some extent most likely have left some less greedy, passionate, love for the sport kind of people frustrated in some way. But we know the flips side of the coin, where those hiring these high paid soliders as soon as they stop delivering do the exact thing back.

Even Canard, who all seems to like, felt the phone stopped ringing as soon as he stopped delivering the following weekend...

The more one think of this angle, it's actually pretty refreshing to have the little guy just do what's best for himself. Or do people really believe people that pulling the shots do some welfare thing?

I think the theme of his thinking was, if I'm going to do it, I want money to compensate for the risks involved, considering he still have issues from the injury...

It's like someone asked you in your line of work to take a higher risk with uncertain outcome. At some point you would do it if the money was right.

Who are we to tell what he should do?

You get?

Well he can go out and prove his worth for a good contract next year instead of sitting around thinking everyone owes him RV-RD money and ride because of results from 3 years ago.

He can ride for some team and get paid something or sit at home and get paid nothing. Has he made lots of coin already to be able to do that? He is in his prime now to make cash doing what he is a pro at. Seems weird how things have gone with him ever since PC.

I'm very curious about the purpose of all the negativity from you and some other french members on the forum? Have you ever met Pourcel in real life? I haven't and I don't know shit about him and couldn't care less. I'm a fan solely based on his riding style.
A fan for being a fans sake with no interest in personal shit ? hey woddya know, they do exist, me too :-)

Most people out there have a very strong opinion on one thing or another, rarely is it factual but based on rumour and conjecture.

It is a shame really but that is why the internet is so powerful - people are given the choice to be a professional on any subject they like so long as it involves nothing at all.

Well, he is disgusted cause he thinks Mitch owes him something for his 2 titles and cause in his head, he still believes he's the shit. But Mitch is a businessman, does he really want to support a rider that doesn't fight for a podium until the end of the championship? (CP didn't want to compete the last GP in Germany in 2012. The team had to force him to go. There, he just cruised arround and didn't fight for his third place and Paulin got third overall)

Just read an interview of CP and you will see he has a huge respect for Payton or JJ Luisetti. No doubt he has a champion temperament, but when I read that, sorry TMV, but you are making you a fool.

You have to be impressed by someone who can throw the words "Pourcel" and "Respect" in the same sentence. Kudos for that, Louis.

Sorry, but I'm afraid you have a some problems with your CP's decoder...

Just read CP's last interview in MOTOVERTE, no need to be translated....he's all but grateful to what Kawasaki Pro Circuit did for him this year....

And for his « champion disposition », well, his behaviour during the last GP in Germany was a very good example, indeed...but, if I had to choose, I would prefer Antonio Cairoli's disposition, as a fighter, as a professional racer, and so on....

To answer your question:

"Christophe Pourcel
je suis en repo. rate fracturer. 2 a 4 mois pour reprendre une vie normale"

Broken spleen, 2 to 4 months rest. He'll be ready for the Outdoor season... Ready to watch it on Allisports.com of course...

Irony being he makes this huge point about only riding for the right money because of the risk. Yet he signs up for a questionable team on a bike he hadn't tested (Moto Concepts) and now he gets a serious injury while he is messing around without contracts, on what (I presume) is a far from factory KTM and arguably (according to some guys on here) racing SX unprepared while he has a groomed SX track waiting for him in Florida. Its all way too kooky!

Seems he came back so strong and focused after his broken back, maybe, in a VERY weird way, time off like this might help him re-focus.

If he comes back, great, but as a fan thats rooted for him, I'm bored of waiting for the return of the exciting Crafty Frenchman that raced forward and played with his competition. And this auction stuff is just bizarre for a professional athlete. Social networking gone wrong and turned into a daily flea market.

Consider me out of the CP band wagon, for now... Au revoir! ...haha.

1) CP does own a nice place in Florida, with a beautiful private SX track...

2) too bad he did not go there / care to use it to prepare for Bercy (as originally planned by both of us)... he may have looked better for his first SX in two years (he probably thought he was up to the challenge anyway ? fact is, he choosed to pocket his traveling $$$ rather than use it to buy tickets to Florida)...

