After seeing the excellent - but all too brief - Rupert X blog on Pourcel http://www.vitalmx.com/community/Rupert-X,3424/blog/09/23/2014/entry/3909 ... how about a full-on in-depth interview of CP?

Would love to know more about how he developed his unique riding style, what kind of training he is able to do, what exactly is his injury status and does it still limit him, etc. He is easily one of the more interesting and unique riders out there.

I'll bet Kehoe has some insight as well after managing the team for a season.

Please do... I am a big fan since his battle with Canard for 250f title. He handled the loss with grace and is a fierce competitor on the track.

I guess I have to claim the 7th biggest fan spot. I might be a little more of a hard ass on him though. He obviously has the talent, speed, motivation and tenacity to win. I just think he should be doing more of it.

I agree and Gibby.....dig in.....slam those hard questions in front of him and make him divulge his plans!

Hopefully we get to see him doing the SX 2015 series on something good.

PAGING GIBBY! PAGING GIBBY!

Pretty please!!!

Edit - And Happy Birthday GuyB. Thanks for your excellent work.

Who's got pull with the Guyber around here? Obviously I don't.

I'll even write up the questions / interview for him?

He's getting fucked over by the industry for the 18,000th time. Sucks too. He's better than a lot of guys on factory bikes and he's certainly the best free agent available now. Don't expect anyone to make a big deal about it though.

It's a shame he probably won't have a ride.

That's why we need an interview. Does the industry view him as having too serious of an injury still?

How can they pass on a guy who consistently annihilates the field in qualifying and gets regular holeshots? The only thing seeming to hold him back from running away with a title is .... fitness? Or is he asking for too much $$$.

The guy is a total mystery .... with a ton of riding talent. Would settle for an interview with Kehoe if nothing else. After managing CP for a season he must know a few things.

Try Valli Motorsports?

They probably wouldn't mind the press.

Or Kehoe?

Just read it myself.

In short, nothing lined up for next year yet, and if nothing good comes up he will probably retire, not interested in riding on average equipment.

What's up with Valli for 2015? Im surprised they aren't doing the 2015 SX season at least with him. Are they dropping out of the racing game?

In other words, the chance we'll see CP377 is 10% Angry Maybe if factory team needs a replacement rider, CP can be called upon ...

The rumor is that Yamaha wanted JGR to take him but they refused and settled on Peick.

How does a good team not sign him? With that speed? Do these fucking idiots not understand that riders build momentum when they race multiple seasons in a row? It would have been nothing but up from his outdoor season.
