This is as inconsistent as AMA Pro, Feld, & MX Sports, just making the rules up as they go along. Even if it is a stupid rule, you still need to FOLLOW IT, AND be consistent with the penalty. Possibly the Ambulance or an EMT should be stationed at the impound area in the future. “What if ....” Pourcel really didn’t know he was third and no race official directed him? The Championship COULD be decided by these 7 points !!!
I like Pourcel he's a great rider, is incredible to watch and gone through a lot to be where he's at but him and some of his fan boys need to look in the mirror a little bit and realize it's not always someone else's fault, especially when stuff like this happens no matter what series he's racing or what team he's racing for.
I'm not gonna try and pretend I like the guy, but what I wrote is exactly what he said...
The title could be "Man, your crappy country really sucks", lol...
Listen to the interview.
Yes, Rules are Rules, & I'm ALL for Rules,
but the Officials always have to look at what caused what & use common sense beyond such Rules in certain circumstances as you have here!!
So for me & my vast yrs of experience, the OfficIals left their common sense at their hotel.
& yes, his loss of Points is better than a DQ, but still if the Athlete is Proven to be Ill or Injured then that changes everything to me..
Think you should do something about your blindness, though.
Once again, this podcast is the funniest sh** I heard in a while...
Don't think I'm the one who needs help.
It sounds like it's from "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here"!
I respectfully disagree. He should have been disqualified. If the rule is that bad, then the teams can petition, or lobby, to have it altered. What if next race the top three just decide to go back to their motorhomes saying they don't feel well? Even if it is a stupid rule, you still need to FOLLOW IT, and be CONSISTANT with the penalty.
Gopher was Gopher that day....track management was awesome but that place gets gnarly, makes Southwick look smooth....just ask JYD.
Don't mind hearing some criticism on our tracks but Gopher Dunes should not be one of them.

So if he has a broken arm but finishes the moto in the top three he should have to go to impound still????
What a joke.
Only nationals I've attended were SDL since it's my home track, Ste-Julie when it was on the schedule because it was a short 2 hour drive and Joliette back in the early 2000's. Now that those 3 are off the schedule the next closest ones are the 2 Quebec rounds but are a few hours away. Ulverton and Deschambault look great on TV so I can only imagine what it's like in person. Same goes for MX Bon-Conseil. Quebec has a lot of great tracks to choose from. Glad I got to ride some of them.
fix the bunch in your canadian flag panties and pipe down. you are irrationally biased
BTW impound is right next to the podium and the medics are on site.
Like other's have mentioned he's on a professional team and they know the rules. It was up to them to follow the rules and make sure he stayed there after the moto. If he's not happy about the points deduction that's his problem. He didn't get DQ'ed like the rule book states so he should count himself lucky.
The end result would of been the same had it been Goerke, Facciotti, Medaglia, Alessi, Epstein, Benoit, etc.
Pourcell (according to Matthes's tweets) did not receive medical attention,
Besides if you don't like our series it's simple, just don't click on the thread.
Apparently that's a hard concept to grasp for some people.
Because watching our riders go directly the the podium and thumb blow their snot on camera is bad enough.
Who wants to watch a rider puking, either in real life or the inevitable youtube/instagram/snapchat/ fb video
Don't get hurt swinging from steves sack.
