Think what you want bud. I told you from the start of the series that it wasn't going to be easy for him yet I believe it's you that said it was going to be a cake walk, he'll be 30 seconds a lap faster than everyone, and so on....
Pourcel has been trying and giving it his all yet you seem to know more than Pourcel himself. Are you delusional and can't accept the fact that he's no longer the Pourcel of the mid 2000's. I don't know what it is with you but it looks like you have a solid man crush on him. Why aren't you capable of giving credit to the other riders when credit is due. Is that too hard to do?
It seems like you won't be happy with any of his performances until he gaps the field by a minute plus and even then you'll still find something else to complain about.
Something tells me you don't ride.
I don't personally know him but I hope the negative attitude he seems to always have on here is not part of his daily life. It's certainly not the way to go through life.

Colton rode PERFECT. This is the most focused and -smooth- I've seen him ride. EVER. It was awesome to witness.
One of you seems to be foolish enough to think that Christophe isn't fast anymore, can't race with the best anymore, that not beating Matt Goerke is some kind of sign that it's time to quit...
Etc., etc., etc. ...
News Flash for the dumbass making those statements: your an idiot and you know NOTHING about who is or isn't fast on the track. In-fact, should take up knitting; because, you're that disconnected from the realities of Motocorss. Period.
Matt and Christophe are in a title fight. Both of them are paid pretty damn good money to race for well established teams and on rather well developed equipment. When some inter-web Douche thinks he's got more knowledge than Bobby Hewitt or André Laurin, I find it very entertaining and I want to meet this idiot to tell him what an ass-clown he is.
But, I digress.
This weekend was epic.
HOWEVER, when I look at...IN PERSON...How FAST Christophe rides...
And HOW Christophe goes about "riding fast"...
INCLUDING jumping things and attacking features that NO-ONE-ELSE does...?
Well, "Cautious" ain't the word I'd use.
But, who cares?
Even after spending time in a wheelchair...
He's still doing it.
So...no matter what some folks think they know...
I KNOW that I've seen Christophe's name listed as "Fastest Qualifier" on more Continents, more Races, more different classes and types of Moto (GP, SX, MX) than ANYONE-ELSE I can think of.
Also, let's add the fact that my rider is trying to beat Christophe for the Canadian Title and my rider would, himself, say that your observations and comments about Christophe are "just WRONG".
So, lighten up, Francis.
He knows it all, everyone else knows dick all. Says he's ALWAYS right.
Guy is completely delusional. The guys that come up here should all retire, they're slow, the series sucks, riders sucks, no ones fast, the list goes on with that guy.
Alessi is still a top 10 guy down south but Pourcel should retire because he can't beat Goerke and Facciotti. What does that mean for Alessi?
Told him he should come up to see a race and see just how fast the guys are going. Told him go watch Gopher Dunes and see how rough it gets.
From the start of the series I said it wasn't going to be easy for him but Mr. Knowitall said he'll be 30 seconds a lap faster than everyone, says he's not trying, doesn't care about winning, etc. but I think the performance he put in at the Prince George round would beg to differ. You were there you know.
If he didn't care why would he not have just settled for 3rd in the 2nd moto at Deschambault on Sunday? Pourcel goes on the podium and gives credit to the guys up here being fast and his response Pourcel is lying or is saying that to tell them what they want to hear.
Just start ignoring what he says.
Bye the way, for others in the gallery...Christophe's results this year aren't a whole lot different than Davi's; but, Matt got healthy and got his "charging speed" back.
He then said something along the lines of he had to do that because it's the only way that he can beat him and that we'll see about next week. I don't agree with that but when you're in the heat of the moment you say things without thinking.
As for Goerke telling Pourcel he was going to kill him and tried to fight him, I wasn't there so I have no idea. As they say there's always two sides to a story with the truth usually somewhere in the middle.
Let's start with WHO said WHAT on the podium just 2 days, ago...
1st, Chrisophe stated that he was "DQ'd" at Truro (from his podium interview on Sunday...in FRENCH; so, he KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS SAYING). Christophe got docked 5 positions for VIOLATING the impound rule FOR THE SECOND TIME this year.
YES! That's right, it was the second time we had "impound issues".
Which brings us to what REALLY HAPPENED:
I have a REALLY HARD TIME believing a guy that's raced...
The GPs...and was a World Champion!
AMA SX...250 East ChampionTWICE!!!
AMA National Motocross ...250 Champion!
14 years since he stepped onto the world stage...one of the fastest out there his entire career.
And he can't find his way to the podium when he was CLEARLY 3RD?
He, 28 YEAR OLD Christophe Factory Rider Pourcel, didn't know he was 3rd? REALLY?
Or...He was sick?
Which is it?
Because, NO-ONE saw him getting sick (as was his story). NO-ONE can validate the stories that his camp has told from that day (they vary)...heck...THE OFFICIALS WENT AND GOT HIS BIKE!
Btw, earlier in the year, his team was warned after messing with the bike...IN IMPOUND! And we refused to seek enforcement and ACTUALLY requested a better & more definitive rule...we had their back! Always have!
Then Matt said he's gonna "Kill Him". Really? Uh, no. Go watch the podium interview. Never happened.
As for what happened on the train? Words were exchanged. Someone was an absolute smart ass & it pissed Matt off. Matt got over it.
C'esl la vie!
Note: does anyone know who, EXACTLY, on behalf of the Rockstar/OTSFF Yamaha Canada Team requested that the officials NOT enforce the 27 point penalty and asked that it be a "minimalist" penalty?
And do you know what the reason is/was?
Pit Row
And do you know what the reason is/was?"
Goerke? Because he doesn't want to win the championship that way?
As for what happened on the train that wouldn't suprise me at all. I mean it's pretty obvious when a guy trows a temper tantrum and kicks his helmet after a moto that saying words and being a smartass isn't too far fetched.
As for him being sick from what I know was total bullshit. He just didn't want to be part of the podium celebration so had a temper tantrum and said fuck it went to the truck and called it a day. He knew full well he was in third. Saying Alessi bested him doesn't make sense since Mike was behind him from early in the moto.
As for the impound rules whether it's Pourcel, Goerke, Alessi, Facciotti, Benoit, Medaglia, Epstein, etc. The rules are the rules and both the riders and teams are aware of them. He's lucky the rules weren't enforced because his championship hopes would of been done by now. If Pourcel had impound issues before Truro and that was the second time then he's not only lucky but he's got a horseshoe stuck to his ass.
At the start of the series he said that if he enjoyed himself that we might see him again next year but as of now I'm thinking he tries to set himself up for one last tour of the U.S. nationals or he retreats back home and calls it a career.
He stated on Directmotocross he's still worth a top5 in the US, he's faster than his competition in Canada and the only reason he gets beat is because the tracks are not technical enough for him to make a difference...
And Sodipop I don't know what is wrong with you but I would just stop posting before you make yourself look more stupid.
Completely delusional.
That was a good hard pass by CP and I would expect Goerke to do the same thing If given the chance.
