Any one else excited at the thought of Pourcel maybe racing straight rhythm besides me? It hasn’t been confirmed yet but some of his recent posts looks like it may be happening. Seems like this race is the perfect fit for him. Short sprint races. Doesn’t have to worry about anyone slamming into him. Id feel confident picking him as my favorite to win if he lines up. It looks like this year is shaping up to be full of good racers.

Quick question : Is it possible to lap someone in strait rhythm? Because he's French , and the way things have been going lately he'll probably do it.

Good to see CP377 back!
The most rare character in our sport.

Anyone ever heard the story De Reuver told about Pourcel in the Cairoli movie?

The year he got the mxgp title. On Saturday morning practice every rider shows up but no Pourcel. He was still in bed at 11 in the morning and missed the first practice.
Second and timed practice there still was no Pourcel on the track. And in the last 5 minutes he comes in and set the fastest qualifing time.

He took that from Ron Lechiens playbook.

Ha I believe it. Their is all kinds of cool stories about pourcel. The one time they were testing at GH and for whatever reason he did not feel like putting in a complete fast lap. So after some insisting from Mitch he goes out and put the fastest lap of the day in by over 2 seconds on a 250. And I believe chad reed was also there that day testing when he was on the Suzuki, prob among other pros.

I wonder what would happen when Pourcel was 100% dedicated to the sport. Because i still believe he was one of the most talented riders to throw a leg over a dirtbike.

The Cairoli movie is great btw. Here is the link.

Are you here to tell us he’s not actually doing a SX test day?

Can’t help but notice you abandoned the Tomac thread after you were proven wrong.

I wasn't proven wrong, I don't need to argue on Vital like some. I say what I know and move on, you either believe me or not, I don't care.

We were at a east coast round when he was on 250s. We were at the hotel bar, Pourcell was there abd talking to a couple girls, after a few hours he got up and left with the two girls, we figured he was going to his room.

When we all closed the bar at like 2 or 3 we were walking past the pool and noticed Pourcel was in the pool with two naked girls, good for him.

When we were walking out for breakfast he was now in the sauna, with both girl and a few empty bottles of champagne.

I saw him walk into the pits late with sunglasses on and said he hadnt slept yet. He took a short nap in the rig, went out and got fast lap and won the main.

Later that night we were in the bar talking about what he had done and how he must be tired when he came walking into the bar with a different girl.

He became my hero that night.

You stated that Eli hadn’t tested SX a single time on the new bike. Tomac himself, weeks earlier, had already said that he’s tested SX several times on it.

You’re correct that there’s no need to argue about it because we already heard it straight from the horses mouth.

Alright you two take your pissing match elsewhere. We don’t want this being a 10 page back and fourth arguing about bs. This is for talking about how excited we are about seeing one of the most naturally gifted riders getting to race again.

Im confused becasue on Pulp he said they were still testing outdoor stuff for the MXDN. Maybe I heard wrong. I was driving and listening but not drinking.. TBH, Not sure what they would really need to be testing as he could have just taken the proven 18 setup, but whatever. Maybe he was talking about the 19 setup.
