Read this translation SLOWLY. Understand what he is saying. It's really cool. First he calls out Marvin, then he talks about how awesome it was to see two young warriors lay it down:
But where is Marvin? I am with the Super-Cross-country race of Paris Bercy, Justin Barcia is in track with his American buddies. They fight against a French handle whose Greg Aranda is the leader. Marvin, you should be there with us, if you want to become a star… a legend… large… if you want to show your talent with the public which awaited you in silence and which would have I am on fact much of noise for you. But not, you are not there, you have certainly your reasons not to be among us. One US season to prepare… contract dollars… not desire for wounding you…. Do you believe that the money will make a difference at the end in your career? Or a US title moreover or less? … compared with the image that you leashes.
Ca believe me it is of that people remember… holds a sentence of Roger who marked me much: “If you are nothing without your titles you will not be much more with…” I opened the track of Bercy with my idols: Jacky, Pitcher, Danny, one of my ex competitor: Ron, one of my Sebastien successors, the pals and the friends now. I had N° 58 on the plate before my motor bike in homage to Marco Simmoncelli deceased in race with the GP de Malaisie, believe that the contracts…, the money, it carried them with him in its paradise? … All that does not have any importance it on the other hand left its trace in the hearts of us all and one will remember forever his career in MotoGP thanks to his passion, his charisma, his attack, his goings beyond. It is as that which it was expressed with the handlebar of a Motor bike without thinking of the pain of its last falls nor of thinking of the consequences of the risks that it took, just there for the pleasure of controlling and of showing its talent and its love for what it made…
Which pleasure of seeing Justin Barcia rolling with his ardour and its freshness, which pleasure of seeing Greg Aranda driving out the stopwatch for the super pole… you do not mislead, one is there to see this kind of thing, the victories without battles, insane relief, emotions one of… The incident of Saturday evening between Greg Aranda and Justin Barcia was a pure moment of happiness, that they was good to see that. A stupid attitude will say some….but which for me had all its value symbolic system of two pilots full with youth, freshness and ambition. Ca pleased to me to see that this spirit of warrior was still present in this room of the POPB. That has is enough to clarify my evening, even want and even not considering the final whereas Justin Barcia was not there any more. Justin cheer, Greg Cheer, it are what one wants to see, you effleuré l' spirit of Marco. JMB

Not that it is bad advice but maybe Marvin wants to do it his way.
BTW, some of the other French riders you mention don't do SX or are recovering from injury. So they have a built in excuse.
Last year was kind of a disaster for him, between the knee and thumb injury, and his confidence was shaken. Roger mentioned that a couple times as Marvin was coming back starting at Washougal. The way he was riding today? I'd say it's back.
While it's cool to hear JMB speak up, I'm guessing that Marvin and Roger (and probably Pit and Stefan) have a plan, and that it didn't include Bercy this time around.
but i'm still on a 2nd grade reading level... so
Mais où est Marvin ?
Je suis au Super-Cross de Paris Bercy, Justin Barcia est en piste avec ses copains Américains. Ils se battent contre une poignée de Français dont Greg Aranda est le meneur.
Marvin, tu devrais être là avec nous, si tu veux devenir une star... une légende...un grand... si tu veux démontrer ton talent au public qui t’attendait en silence et qui aurait je suis sur fait beaucoup de bruit pour toi. Mais non, tu n’es pas là, tu as certainement tes raisons pour ne pas être parmi nous. Une saison US à préparer... contrat dollars... pas envie de te blesser.... Crois-tu que l’argent fera une différence à la fin de ta carrière? Ou un titre US de plus ou de moins?...comparé à l’image que tu laisses. Ca crois moi c’est de cela que les gens se souviennent... tient un phrase de Roger qui m’a beaucoup marqué: “ Si tu n’es rien sans tes titres tu ne seras pas beaucoup plus avec...”
J’ai ouvert la piste de Bercy avec mes idoles: Jacky, Broc,Danny, un de mes ex concurrent: Ron, un de mes successeurs Sébastien, des potes et des amis maintenant.
