Tiens, pour ceux qui trouvent qu’il n’y a ici que des insiders en carton, notre ami Rangot a reposté sur Vital quelques pensées de Steve Matthes à propos de notre sujet préféré… Ca vous ira, Matthes, comme insider?
C’est marrant, la tonalité générale me rappelle vaguement quelque chose…
"there was an interview with Pourcel on Racer X (courtesy of LeBig.com) and I wanted to comment on it. The guy continues to be a mystery wrapped in a riddle and no one can really believe what he says. When I was at the MXDN, I asked around and yep, he’s as weird as ever over there like he was here. The last three-four races, he never spoke to his team. He would get off the bike, go into the truck, skip the parade lap and show up right before he had to go to the line fully dressed. And then repeat over and over. Once he realized he couldn’t win the MX1 title, the little effort that he did give went away according to those close on the team. He says he doesn’t want to go back and race the World Championships but that’s because there’s no one in the pits who wants him. He says his bike wasn’t good enough but he’s the one that went with the stock set-up. His reunion with his old team that was supposed to work didn’t and the relationships there were fractured. And the lack of effort with people on the team and the media was noticed by everyone over there.
So of course he wants to come back here but after wanting 750K and up to race a 450 and having no one interested, he seems to have been resigned to his fate. He’s like an emo 19-year old goth kid who can’t seem to figure out what he wants to do and blames the world for his problems. People in Europe figure that he’s not happy racing motorcycles but he has to because it’s a way to make money- which is the only thing he seems to care about. If he does come back, maybe it’s with Mitch Payton (the one guy that seems to be have earned CP’s respect) and we’ll see how he does. Once again, the guy’s just a different dude."
