Good to see him back, glad to see this happen whether it's his or the teams decision.
this could be good or......
Pit Row
It's sad; because, some of you are just F'ing stupid...or worse...
1. Davi ain't getting paid. He gets paid when he produces. PERIOD.
2. I, too, was one of those that was "put out" by his no-show during '13.5-14; however, I've recently learned just how bad his physical state was at that time...pain and infections...secondary surgeries where none was planned...then the broken foot as soon as he got on the KTM...etc., etc., etc. I was personally invested in this; because, I was part of the "brain-trust" that was adamant about choosing him over the other rider... or two ...that were being considered back in the Summer of 2012. During the 2013 SX season I felt like a genius! After that...not so much...& I, too, was getting annoyed.
3. Then the Kawaaki drama and the fact that he rode thru a back injury that only made his '15 SX Season worse...much worse than if he'd taken 2-3 races off...But! He was already VERY AWARE of his rep as DAVI-NO-SHOW. So, he kept riding...& we know how that went...
4. Now? If the guy doesn't race, ASS HOLES talk shit!
5. Now? If the guy DOES race, ASS HOLES talk shit!
6. He's currently on a Team where he wears all the Team's brands (the Team's sponsors/NOT his) and doesn't get paid squat UNLESS HE GETS RESULTS! He jokes that he's "Volunteering". I tell him, "Get it right! You're 'Investing' in yourself & that's going to make all the difference...when you realize it for yourself!"
7. He IS NOT OBLIGATED TO RACE BEFORE THE MONSTER CUP.
8. The upside: if I'm reading him correctly...he's doing this race with purpose and intent. He's going to show his cards. He WAS getting fully focused on Supercross. He WAS setting his sights on the MEC. Funny thing, though: now that he's healed, now that he feels "nothing is in his way", now that he's with a Team and Management that says, "What do YOU need? Which fork do YOU prefer? What setting is working best for YOU?" Now that he has all that? He's got a very "Let's Do This!" mind-set.
9. Forrest and Roger aren't stupid.
10. Stop being a bunch of Ass Holes (the Nay-Sayers and Shit-Talkers amongst you) & find some positive thoughts on the subject.
Me? I want ALL of our boys to kick ass at Glen Helen. Deano, Christophe, Marvin...etc. They, too, are "our boys"...to me.
Don't be surprised if he decides not to pay the extra $10 to get his gear shipped second day air though.
Because when was the last time they had 38 riders on the gate for a GP?!?
colors on the Trans World video saying he could not ride unless they paid him . I'm not a fan of the guys who are to lazy or to good to get in a Van and go on there own dime.
Good luck to him at the GP but he is being paid by BTO now go get it.
Hope Davi makes BTO...and HIMSELF happy with the choice.
