Sucks to hear, but he has been a shell of the rider we saw at MEC. I wonder if another team will pick him up or if he's on the brink of early retirement.

Clearing house for Musquin and Tomac?
Moose Can isn't going there

Just throwing this out there as pure speculation, but is it possible he may have failed a drug test as others have mentioned? Obviously his results this year have not been what he is capable of or wants, and coupled with the illness he has been dealing with maybe he felt the need to get himself back into riding condition quicker than he naturally could. In no way am I insinuating that Millsaps is that type of guy, but pressure can make people do things they would normally never even consider, and maybe he thought a PED would help him get back to where he needed to be. Again, PURE SPECULATION, but a possibility to consider and discuss.

And just to add, I really hope he can sort out whatever his issues have been, whether they are controllable or out of his control, I hate to see someone struggle like he has of late.

Yeah....about that.

Bobby Hewitt is most likely not hiring Davi with 4 other riders on the pay roll and after how everything went down last year

Just a wild guess here....but I think he had something to do with another brand / testing / information , something like that. I don't think it has anything to do with drugs ( prescribed or otherwise ). He did something that pissed Kawi off , and usually that has to do with " doing something with another brand ". Imho of course.

Although his results have been bad by the standards he set in 2013, that can't be why they let him go. I mean they kept Weimer for three years remember.

I wonder if this is millsaps way of getting out of riding the nationals. When was the last time he raced outdoors? I know I can't remember.
2006, his rookie year on the 450 was the last time he completed an entire outdoor series. never understood how DM ever got the rides he did, but i guess in this industry sometimes it's better to be cool and bro down than it is to actually race and be gratefully for your ride...

At this point they are, Tomac is still signed to Honda and has not signed with Kawi.

So until that changes, its all rumors.

This hint confuses me, back to the locker room could suggest NFL reference which would point to JGR.

MC lost money about a couple hundred grand when TW ran a photo of MC running a competing gear too early.

The details are in his podcast. It was all the new back then Mid 90s.
