Christophe Pourcel a annonc\u00e9 aujourd’hui qu’il mettait un terme \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re sportive. Champion du monde MX2, double champion SX Lites aux USA, le Fran\u00e7ais a roul\u00e9 cette ann\u00e9e pour Husqvarna au Canada. A 29 ans, Pourcel a remport\u00e9 6 GP, 11 \u00e9preuves SX AMA et 6 \u00e9preuves outdoor. Victime d’une tr\u00e8s lourde blessure en 2007, il \u00e9tait devenu la saison pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente champion du monde MX2 au guidon d’une Kawasaki KX-F du team GEPA du Li\u00e9geois Patrick Gelad\u00e9. Avant de rouler notamment pour Kawasaki Pro Circuit aux USA ou, plus r\u00e9cemment, pour le team officiel Husqvarna Rockstar Energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Critiqu\u00e9 par certains, adul\u00e9s par les autres, le style de Christophe Pourcel n’a laiss\u00e9 personne indiff\u00e9rent. Son talent, son instinct, son sens inn\u00e9 du pilotage en font un des pilotes les plus rapides que le motocross ait connus.<\/p>\n

Well, today is the day, I am pleased to announce my retirement from racing. It\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever known, but I have been so blessed and fortunate to race all around the world in front of many fans and to work with many great companies. From racing GP\u2019s, winning a world championship, then coming to America, two super cross championships, winning races… and now finding a new life here in the states, racing has given me so much. Those good times don\u2019t come without tough times, from my paralyzing accident in 2007, internal injuries, countless collar bones, to my most recent neck fractures… I\u2019ve had my fair share of injuries but I\u2019m happy to walk away happy and healthy. I\u2019m looking forward to the next chapter of my life away from racing. I\u2019ve sacrificed so much in life, things that are normal for most people, to dedicate my life to racing and training. I want to enjoy this time now with my wife, family, and friends and to say THANK YOU to all the great people and companies that have supported me throughout my career and to the fans who have enjoyed watching me race. It\u2019s been a tough decision, I know I can still be competitive but my body has said enough with the injuries!! I\u2019m 29 and have so much more life to live. Again thank you all and see you around!! ?????<\/a><\/p>\n
