I know on last weeks GP broadcast they said that he was riding again, but wouldn't be back for any of this years remaining GP's. All I have.

Considering the stories I was told, if he can come back and be remotely competitive, that in itself would be a victory

according to a weekly mx publication in the UK (TMX) he is showing surprisingly good lap times on the 450 and is 90% certain to ride the MXoN with his brother on 450 and Nico Aubin on 250.

the fact that he is riding (and hauling major ass), is nothing short than a miracle!!!

he will be settling in in cali close to the PC shop in a matter of weeks.

he will be ready for SX .

i think he could easily take a championship if he's back in shape, considering he was the only one to beat Villopoto last year indoors.

he used to be known as a slacker during the week, but now declares to have shaped up and putting in what it takes every week!

here are some pictures taken in may:

I agree, that would be an amazing recovery.

Cool kid I talked to him at A1 the time he was here for the few rides. He was also out at Comp Edge practicing and watched him on the supercross track, he hauls ass.

I like the kid. Reminds me of Bayle. I hope he can come back and be more than competitive. I would say the outlook is good.

From watching him in the GP's last year, I really think he's the next JMB. The kid is that smooth and fluid – not to mention fast – when he rides.

His injury was pretty bad. I am surprised he is back more or less. I wonder if mentally it will affect him? Me , I would not be able to come back from something like that without mental scars. My son on the other hand doesn't even remember bad injuries and just goes about his business. I wonder if Pourcel is that way. Hope he is.

The good thing is he's healthy. I hope he can regain his speed.
