So the original team was :

MXGP : Gautier Paulin
MX2 : Dylan Ferrandis
OPEN : Romain Febvre
Reserve rider : Benoit Paturel

Now we heard Ferrandis is out of it with a broken scaphoid. He's been replaced by Paturel in MX2.

BUT... we now heard Paturel crashed while training at Villars Sous Ecots and has to stay at the hospital for a few days.

IF (and that is still a big if) Paturel can't race, who goes to Des Nations for team France ?

Only a few days so I guess nothing too bad to race in a month's time.

But indeed, if.

- If you guys want to win Musquin will have to postpone his knee operation (what I can't see happening).
- Try and get Tixier fit and put him on the MX2.
- You could put a young gun on the bike to get some experience (Rubini, Herbreteau, Boisramé, Goupillon...)

I wouldn't panic yet though Wink

Now that sucks if Paturel is out.
No way Marvin is riding MXDN so we are left with Tixier and after that veteran french championship riders or young riders from EMX250.
No matter which one is picked, we're screwed.

Non exhaustive list of filling up riders :

Tixier
Boog
Teillet
Soubeyras
Desprey
Boisramé
Rubini
Goupillon
Pichon

I forgot Pichon's kid races, so I had to do a double take on that one.

It does affect the chances of the team if Paturel can't race.

Yeah that would suck for France who had such a great pool with good backups to end up without a top 3rd rider.
We all know Tixier have the talent but his last few years has been horrible. Dont know who would be the best fill-in. Rubini or Teillet?

Amazing how quickly one forgets!

Yes of course. Even though Pourcel hasnt been himself all year, I´d pick him over all those guys in a heartbeat.
Tons of MXoN experience as well.

It is an MX2 bike we need. So I guess Tixier would be the best choice as he's been world champion on the 250.

Have disagree big time with those picking Tixier. Pourcel is by far the best choice. I actually completely forgot about him too. Ide rate him over Paturel, just cause of his starting skills alone! Wow even im surprised i completely forgot about him.

But Tixier and the French Motorcyclist association don't really get along well, I believe. Not sure they will think of him.

French fédération doesn t want to work with him anymore, and for many years now.
So does Pourcel.

No way it could happen in those conditions.

So does Pourcel and French Federation...
As long as FFM doesn't give big big check, he will stay home jetskiing.

Maybe Rubini since he's more acclimated to 250f than Teillet who's been riding 450F for many years now.

Are you really serious?
Unfortunately yes...

Teillet will be in mode checkers or wreckers going from 450 to 250 and if we look at last few years, he's beeing better at rising his bike than trophies...

I've absolutely no beef against the guy, he's one of the smartest and interesting guy (with Boog) from the french championship and very skilled on the bike.

How willing would Pourcel be to do it? If I remember there's a bit of animosity between him and the french manager?

There is a lot of animosity towards Pourcel from many many people actually.

French federation would rather pick Boisrame instead.

And with reason. I think Boisramé is a better rider.

Actually, outside of Tixier/Pourcel, our best and fastest 250 choices are Boisrame and Moreau.

Brian is very fast on a 250 (set the fastest lap of his group at the opening round of the French championship ahead of guys like Charbonneau, Malaval and Renaux) but he is a little too inconsistent.

Boisrame on the other hand is fast, smooth and a good starter. He just need to get a little stronger physically. Next to those two we got:

Desprey
Teillet
Herbreteau
Goupillon
Malaval
Dercourt

Now that would be interesting! Has Brian ridden the 250 much in France? How has he done outside of that one result you mentioned? He was the only consistent guy this year in EMX125. I love his technique and smooth riding style, I've always thought it would suit a four stroke really well. Would be a pretty big spot to put the kid in though.