3) TMV does not like him, indeed, but what TMV says is the bare truth;

4) Most here believe CP is done -for good- and that is one (of the only) thing(s) that can't be held against him;

5) In 30 years of Bercy, never had to deal with such a weird / non-trustable dude.
Yeah, Louis is right, all those guys badmouthing Cri and who don't have a clue what they're talking about, it's really getting old...

Xavier seems like a solid dude, always been sober around here, but maybe he's business man as well, and this Bercy event, having CP to attend was more of a business move than charity? Who wins in the long run?

I bet the kids loved it! Smile One of those things you have to look at twice to figure out why it is so akwardly freaky for something that isn't gory; makes it more creepy. At least it was a Halloween costume and not a profession. LOL

I agree about AC222's fighting spirit, but he is #1, there is only 1 like that; so is any GP rider a lazy slow unprofessional racer? In this logic, then Desalle, Paulin, Musquin, Roczen, Searle are non professional racers. Always looking at the #1 and bash the rest is maybe human but not such much balanced. Plus, although AC222 has a long pedigree, he did not win any SX or Nationals, for me any true champion (and so we are back on the champion disposition) in MX/SX has to win both sides (Lackey / Laporte / JMB / Tortelli / DV / Townley / CP / KR / MM).

In regards to "respect", "decoder" or "made my day", I read the interview: he is not happy with Kawi, and by the way just said that he expected more support, but please bring on what he said about JJL and Pro Circuit. He explained what happened, that is all, and I do not see any bad press, we all know the industry is not in a good shape and that budgets are tight. He paid for PC parts, that is the true story so what is wrong with that? Personally I believe that based on his results he should not, business is business and PC got a great visibility upfront in MX1. He was disappointed not to continue with the CP377 team whereas quite everything was clicking, I would be too, get fired and see how you finish your contract.

Last but not least, business-wise, he is tough and (as also proved on the forum) does not make friends. That is business, people make good money on him (including Xavier, who had quite a different version after the MXdN 2011, and we can say that CP participated in selling Bercy's ticket this year). CP does business as much. If you expect to roll him like a rookie, he proved you are wrong. He does not want to suck balls either, I think it is normal. It is like white collars criticize him for doing the same things as they do to everybody, it is really funny. As someone posted above, even the nicest guys, like TC41, when injured, do not receive many phone calls and offers. So now do we start another thread because of the "nasty evil managers or sponsors" that firstly think for themselves? No, it is just business.

Money-wise, he is fine too and can retire. The Charity days were good initiatives, and I did not see him once mention the gears he is selling is for charity, anyone has the right to clear the garage. So again, he is doing a good thing with the charity but then get bashed because he is selling his stuffs to his fans, I would like more riders to do that.

Now racing-wise, it is a loss if he retires. His speed and style are great, he is a top guy bringing a more international dimension and credibility to AMA racing (and this year to the GPs). Example: when Pichon, Tortelli, Roncada, DV and Albee were in the US, nobody could argue the GP champion was even close (Everts). This has participated in valuing the titles of McGrath or RC, no one could contest they were the best. Today, remove Reed, Metty, Roczen, Musquin (and CP), then you get a super US championship, but for me and many fans, then the GPs become the #1 MX series. Will you jump on "the US always win the MXdN"? Hum, yes, but just look at where in average the US champions finish each race and you will see that the GP guys are with or close to them, not 45 seconds upfront like in their championship. Just bring in the top 10 AMA riders with Puerto Rico etc and you will see it is pretty even. Just saying that the foreign riders coming to the US bring more than you think to the AMA championships.

Anyway, for me that is all for now, it is wasting time, different view points, we are post after post doing copy pastes of our respective arguments but we will never agree.

Sorry, but AC#222 is not the only rider who have the fighting spirit, Steven Frossard is also a real fighter, and so are Clément Desalle, Tommy Searle, ........

I'm not looking at the #1, but I'm afraid the way you're looking at CP is not the right one...
