He accepts nothing.
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...

Top 5 in the states?

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?

What the hell kind of thought process arrives you at Pourcel purposely not trying to win this championship? Since when has that ever been the goal? Why would he sit there for 20 motos eating roost and rocks if he was fully capable of wicking it up and passing all those guys? Honestly makes zero sense what so ever and if you truly believe that I think you might have to see a doctor.

Goerke? Because he doesn't want to win the championship that way?
