He didn't lose that championship in the moto his bike blew up in Southwick any more than then his bad motos at Glen Helen, Freestone, Redbud, Washuogal, or second moto at Southwick. If he had won any of those motos instead of finishing back in the pack on his own account the championship still would have been his. Dungey had some bad luck also but at the end of the year he was the better rider. Why can't people just admit that.


Oh and it is great to see someone voice their opinion like that. Go CP.

i agree that they both had some bad moto's throughout the year yet when it came down to the final stretch CP was in control until southwick ( which was disappointing to say the least to hear him say he didn't give it his all in the 2nd moto ). But how do you say that RD was a better rider at the end of the year when CP pretty much had RD covered since washougal speed wise?

Give it some more time and more and more people will be over him.
Great rider but after seeing he has his own roped of area behind the semi, the incident after the restart at Budds where his mechanic had the umbrella over him and he totally grabbed it and threw it out of his hands, i am wearing thin of his personality. Would Doug Henry act like this?

ALL real champions are sore losers. All of them. If they weren't, they wouldn't be winners. It has to hurt to lose in order to push yourself day-in and day-out to do what these guys do.

And on top of that, yes he was paralyzed for something like eight months, and even after he started riding again, he couldn't urinate properly and things like that. He's still suffering from some effects of the paralysis.

Chris Pourcel is a bad dude, no doubt about it, and any of you that would say otherwise are likely sitting on a comfy couch at home with a bucket of chicken in your lap saying how it "really is" on the computer.

You guys should read the feature I did with him in the June issue of Racer X this year, then tell me the guy doesn't have any heart.

No, I was okay after the first moto. The bike broke, but I felt like I could get it back, but when I was ready to go, in the first turn, the bike stopped. I don’t know why. I don’t know if [Ryan] Dungey hit me and I stalled the bike, or what. She just stopped, and I was in front. Then I just didn’t feel like riding anymore.

You dont ever quit. Barcia got to 3rd that moto and Dungey got to 4th. Who knows where CP coulda gotten too had he "felt like riding". Im sorry but you NEVER would hear those words out of Dungeys mouth. The guy who wanted it the most won.

I really hope Pourcel stays around because he is just unbelievable to watch, but he really doesn't have the heart Dungey does. This comment proves that.

HAHAHAHA, I guess he has never experienced the speed of RV and James. He is right though, they wouldnt be following him, they would be passing him

Call me crazy but his arrogance is why I like him. I'm tired of all that, "Awe I'd be super pumped if I on tomorrow." I'd rather hear someone say they were going to win the day before and watch them go out and do it. And if a rider wins whats wrong with him saying he's faster then everyone? Most people hate that kinda stuff but I think its pretty fun and way more entertaining then hearing the same old shit from everyone every time they make the podium. I hate to even bring his name up, lord knows we've heard it enough, but thats why J-Law pulls so many fans.

ALL top riders are arrogant. All of them. They all believe they're better than the other guy. You HAVE TO in order to be a top guy!

Some of them are better at covering it up and putting on an act, though.

When RC said things like, "Wow, those guys rode great today, and I got lucky to win that one." He didn't mean it. In private, he didn't say that crap. He would say, "I had those guys covered all day. I knew I was going to win before I lined up."

That's reality. That's how this thing works.

Pro Circuit rarely makes strategic mistakes, but when CP's bike was smoking with 15 minutes left in the moto, they should have had CP ease up, save the bike, and salvage 10 points. PC blew it.

Seriously, how refreshing to see someone telling it like it is and going for it. He was fast all year and had bad luck, he is a competitor and is mad about it. I am personally more happy to hear this then the usual "if I win I win, if I get 10th I get 10th" line that we usually get. Way to go CP. Good luck next year.
