looks like hes on cruise control for most of the race and then turns on the turbo when he needs to. The young lads are giving it there all barcia and stroupe but pourcel is bit too much for them. I see pourcel going undefeated this sx season.
Did you watch the race last night ?
Did you see him on the podium ?
Cruise control was NOT working last night.
And, in his podium interview, it was very clear that this was a very shaken up, sweaty,
disheveled and unnerved Christophe Pourcel that just realized that as talented as
he is - Wilson, Barcia and Stroupe - can ride a motorcycle FAST, too.
And hey, I'm cheering for Pourcel, but get real, Mohammed.
The Shop
And yes, he is pissed by JB's riding.
I guess I saw a different race. I saw an incredibly talented rider that normally
checks out - struggling to maintain a solid footing up front and, for a while there,
it looked like Metcalfe or whoever it was - might even put him back to fifth - with a few laps
left. Everybody up front was hanging it out and everybody was making little
mistakes here and there, so the reality is, that I'm not confident that Pourcel was
confident when he was fighting off Barcia and crowd, I think he was in panic mode
with the other riders able to get deep inside his helmet. I think he was fortunate that
things played out like they did and, his erratic behavior on the podium reflected that
he was truly shaken up by the upstart challengers.
Or JB and the guys will be there every week from now on, or a big big snoozer.
I think it will be the latter.
Barcia was behind Pourcel, caught up to him and was about to pass him on the outside to the quad jump when Pourcel cut in front of him. Im not really a fan of the way Barcia hits everyone, but the way Pourcel kept trying to take him out, I was hoping Barcia would park him. Had Stroupe not fallen, Pourcel would have only gotten 3rd.
He definitely had to work for this one, and had a bit of luck fall his way, as in bad luck for Stroupe and BBB. Whether their bad luck was rider error or not is irrelevant.
Oh and BTW, Pourcell said he doesn't like to ride like that but when he was he was DAMN good at it. "Sneaky French Guy".
Pit Row
For Metty and Clark it is!
Oh, and mohammed, maybe you forgot of the hit that Pourcel did to Barcia on the first lap? I'd imagine you did. Otherwise you wouldn't say something so stupid. 'Course I don't see the Americans here crying about it. Bumping is racing. Don't try to pussify our sport. If you want to pussify MX, go pick on your "World Championship" series of the FIM.
And maybe you forgot how Stroupe and Barcia both caught up to Pourcel. Stroupe passed Pourcel first on lap 6, then Pourcel started rubber-necking like Vuilleman used to. And, when Barcia first passed Pourcel clean after the finish line jump, it was Pourcel who intenionally pushed Barcia wide, kept fucking around with Barcia, and let Stroupe get away.
Looks more to me like Pourcel might be the dirty rider. No surprise. Seems the Frenchies breed jerks...Sorby being a prime example of that.

It was a gift last night...period...
I really thought he would also be unstoppable.. but after last night..I've changed my mind. I still think he'll win the championship, but it won't be without some losses.
