You know Im not starting this thread to bash him but really? 8th last weekend and 9th this weekend.....what about all that talk of him being "ready" the bike is great blah blah....IM sure Honda is stoked to have signed him over Tedesco. I said it before when he had an interview on one of the moto sites that he would ride about as well as he did last year.

I guess im just really disappionted in the kid he has the talent to WIN and seems not so concerned with it at all.

Just my 2 cents

Honda has not signed him over Tedesco, you people need to stop comparing the 2 and always going back to "Honda shoudda, woudda!".
Different contracts, different contract years.

2 SX out of 17 rounds
1 Heat win
6th fastest time this weekend, maybe it's too early to judge, maybe it's not, By mid-season he'll show us.

Why is everyone suprised? He has been 4th to 10th place his entire 450 career. Great kid but Short beats him every week becuase he works harder during the week.

Davi Milsaps is terrible and doesn't deserve a factory ride.

Honda signed him to a year contract for this year

and yes offspring I really don't think he deserves a ride either.....of course he'll turn it on at the end of the year and yet another team will sign him for the same or worse results.

Yes I know we're only 2 races in but I'd be willing to bet anything this year will be no different than his last few and it's obvious SHort has the heart to try and win at least Davi can't blame the bike this year because he went on record saying the bike is MUCH better this year he just doesn't seem to be riding like he should with the level of a team he is on.

BS.... He was hauling on the 08 Honda, it is the shity squat 09-10 bike that doesn't agree with him... In matter of fact, Look at IT now... And has anyone looked great on the new honda???

What I don't understand is why don't they stick that new engine in an 08 frame... MC ran the 93 frame all the way to 96... They can't do it for Davi... I don't think anyone would notice and his results would pick up too, guaranteed...

How many guys have actually won 450 supercrosses since '07? 5 or 6? Millsaps has won two, if I remember right. That's pretty good.

Sorry but I am tired of all of the bullshit blame the bike excuses that factory riders use to justify poor results.

Davy just needs to man up and ride the bike.

I said something a while ago on the Davi post from the Matthes post, and I said Davi was at his best on the 08 bike, and everyone gave me shit for it.....

Just saying I was right, and someone does agree with me

And it's a blessing that IT didnt get resigned, he's better off now

He signed a two-year-deal last year.

I am glad you understand all this racing stuff.

The gates are full of spodes at a supercross.
