But if you doubt the truth of it, follow a Vet A guy through the woods sometime. Watch as he pulls away while his bike sounds like it's barely running and you're bouncing off trees panic throttled trying to catch him.
Smooth and riding that torque curve...that's what CP does well.
Also, choosing lines that don't blast him into every slap-landing, square edge, and busted rut every lap. I don't know how to judge that with any kind of accuracy, but I'll bet he only takes half the impacts other riders going the same speed do, simply because he has a better line.
Very happy to see him not only be up front, but hold onto it for the full pull.
His ride and TC41's performance made my day.

Quite the story line for this years Unadilla-
Pourcel and Canard throw the final stone to the face of the MX-career Undertaker at Unadilla.
Marzocchi
CP377 just won a National on a factory Yamaha. How much more support can he get?
The picked french riders are doing very well in the MXGPs and they will fight for the podium in MXON.
Surely they know it's the MXdN?
Karma at work
Really hope that after this weekend some teams start taking a serious look at him for 2015 and beyond. Like others have said, his SX skills and style seem to carry over to the 450 nicely....if not the 450, then hopefully he could ride a 250 again next year, but I'm not sure about his eligibility. If nothing else, stay with Yamaha and Kehoe at Valli, well, maybe not with Valli as the title sponsor anymore, word is Lanza doesn't want it....can ya blame him? That's one serious bill I'm sure he's footing!
Pit Row
end of 12 he broke spleen and did take long time getting over it (2013).
regarding pourcel possibly having no ride for next year? that would be a real shame now he is hitting top form. He's been consistently improving all year after a long lay off. He has proven supercross skills and championship pedigree- surely someone will offer him a ride?
I will be gutted if he isnt racing in america next year- love to watch him ride!
also didnt john dowd have a big gap between race wins? maybe larocco? im sure there will be a few more over the years
kevin windham? grant langston?
be interested to see the statistics!
But maybe the situation of the tops 450 teams aren't exactly the same today, they struggle perhaps little bit more to find top pilotes(?).With no RV for the SX season, there will be good places to take.
Also CP learned of some of his errors, in particular with the mess/trap of the offseason 2010/11 (him/his agent at that time/KawaUS team manager). Then he absolutely needs to demonstrate his commitment and capacity with 450 bikes on supercross track, races like MonsterCup and Bercy/Lille would be highly wise. He really needs to ride SX races on whatever 450 bike to demonstrate and finally get a deal (especially as in the past he didn’t really prove something like that and it seem very important for the team managers faith in you).
If Pourcel doesn’t find a team before the winter, maybe he could ride some SXUS with the french team Bud Racing and their Kawasaki .
I like the "New" CP377
