Good article, except that it is not classy at all - pathetic - not to talk about CP, who has by far the biggest pedigree / number of WINS. Yes, some riders may do as much damage, but one of the first things in "journalism" is integrity, objectivity & to verify sources. Geoff has been clicked for less than that, it would be like talking about the GP favorites without even mentioning RV ! ...

The question was posed earlier as to whether Pourcel actually wants to race SX in 2015. Without trying to start another arguement, I still think that if Chris was interested in keeping his name in the pot for potential sponsors...he would have put together his own deal for the MEC at the very least. He wouldn't have even had to have won a race. Just the fact that he suited up and showed up would say tons about him. The fact that it doesn't "mean anything" points wise doesn't keep it from meaning a helluva lot as far as exposure goes. I'll bet a LOT of eyes are on Hill that might not have really looked at him before, and I bet his level of sponsorship rose drastically as a result of his showing at MEC. And, although he might or might not get a full-boat ride by A1, you can bet Malcolm Stewart is on more lips than he was before MEC. These guys, in my opinion are not on the same talent & skill level as Pourcel is...and I have a hard time believing CP is broke. Seems to me that if he really had a heart for proving that he's worth the investment from American sponosors, that he'd have found a way to be behind a gate there.

I said what I thought, and still think. If you do the same, great.
