Ken Roczen...... try not to get hurt this week buddy. We all know you're crazy and riding out of your mind on the track, but as long as you don't hurt anyone else it's fun to watch! I think maybe Roczen might bring it down a few notches after the Phoenix crashes, DeCoster should have been all up in his face. If Roczen wants to continue racing Supercross he'll have to keep it on 2 wheels. I'm excited to find out! mxsxplanet.com
What's going on with Christophe Pourcels ? I really wanted to see him in the mix in 450s. I don't see anyone talking about his absence. What gives ?
@Dan Christophe pourcel is a douche and wouldnt accept any offers from teams because he wanted more money than they offered.
@Dan check this out: http://www.racerxonline.com/2010/12/30/chris-pourcel-news-no-sx-looking-ahead-to-summer
MAn its to bad weimer got hurt. He woulda just added to the already deep 450 class
Roczen could step it down a notch and still go to the front. I'm not sure why that lil' dude cant get a holeshot. I"m still claiming if He does holeshot,,, He's ga ga ga gone from hanny! Ken needs a clear track and he'll put it down!
Wasn't Jake Moss supposed to be Weimer's replacement? He didn't even make it to the States in one piece. Now who gets to ride the factory Kawi?
Pourcel is coming back for outdoors - his shoulder is hurt still. If youre gonna be a douche, Spicoli, change your name, dip!
Oh Pourcel is such a douche. Lol so funny the ignorance. Pretty sure it was on this very website that there was an article on pourcel for 2011. Not that it matters because haters always going to be haters. But from what i read it was more too do with the equipment than money. I must admit if I could ride as good as him I wouldn't want 2nd rate equipment?? I just hope ur ignorance isn't based on nationality. It is pretty sad the amount of hate riders from countries other than USA get. As for Roczen. He is 16 all the greats did this in their first season of supercross. Some of my favorite races are RC JS TP199 first seasons.
Pourcel cant hang with any of the top 5 450 guys and then he would blame it on his shoulder being hurt, hasent that thing been hurt since he cam to the states? If you actualy read his interview he said "I know how hard i work and what i am worth" that sounds like he wanted more money to me. Go RV2 keeps putin it down for the North west!
Good to see Grant will be back soon, that was some messed up shit on Jeff Alessi's part!
Roczen will be awesome when he finally keeps it together for a full night of racing. But man, he REALLY needs to calm down. He has been lucky so far that he has escaped without serious injury. But if he keeps up with the "win it or bin it" attitude, the odds may catch up with him. Don't get me wrong - I HOPE he stays in one piece, but he's pushing his luck pretty hard...
WEIMER instead of C.P. huh,metcalf instead of C.P.,how about josh grant over C.P.?????WHY....C.P woulld bury them all....I.M.O HE,HE,HE.......
i really dont think pourcel has anything for the top 450 riders now anyways. and besides, he acts like hes a national champion. he won a sx regional series, whoop-te-do.. p.s. i hope JS buries the opposition tonight
WOW! Pretty harsh on C.P. He is a great rider that had a MAJOR injury and came back to win a lights SX title. Not sure if any of you slamming him have actually raced but I would be willing to bet he could lap any of you in 3 laps on any track.
The guy is flat out fast ( I don't care for his personality either but man can he fly on a bike) When I see your name slot001 on the results list for a "whoop-te-do SX regional" I will start taking you seriously.
