Drugs, Eli, CP377, MC, Fighting w/ team personnel, helping Honda build a bike using Kawi ideas and publically drinking a Rockstar Energy drink.

I think that's all of it.

Hmm, so many theories. It's a lot to think about.

Imagine a contract with a performance clause?
A company that's decided to reel in this year's expenditures and focus on Next Year w/ New Riders and a New Bike...?

But, I could be wrong.

Just reading between the lines on this one..... I saw Davi's latest instagram photo and the "mom is the boss" theme may have something to do with this entire thing....maybe not....as far as performance goes, my guess is even running where he was, Kawasaki would still go to the remaining races......they have it budgeted and they have the cash...being a MONSTER team, i would think if it was performance based decision, they would pull the plug AFTER supercross.....so there is more to this .....just my thought......

Listening to his interviews this season is a lot more interesting now. Surely all this stuff he is alluding to about things not being right with the team "behind the scenes" must have something to do with this?

I've read through it all. If I've guessed properly, the answer may still be in here, but better check in a hurry!

Far from done. But there's only so much I can do while driving to Santa Clara.

Remember folks, don't edit and drive.

Maybe it was the other way around, what if somebody wasnt cut'n the checks on time? Truth is none of us have any clue what happened.

Its not the NFL, so there are no reporters hanging out at KMC asking questions. There are no panel discussions going on or anyone digging into reasons why. When that kind of void happens both parties should not be suprised at the wild speculation that will occur. Sending out a press release like that is just not smart imo.

I actually agree. Only thing I can figure is neither party will make a statement until legal ramifications are thoroughly considered. It would almost be better to not mention it at all until the air can be cleared. Just my opinion.

Does this mean we'll see Millsaps in MXGP in the very near future?

No, he's used to getting paid and not riding, rather than riding and not getting paid.

Exceptional talent, sorry to hear it anytime something the parties intended to benefit each other doesn't work out.

Yes.

The US now sends all its washed up riders to the B-series to cherry pick titles
