They didnt want him for mx they found a way out (contract breach)and took it is my opinion. Otherwise why do it with 3 rounds left. But my opinion doesnt matter. What does matter is that they apparently didnt want him. Somebody will pick him up. Not gonna be a rock star contract but hell find a ride he's good. I like davi and wish him well.

Davi Millsaps has confirmed that he was terminated yesterday by Kawasaki Motor Corp.

“Although my results have not been what I had hoped for up to this point, I have continued to give my best effort and have fulfilled all of my contractual obligations. I am aware that there is much speculation regarding my termination. While I am not at liberty to discuss details, I can say without equivocation that I have not violated any AMA or FIM rule or regulation. At this point I am evaluating my options, both professional and legal. I apologize to my fans, sponsors and fellow competitors for the confusion this has caused. I want to especially thank Monster Energy for continuing to stand behind me. I look forward to resolving this and getting back to racing. See you soon."
That's bull crap. I hope someone else gives him a ride. Kawi camp sounds like a nightmare behind the doors!

What is Bullcrap is people who think they would fire a guy without good cause.

Something bad happened, Stamp it.

DM18 has the talent to be top 2 or 3 every weekend. He lacks 3 things.
1). Commitment.
2). Conditioning.
3). Heart.

But it can't be anything too bad, because Monster is still behind him.

6 months minimum before the truth comes out. Davi has always played his cards very close to his chest. Sounds like the lawyers will be busy for a while too.

He drove past the practice track pulling his boat on the way to Havasu and yelled "Fine Me"

They thought he said "Fire Me"

Now watch all the clueless dumbasses jump to more conclusions.

After reading the statement, I'm starting to think Team Green's comment about a possible "performance clause" may have some truth to it. Also, he hasn't had too many nice things to say about the team in interviews, wonder if there's anything in the contract about that?
I can see this also.

After never getting on that KTM they could have made it very hard for him to do the same on the Kawi along with HAVING to preform to keep his contract.

We may never know though.

The dude has 1 kidney, a surgically-shortened leg, often races injured, and is the lightest weight he's been in years...I'd say 1-3 he has checked off.

What an ignorant comment. Davi is a guy who has given his life to the sport. He has been going at it for 20+ years already. He was racing amature races and pushed beyond anyone else at his age. His expectations have always been to win. His parents split, he severed ties with his mother. Lost a kidney, has a dead persons acl maybe bones, had a horrible injury where his bones wouldn't even heal.

Most recently, the guy came off the couch, at his fittest/lightest weight in years, and won the overall at MEC. Yes I know Stewart, RV and Roczen weren't there. But guess what, Dungey was...you know that guy who just won the 2015 SX Championship and has straight up beat everyone of top riders at their best. This guy has been tearing shit up since he was a kid.

If you look at RV or Weimer from last year, you'll how miserable they were. There is something wrong at Factory Kawi. Anyhow, they are no longer after next year. Mitch is going to take on the 450 team. As of right now it looks like Wilbur and Tomac will be there. I wouldn't be surprised if Reed became more involved in PC as well.

If I had to guess, Davi will be back on a Suzuki at some point. Perhaps some factory support with monster backing.

So what part of Davi's career lacks Comittment, Conditioning, or Heart after all that. I can't stand how disrespectful some people are. I would expect it from some punk. Not a guy who is +40.

So that is what you are saying happened? Davi lied about his weight during a suspension test?

Heart is such a vague word.

"His heart told him to go to war."

I'm suspicious of anyone that says "heart" is a good thing. It's a synonym for faith, which means "belief in something that you don't have any evidence for."


"Believe that you won't get hurt....even though you've gotten hurt before."

To me, there is no tangible property that you can place between riders. There might be actual reasons why certain riders win, while others do not.....heart isn't one of them.

The heart pumps blood. That is what it does. It doesn't think, it doesn't desire, it doesn't win. That is the brain. The fucking brain.

The problem here is that the people on vital think they have #1 priority about everything going on, and anything personal that's unsaid should be released, come on guys, we may never know and if we do, cool, but let them figure it out and hope Davi is back out there soon.
Well you know everyone in the pits knows and is talking about it so why can't the core fans (us) know I mean their closest competitors (the enemy) all get to know what difference does it make if we know?
