I'm glad he's back and he's happy–but saying it changes the 14 bike rumours is a bit silly–those two bikes are orange and have WP boingers. That's about it for commonalities.

That was part of the reason I posted it. I just thought the the comment showed where his head is at.

That's gotta be some sort of record # of teams / # of races completed ratio. Since leaving Suzuki, and after this year's MEC, he will have "raced" for 4 different teams and completed 14 races.

Oh well, glad to see him land on a solid ride and good for BTO. I really hope he can be healthy next year and put in some good rides.

I have to say , when I got home an hour ago , saw GuyB made this thread and what it was about , I said " What the hell?"

I did not see that coming. But I will say , that I hope Davi puts in 100% effort into this. BTO ( to me ) is taking a chance on this guy. I see Davi as being super talented , but lazy as hell. He always has been. I hope he proves me wrong!

yup,

Musquin, Dunge, Wilson, Short, Millsaps, and brayton
Plus Anderson Husky = 7. Who else to make 8+? Zach moving up? Pourcel? Someone else? Do tell.

Wild to think they they may have close to half the field in a main. Good luck to the privateers @ A1.

I doubt Davi had many options, he would jump at just about anything... I'd speculate this is probably his last chance with a good team / equipment.

But, the guy has shown he has a ton of potential when he's on equipment that works for him. Bringing up the 2014 shit is just an attempt to drag him through the mud. Everyone knows the current KTM is not the same machine he was contracted to before. It's pointless whether he liked or hated the old bike. I hope it works out for him, 2016 can be a great year with him & Stewart back in the mix.

Interesting. Strong move again by KTM/Husky. Millsaps on his day can run with anyone, like all the riders signed by this group, and the new bike may be the best on the grid. The push is amazing in only like what, 5 years ? The Man, Factory KTM, TLD, BTO, Husky, that is a LOT of riders that can be in the top 5-10. Imagine Daytona: Tomac & Stewart, ok, but then Dungey, Barcia, Millsaps, Reed, Musquin, Canard, CP, Baggett, Anderson, Wilson, Peick, Short, Seely, Hahn, Nicoletti, Brayton, Grant. I mean they have 8 riders out of 19 (sorry for the order or if I miss someone) that can go for a podium or at least a win in a heat ! For me now that is like American Honda in the 80's. If they manage to build a programme like team green, and they will do it since their 65 and 85 are the best mini bikes, then a sign with PC on Husky who also needs to attract the best talents to win would definitely be the strongest move in MX in years.

After sleeping, I saw I forgot RCH, add Roczen and Tickle, then possibly Noren or Weimer, and you get the main event. Indeed not a lot of room for privateers until injuries start to deplete the field by 30% ...

I'm more surprised he got a factory backed team rather than him riding a ktm after all what happend with kawi. i know he wants to go out and win just to give a little something back to kawi but it's gonna be hard to beat there top rider ones he is 100%.

Hope this goes well even if the past indicates it likely won't. The more guys challenging for wins the better.
