with the speed and success of Trey I can't help but wonder what these races would look like with the crafty frenchman! I feel like he's missing out on a piece of history...I like Weimer too but that French Fry is amazing to watch and always sooooo clever-

Weimer did beat him as so did Hanny in Vegas.......besides 250 and 450 arent the same canards rides the 450 better than a 250. but we wont know how Pourcel will handle the 450.... at least not yet.

Pourcel is my favorite rider......I wish he was out there.. I bet he would be right there with Stewart/Villopoto....ok maybe not right there just a little ways in front of them....

I remember months ago telling people that Frenchy wasn't going to ever win a 450 title and people on here acted like I was out of my mind. Oh how times change. He screwed himself hard thinking he deserved more than he does and sitting out. He will only go down hill, or back overseas, from here.

Christophe really want race the 2011 outdoors season (which wasn't quite the case of 2011 Supercross...). Maybe one or two SX race (like daytona who is at one hour car of his floridian home) if he has found a bike.



If he had been there, for sure, the supercross season would have been more interesting, maybe much more interesting... That's pity, even more when you're French ;o)

well maybe if he didn't want so much money to race then we would be able to see what he can do on a 450 right about now..

Do you ever wonder why you show up in every Pourcel thread, saying the same negative bullshit?

That's one race 2 weeks before mx...I don't remember those two being very prepared for. Mx that year....also the word is that he is better on a 450 and practices all week on one...lastly hanny should he's been riding a 250f for ten yrs..lol

Cp is by far much more clever...even an artist on a bike.can u imagine what more he could do with 200 more cc's? Damn shame!

Pourcel on a Two Two motorsports ride outdoors would be pretty sick! He will be a contender! If supercross is already shaping up like this. I really can't wait for outdoors to start!!!!

I hope a 450 outdoors means less effort overall as a healthy field means you cannot have your krytonite be 2nd moto fitness and still win championship...odds may be better indoors for obvious reasons

Cool, is that his bike? I think he will do better on the 450.

Because I like being right and watching people slowly come around to see what an arrogant, overpriced, overhyped rider he is...... I never said he wasn't great, never. I just simply said he will never win a 450 title in the USA. If you think he hasn't really hurt himself by asking so much money in this economy and sitting out the SX season, you are silly. He will be behind come National time both mentally and physically. On top of that he has a good chance of being on a "privateer" type team and not under a factory tent unless people start getting hurt and he gets realistic with what he is worth.

Watch out, your hate is so big you might stumble upon it and brake your neck.

I have no doubt he would be mixing it up w the top 5...and therefore deserves what they are given. I was under the impression that what he was looking for was not so much money but more like a budget for trainer...tracks and training facility like these other guys...there are only a few teams that can offer that or pay him enough to cover said costs am I missing something?he has the potential to win a 450 championship more so than say josh grant...id be curious to line up everyones salary and then see where the offers were

It's a shame Justin's name is associated with this negativity you seem so proud of.
And you are not right. You state your guesses and hopes about the future, call them facts, then claim you're right. Opinions, guesses and hopes are neither right or wrong. Thinking they are, is stupid.

For some reason, Pourcel tweeted a link to the Racer X video that is interview with Fisher about who might replace Weimer. I haven't seen the video, but I was wondering why he posted that.
