Maybe CP will feel more at home with a fellow Frenchman, surprising move but it could turn out well with the french connection and DVs US experiance behind him, it doesn't matter where CP rides he will be at the front either way.

I know everyone is expecting this guy to make a huge impact, but he is going up against a healthy JS, CR, RV, and RD. It will good to have another competitor out there, but the impact will be minimal IMO.

Good for MCR. Glad they were able to work something out, and continue to progress as a team. With all of their riders healthy they should be a strong team this summer.

he would have beat RD for a outdoor title had his bike not blown up. he will have no problems keeping up.

Monster would be able to be a team sponsor for another manufacturer, if they're no longer with Kawi... that's how I see the two being related, GA.

When it is a guy like Pourcel things change.

x2. Anyone that doesn't think CP377 will be up front is blinded by their dislike of him. The man only knows how to win, and will win in whatever class of whatever series he lines up in. Can he win the title? Not so sure about that, but he will be in contention at every race IMO.

This signing has me soooo pumped!

I think Pourcel could have done better for himself.

can those rumors. kawi and monster are not splitting up. wont happen anytime soon.


motoconcepts lets cp keep his fox deal and his monster helmet deal. and motoconcepts' owner doesnt have shallow pockets.

im not sure where pc fits into all of this. dont be suprised if his bike looks a lil different under the tent than the rest of the motoconcept bikes.


this is really a spectacular move by dv considering that up until two days ago, he hadnt heard back word one from cp regarding the deal he offered. when i listed all the possible teams he could end up on, i didnt even factor in motoconcepts. talk about dark horse jumping into the mix at the 11th hour. i guess it just came down to flexibility, as in, which team would let him keep his current sponsors.

the better yamaha would have been valli. i would think that now, this has significantly raised the stock and stature of the motoconcepts team. if they were a customer team before, they will probably end up a satellite because of this signing.

Spy was goggles first .

Jeremy was an original investor back in the early - mid '90's and to begin they were Scotts with a "Spy" strap. The glasses came a short while later.

Nope, I was wrong Pourcel will not be riding for Factory Connection this year and it will be Motoconcepts. I'm big enough to admit I was wrong. Sorry for any confusion. What I heard was old news.

Now here's something to chew on. Not sure if many people know this, but the present 450 Yamaha riders, from Stewart on down have had negative comments about the newly designed Yamaha 450, saying that the bike doesn't work very well in race conditions. If Pourcel comes out in the up coming Motocross series and posts great results, what will this make these riders look like? I think it will make them look like complainers and riders who are look to blame the equipment.

I for one hope Pourcel does well and makes these guys look stupid. Go get 'em Pourcel!

i like pourcel just for the fact that hes a tough dude and has come back through some crazy injuries and is still at it. that being said he will still not be a podium guy in this field on a fofiddy.
