MotoXAddicts (DanDunes?) is saying he signed for 2 years with Husky. We finally get to see his SX potential.

He praised his team on the podium today. Sounds like CP377 found a home. Motocross and Supercross are better with him racing. Congrats to the team and Pourcel

I asked Christophe in press conference and he said it was done deal. He will stay in US with Husqvarna through '17 and race SX and MX. We'll try to get interview up Monday morning. It seems like Christophe is really enjoying himself this time around and the team.

Champagne ! He could not find a better home. A bike he gells with, a team on the rise so less pressure, the huge support from ktm who has probably the best bike but also a really good reactivity to adapt to the rider style. I do not know if it is contractually possible but he should thank "THE MAN" on the podium !

2016 will be a good sx season. Not that this championship needs foreigners but the series looks so much better when you have the greatest from all over the world (Reed, Roczen, CP, Musquin, Wilson). It will be a sad day for the sport when Reed retires. That also shows to the world it is the toughest series to make it to the big boys class.

I thought we had lost him: it's so great to see. He could be a force to be reckoned with if he's happy and comfortable on the bike. Supercross in 16 is going to be great!

Now to see how much he likes the '16 Husky which should in essence be the '15 KTM FE.

Why the fuck would they want alessi? Why would ANYONE want alessi?

Anyway, so pumped on this!! Like someone else said I thought we lost him. So glad he either a. needed more money or b. Decided he actually loves this racing stuff (some days)

I think he wins a sx next year, but I might be on glue.

it was amazing watching him ride yesterday. so smooth just looked like he wasn't even trying. too bad he had a bad start u=in the second moto but he got back to 5th. you could see the top 3 guys the last few laps just conserved energy for the second moto. there was one moment when dungey came down the hill from the road jump that was sketch and amazingly he didn't crash where he made up a lot of ground on pourcel where he took advantage of a rider that had pourcel boxed in

He never looks like he's trying, and he never looks fast. Amazing to watch really.

When he first raced SX here, he had a body like Arnold with a Denzel face.... Smooth, yes, fast as hell. Like he was just cool with getting things dialed while riding at podium speed.
Expect to see him with a lot of points at the end of the SX season.

Takes second in his very first 250f SX race against RV and then came back to beat him the very next week. He is so sneaky fast in SX with his effortless style.

Congrats CP...can't wait to see him ride SX. Very cool for husky and hewit's to take a chance on pourcel when others wouldn't or they signed riders with issues themselves, glad to see it working well for all parties.

Pourcel is my favorite 450 rider but, I dont see him ever winning a race unless he has a 10+ second lead after halfway..... He is very timid once he hits lappers, which I do not blame him as he was paralyzed from another riders mistake
