Saps has started the season consistently what 8th? Time to pick it up if he can.

He will be on L&M as a backup rider for Stewart next year SX only. Hill will stay or assume the lead on another team?

Team Honda is in a slump and needs to pick some new draft picks.

I think L&M's 2nd spot is for way less pay and is for support of the #1 rider on the team. That's about where Millsaps would fit in.

Hill may be up for a pay raise if he keeps this up.

You're right, Canard seems to have more upside than the vet Millsaps at what 22 years of age.

I'm thinking maybe Hill could stay put at L&M in a program that really seems to be working with a reasonable increase in pay or a great bonus structure for '11. If he can even prove to himself and the industry that he's had a solid year plus of being being a top 4-5 guy he could be in a good position for 2012 when, hopefully, the economic climate is better.

I'd like to see him run MX somehow. Maybe Yamaha could arrange something for him for the outdoors.

Millsaps just seems to be burned out, which is understandable. I'd love to see him ride up to his talent, but the mental and emotional aspect is very real.

They hopefully keep Short because you can see it on the track that he is trying and not fading. Milsaps is a waste of money. Another year wasted. He obviously has the speed to win but his lack of desire is sickening. How many more personal problems can he have to use as an excuse not to win? Does he even like to ride? In the recent podcasts and interviews I have never heard someone so bummed out in my life. What could be so bad in his life? I am over this guy.

He will be on L&M as a backup rider for Stewart next year SX only. Hill will stay or assume the lead on another team?

I too would like to know why any team would pick Davi over another rider? Hill looks really good.

Honda needs to clean the garage out. Everything must go!!!! Team manager included. The guys in charge of the team are as much to fault for Honda's shitty results as there riders.

You never know. Hill could be the number one guy for L&M next yr. With everyone cutting back the money need to keep a James Stewart might not be there next yr.
