MotoConcepts Parts ways with Christophe Pourcel

MotoConcepts
Racing is sad to announce the termination of their contractual
agreement with Christophe Pourcel for the 2011 Motocross Series as of
June 13, 2011.

The
decision was made based on Christophe Pourcel not meeting the
contractual demands and obligations to the team and the many sponsors
who supported

him in his effort to compete in the very stacked and competitive 450 class.

Team owner
Mike Genova commented, “It’s a real bummer for everybody involved, our
team, mechanics, DV, myself and all of our very supportive sponsors, to
include FMF, FMF Energy Drink, Yamaha, GYTR,
Oneal, MotoConcepts, Enzo and many others who worked hard to make this
deal happen. Unfortunately Christophe was not able to get where he
needed to be to feel confident and competitive, and for whatever reason,
he was not willing to put in the necessary homework
and effort to get there. It’s too bad, because all of us at
MotoConcepts and our supportive sponsors wanted it to work, and  I am
very sorry and apologetic that it didn’t.”

The team is
regrouped and very committed to doing everything possible to push their
very talented and competitive riders, Tommy Hahn, Kyle Chisholm and
Mariana Balbi to a successful and safe 2011 Motocross
series.