J’avais le N° 58 sur la plaque avant de ma moto en hommage à Marco Simmoncelli décédé en course au GP de Malaisie, croyez vous que les contrats..., l’argent, il les a emporté avec lui dans son paradis?... Tout cela n’a aucune importance il a par contre laissé sa trace dans les coeurs de nous tous et on se souviendra a jamais de sa carrière en MotoGP grâce à sa passion, son charisme, son attaque, ses dépassements. C’est comme cela qu’il s’exprimait au guidon d’une Moto sans penser à la douleur de ses chutes passées ni penser aux conséquences des risques qu’il prenait, juste là pour le plaisir de piloter et de montrer son talent et son amour pour ce qu’il faisait...
Quel plaisir de voir Justin Barcia rouler avec sa fougue et sa fraîcheur, quel plaisir de voir Greg Aranda chasser le chrono pour la super pole... ne vous trompez pas, on est là pour voir ce genre de chose, les victoires sans batailles, sans relief, sans émotions on s’en fou...
L’incident de samedi soir entre Greg Aranda et Justin Barcia était un pur moment de bonheur, que c’était bon de voir ça. Une attitude stupide diront certains....mais qui pour moi avait toute sa valeur symbolique de deux pilotes pleins de jeunesse, de fraîcheur et d’ambition. Ca m’a fait plaisir de voir que cette esprit de guerrier était encore présent dans cette salle du POPB. Cela a suffit à éclairer ma soirée, même pas eu envie et même pas vu la finale alors que Justin Barcia n’était plus là.
Bravo Justin, Bravo Greg, c’est ce qu’on veut voir, vous avez effleuré l'esprit de Marco.
Good on Musquin to work on his 2012 season, Bercy already screwed his 2011, better not repeat the same mistake.
Pit Row
The commentary on Marco Simmoncelli was well written and meaningful.
As far as him "giving up on the sport", that's hardly the case. He set a goal to race in America, and WIN in America. He conquered that goal and set a new one on the asphalt and gave everything he had there as well.
Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
high-regard for the surgical manner in which he made a motorcycle dance, that I could give a fat rat's arse
on his opinion of MM and Bercy.
first of all you have to understand that jmb is an icon for french moto, and he is talking to a french rider........so he says that musquin should give more importance to get into the hearts of the fans and be always remembered and not just ride for money and contracts that some day could became meanningless.....
he tells him that cuz he nows that the french homecrowd expected him the most to defend their collors....he even quoted roger d, talked about his experience to open the track with the lengends and even about the huge recognition of talent and heart for marco simmoncelli where he used the #58 on his bike......
i guess he felt that the french fans where kind of left without their stars cuz this is a one off race not too important in the championships point of view, but the most important race for a french sx rider, he advises musquin to look at the heart of the fans and not only to contracts and money, so in the long run his carreer can stand longer as one of the greats of the sport
i can see his point...!!!!!
In addition, JMB speaks of how he was really excited to see Barcia and Aranda ride with such passion, regardless of the ultimate drama that it led to on the track.
Racing with heart. That's what it's all about.
Bercy is just a glorified Arenacrss IMO.
But JMB was one bad MoFo on a dirt bike. One of these best ever.
It's good to see him publically recognize what the Barcia/Aranda confrontation was, and thats passion. Someone will jump on here and say Barcia is a punk. He might be, I dont know him and have never met him, but what I have seen from him is passion. Bam-bam isn't his nickname because he knocks out people in the pits (or when a pissed off frenchman comes after him), its because his passion showed on the track and he never has settled to be behind anyone, which usually means taking someone out even if its himself. JMO though.. everyone has one. And since I don't give a fuck what yours is, I don't expect you to care about mine
I understand what JMB was feeling but MM has a program. He needs to put last year behind him and get ready for the next season, Bercy will still be there next time. Imagine if he went and injured himself again.
