He needs to lose a factory ride and do it as a privateer to get a reality check. Right now he gets away with "half-assing" it out there and still gets a factory ride. He needs to go to a privateer to relize how good he had it. Then he'll get motivated again.

It is because he is having a lot of marital difficulties & his performance there is lacking as well & his women is out getting some champion rides, if you know what I mean. So yeah, Davis a wreck, I hear he cuts himself these days, to know he can still feel

I think it was said during the race that he has an issue with supplements again or his diet.

Frankly, I was surprised JGR even signed him. I wonder if his contract is performance based?
DM seems like a nice guy, but just seems to be collecting a check these days. But I do want him to do well. I guess we'll find out if he has a good reason this time.

Seeing riders take top notch rides and piss them away is getting old.
At least Brayton seems to be busting his ass.

so I take it he was at PHX but didn't qualify? Never saw him out there or heard his name mentioned.

My bad...just saw him on the results page. Maybe that defines his performance thus far...fans don't even know he is out there.

Not bagging him, he actually done quite well until then, 8th or so I believe. The lad's got it, just gotta get the head right I reckon.

People have been saying that since 2008 now. If he was going to get his head on straight, wouldn't he of done it already?

I seem to remeber Albrecht stating that his back that he jacked before that overseas SX bothered him a lot and kept him from riding and being totally prepared for the start of the season.

I think I've been hearing that about his wife ever since they got married. What's the deal with her? Wasn't it Davi's wife that was a former Miss SX?

Yup....
and marital problems can break a man down. If that's what's really goin down, people should feel sorry for the brother instead of rip on him.

Besides, he's still young... he'll win again one day. So will Lawrence. Just like Hanny.

Davi's wife, Brittney, was with him Saturday in the pits... they were walking back from the riders meeting when I saw them. It didn't look like there was any marital turmoil with their smiles on their faces in Phoenix. Hopefully, they've worked through the issues they may have had.

Good to hear. I wonder if he can break top 10 this weekend, I think he was in 8th at one point in Phoenix but then something happened.

Have to wonder about the wisdom of picking a energy girl model or cheerleader for a supportive mate in life and career.

I sat near the finish jump side, and around lap 14 I saw Millsaps crash pretty hard on the landing of that little step-up curve jump right before the finish jump. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned or shown on TV? What would you expect from SPEED anyways..

Yeah, I heard one of the three commentators comment on some type of issue he is trying to deal with.
