Adding another player in the mix.

IMO the pace has grown since he last raced in America. He could steal a win or two but the young guns are very tough to beat right now in the 250 class.

Would think with his "heat" issues he would be running SX and not MX, either way hope he sticks it out and mixes it up out front

I disagree especially with Kenny and Eli gone. If Pourcel rides the FIRST motos like he used to he would absolutely beat these kids. Second motos are a different story but that is not CP's fault. This guy use to handle Dungey, Barcia and Canard in first motos and he is a DNF and a broken shoulder away from two straight lites titles. All is a big if though, but if he still runs his old speed he will be just fine.

I'm wondering why you say that second motos are not CP's fault.

He should be in the 450 class but I guess he knows he would get smoked even worse.

I don't know what your reasoning or conspiracy theory might be, but Erin is probably going into the auto racing commentary gig full time instead of SX/MX. I'm sure there is a LOT more money to be made in that area, and she's damn good at it.

I was trying to think of something clever to say about condoms, Poucel, and pulling out but it just won't come to me.

I agree with you- you can never count out pourcel. Anyone who can run with the names above, aswel as RV and cairoli will always be in the mix. If he is happy with the bike (an outdoors only deal so plenty of testing time) then he will win a lot of races and be a championship contender in my opinion.

250 outdoors will be fantastic in 2014! the 2 Frenchman and Baggett will do most of the winning- interesting to see if any of the young guns can step it up

how is baggetts wrist? is Wilson 250 outdoors or 450?

I'm glad to see him back out there.....always enjoyed watching him ride.

On another note.....I'm sure ol' GoRide is going to be making some serious love to his CP377 blow up doll....all the way to A1. Look like a dog in heat with that news.

Wilson is 250 outdoor too and should be in the mix for the title.

OMG, jeffro...I all but forgotten about NoRide!! Blink I know you remember all that over on that other board. Really amazing.

He'll be back here, no doubt with a new account and an old attitude.

Stupidest comment on here in a while, guess your such a fantastic talent spotter, that Mitch Payton must have been an idiot to hire him.
He can ride rings around America's best and look so smooth he's out for a trail ride.

Christophe's a genuine threat whatever he ride's!

I dont know how you keyboard thumpers are writing him off so quick? The guy has came back from some serious injuries multiple times to run with big players on both sides of the pond.

Yeah...everybody (including me) has bashed CP for perhaps being a little full of himself in his negotiating a ride in the US a while back. It seems as if a trip back to the GP's and his lack of real success there has mellowed him a bit. Great to see he's hooked up with a team like Valli that has the experience, connections and financing to support him. And, the bike will surely be a good one being factory and all. I'm pretty sure that, unless Baggett is healed 100% and gets his El Chuppacabra mojo back...it'll be a Musquin, Pourcel & Wilson show outdoors for 2014. It ought to be as epic as the 450's!

Dude come on, you said the other guys comment was stupid and then proceeded to say he'll "ride rings around americas best". The dude is a badass on a bike but send me the video when he "rides rings" around RV, RD, JB, TC, etc...

I think this news is rad, would love to see him out there again.
