Pourcel to Return to France, for Now


Christophe Pourcel hurt his foot early in the main at Anaheim 2 and pulled out.


He was checked out on site has a fractured bone in his foot, but this is pending another look at a doctor. He also hurt his hand during the week in practice.


So for now, Pourcel is returning home and will need to heal up and start getting ready to defend his MX2 world GP championship.


In a interview about Pourcel Thursday, Mitch Payton said, "He wanted to come over so I said we should do it like we did Pichon. That is bring him over and let him ride a couple supercross races. Let him get the feel for it, fee the stadium. Next year he will come here and he will know our team. He will know the mechanics. It won’t be new to him."


So watch out 2008!
