for valli! Exploring his options... wonder where he lands.
Pourcel also riding a Valli bike today in the "Let's find a ride" game!

worst bike made. no doubt.
I'm glad Vali and Geico has at least given him an offer?
Even so, I don't understand why he doesn't just stay on a Kawi. He's used to them and has probably ridden them the longest, plus I'm just used to seeing him on one.

I though it was more Roger saying they actually could pay him what he asked for but they didn't think he would boost sales for KTM in the US since they felt an American guy like Short with maybe less performance but more appealing persona (for yanks) would be better fitted for the job. Winning is not always the best tactic (look at Honda pics post RC) seems?
It looks like the Kawi's and Suzuki's are full. Maybe he's testing the GEICO Honda to get an idea what the factory Honda is like. I'm sure he doesn't want to be a fill in rider, though.
I know Roger said that but I thought it was more a generalization regarding employing too many non americans rather than specifically regarding Pourcel ?
I like the idea of him and Honda better. It just looks better.
