Pourcel to race AMA Motocross
By Team TMX on 8th May 14
There will be another Yamaha team in the paddock come the opening round of the AMA Motocross Nationals.
The Valli Motorsports team have put a team together with the sole intention of bringing home the AMA 250 Motocross National title to Yamaha using the award winning 2014 YZ250F.
Their front runner will be 2006 World MX2 Champion, Christophe Pourcel.
Pourcel came to the United States in 2009, and in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons, Christophe won the 250 East Supercross Championship, but finished a disappointing second overall in the 250 AMA Nationals despite being one of the most dominant riders in the class
"When I came to America I had one goal and that was to win the AMA 250 Motocross National title. I came so close, but never realized my goal. That fire still burns, and the minute I had the opportunity to make another run at the title, on a bike as good as the 2014 YZ250F, I jumped at it”, said Christophe Pourcel.
The Valli Motorsports Yamaha and Christophe Pourcel begin their assault on the AMA 250 Motocross National Championship at Glen Helen on May 24.
