"Whoever writes the press releases for Team CLS Kawasaki in Europe deserves a raise. It’s been a rough season for their 450 rider, Ben Townley, which has led to countless “Ben Townley to sit out this weekend” PRs from the team, all written in a positive manner and showing that the team still has BT’s back. Now it’s time to throw Christophe Pourcel’s name into the spin machine, as they just announced he’s sitting out this weekend’s GP in Latvia. The PR even referenced Townley missing time earlier in the year, which is what put the team behind in 450 testing, which is what led to Pourcel not being able to race this weekend. That’s not banging on a keyboard you hear, it’s the PR person banging their head against the wall.
Of course, I could say that Pourcel pulling out of motos in a warm-up race last weekend and choosing not to race this weekend is part of a problem with the rider, not the team or bike, but how can I argue with a press release?"
