Hoy ha salido la noticia. Christophe Pourcel y Sebastien Pourcel vuelven a estar juntos en un equipo, el Kawasaki CLS. Ambos se subiran a una MX1 para intentar arrebatarle el título a Antonio Cairoli.
During their two year association with the legendary companies Monster Energy and Pro Circuit, Kawasaki Team CLS has enjoyed great success in the highly competitive MX2 class with numerous GP wins and two medal placings with Steven Frossard (2010) and Tommy Searle (2011). Entering the MX1 category for the first time this season, the team was extremely unlucky as injuries sidelined Ben Townley, but Christophe Pourcel was the revelation of the series after joining the team mid-summer. A loyal Kawasaki rider throughout his career, winning both World MX2 and US SX titles on Kawasaki, Christophe proved with moto victories at each of the last three GPs that he is right back on his best form after just a few races in the class and a genuine candidate for more honours with Kawasaki in 2012.
Even though he has not discounted a return at some time during his career to racing in the USA, where he won two supercross titles for Kawasaki, Christophe has chosen to contest the FIM World MX1 Championship with Kawasaki Team CLS next season. In their short time together they have already achieved a string of successes, and Christophe knows that all of the ingredients are there to get the best results. Under the guidance of Yann Lozano, who will be the MX1 team manager, Christophe will lead the CLS assault in MX1 and will be joined by his brother Sébastien who has now recovered from a pre-season back injury. Sébastien, who has won several GPs for Kawasaki in the MX1 class, returned to the saddle of a motocross bike just a few weeks ago, and immediately had a great feeling on the KX450F to confirm the opinion of his doctors that he is once again ready to ride. Sébastien, racing alongside his brother for the first time since 2007, now has the entire winter to rebuild after his long break from racing, and he is already mentally prepared for the challenge which he will face.
Me alegro mucho por los Hermanos Pourcel de que esten juntos en el mismo equipo de nuevo y si hay alguien capaz de arrebatarle el titulo a el italiano es CP377.
Por cierto que harà ahora Roger Pourcel? volverà de nuevo a Kawasaki ahora que estan sus hijos alli tb?
Dios que buena noticia!! Espero que estén fuertísimos... pero Cairoli va a volver a ganar el mundial jaja
Gran noticia!! Me alegro por Chris para quedarse este año en Europa y Seb pueda volver a competir. Al principio de la lesion de Seb, esta desanimado, pensaba mucho en el accidente y en recuperarse, se penso el volver a competir en motocross. Pero me alegro que vuelva, si tiene la espalda bien y pueda llegar al maximo nivel. Debera entrenar duro Seb, espero que su regreso sea como el de Chris despues de su lesion de columna tambien, y nada menos que en un equipazo como CLS Kawasaki Procircuit. Muchos deberes tienen los dos para ser los mejores del MX1, donde hay mucho nivel.
Pongo fotos del corsé de Seb, donde lo llevo un tiempo y cuesta recuperarse despues de quitartelo.
Oportunidades no les faltan de tener buenos equipos y motos.
