It's starting to look pretty sad that a talent like Pourcel's is in jeopardy of being lost this SX season. It would have been good to see him wind up on a factory team, but since the season is shaping up, it looks more like he is going to be relegated to a privateer or satellite team. Oh well, that's racing I guess.
Seriously though, I wonder if we'll see a "Three Seven Seven Motorsports" rig at Anaheim and one pissed off, motivated Frenchmen.
I think that'd be cool.
The Shop
.....Pourcel is looking like he might be back in.
Theres always a rainy day fund laying around somewhere and I stand by my earlier assesment that CP377 will bank a million bucks in fiscal year 11
He wont get his demands met.....but he banks a million.
Lets say if he wanted to race the MX1 World Championships?
I honestly cant see a kid of his level not racing anywhere in 2011.
I really hope there's something we are missing because from how it seems, and from his letter to the public, it sounds like he thinks way too highly of his talents. I like the guy, he's a great kid, but this is just sad. He hasn't proven what he can do on a 450, and has only won regional championships in the 250s.
I'm pretty sure Bob Hannah would shake his head in disapproval upon hearing what Pourcel is doing.
Pit Row
If he doesn't ride this season he won't make a quarter of what was offered to him next season. Why he doesn't pick a ride, prove himself, then ask for more money is beyond me. Whoever his agent is needs to be fired, either the or Pourcel is a dumbass. I know he says he just wants his salary to be as high as his competition, but he could run a fantastic program on less than half a mill per year. Easily.
Bingo.
even a privateer team that could pay him half of what he wants. I don't think its about
taking less at this time. I think its too late to get any ride other than prob ride for free.
I hope im wrong.
Maybe Mitch can write off his nest egg Roth IRA to capitalize on foreign markets.
