Was shaping up for a great race 'til Canard went down.... I have to say, that even though Pourcel went down and will most likely lose yet another championship... He has gained my respect this season. He's overcome so much and come so far. And the way he handled his losses these last few races was honorable. I was cheering for Canard, but like everyone else... I wanted to see them race for it.

Also, anyone who says Canard doesn't "deserve" it, is a complete imbecile.

Dude, i regret typing that. It was an emotional reaction. Canard and Pourcel are my favorite racers. I'm torn either way who wins.

Announcers just said that Pourcel may race Moto 2. During the WMX race they said that the Dr's popped Pourcel's shoulder back into place.

Yeah, these two champions are by far my favorite guys in this class. I've said many of times they are both champions in my eyes, despite who holds the #1 plate at the end of today. And I've also probably taken up for Pourcel more than anybody on this board, in contrast to all hate Pourcel receives from American fans.

Once Canard went down, I was like, "Shit!"
So I was rooting for him to get back into the mix.
When Pourcel went down, I made celebrating reference to Canard's high religiosity in as a comment. Immediately afterward, I posted how i was bummed at shit for Pourcel (go find it, page 4 I think).

Maybe you interpreted it as me celebrating Pourcel crashing, but it was a celebration remark for Canard.

If Canard wins the title I will be happy for him, but bummed for Pourcel (especially now).
If Pourcel wins the title I will be happy for him, but bummed for Canard.

That may sound unconventional, but both of these guys are absolutely amazing athletes.

I'm guessing CP has ridden with some pain before...hope he toughs it out. No matter who wins I'm a happy camper.

If you read this thread from the beginning, it's interesting the ebb and flow... Two guys flat-out racing for a title, and a bunch of other guys on the internet hanging on every turn. Motocross is freaking awesome! And by the way... Dean Wilson= VERY IMPRESSIVE. GREAT first Moto. Can't wait for the MX2 MXdN race in a couple weeks! Cheerful

Usually when something this monumental happens it propels the sport that much higher in to the public eye. It's a great time to be a motocross fan right now.

Where's Pourcel riding next year? DV12 just tweeted this:

DavidVuillemin

Weimer signed factory kawi today. Rumors says CP was too difficult to deal with and they signed Weimer for a fraction of what CP was asking

Never thought he would be green anyhow. He's gonna spank Weimer in 450s, he should make more than him. SO SO bummed for him right now. I HATED him last year but have really come around on him. He's got personality if you get through the language barrier and has gone through CRAZY adversity.
