One option...Monster Yamaha. His own deal.
I'm at Levi and overheard some shit.
Maybe even a Monster Yamaha JGR satellite team, they do have some spare bikes, he should be good for 6 - 10th overall at the end of a season, easily.

He's contracted to ride here. I doubt leading edge would just let him go. Back on topic.

it seems odd that he's still a Monster rider but Kawi dropped him. Anyone think this may be the beginning of the end for Monster and Kawi? I know Monster brought on Barcia and a couple others this year that are on competing brands and I thought that odd at the time too. I have no clue just throwing it out there to see if anyone else has thought about it

Someone will have to say what happened, Kawasaki doesn't just suddenly let people go for no reason.

I never said I knew. However, I do know there is 99.9% probability that none one on VitalMX.com knows what happened. Are you shitting on him? If so, why? Do you know him? Do you know what happened? Or you one of the fellas who projects their bullshit celebrities and athletes?

He needs to step outside of he box and start his own team. Just as Reed did.

The only difference is, Davi has burnt a lot of bridges and he doesn't have a lot of options.

You know why people guess ? Because nobody in the Sport will ever stand up and just say what happened, it's a message board for Fans , what else is there to do ? talk about Miley Cirus ?

Chad was also a lot more successful before going on his own.

I wish him luck, but I think it'll be near impossible to get on factory level equipment. He was fired for a reason. Anyone thinking about helping him will know exactly what happened.

Rock on with your cock out. You are usually sensible......

We can talk moto without gossip, lies, and shitting on riders. What are you speculating?

And DM18 nor Monster Energy Kawasaki own none of us an explanation. If they do, its their business.

You realize who pays the bills by buying these products, buying tickets, building tracks for them to ride on etc etc etc right?

The NFL, NBA, MLB learned a long time ago that to grow the sport they needed to release information concerning contracts, injuries, and such. This sport not so much.

EXACTLY!!! Lets ponder this for a second......WHO could he even ridfe for at this point after burning bridges?

Kawi (any other team?) - NOOOOOOOOO
KTM/Husky - NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yamaha - MaYbe I dont know if he burned them or not with JGR - Possible but unlikely
Suzuki - Sure IF he could find a team/bike to ride.
Honda - Nope

Doesnt look to me like he has more than 1 solid legitimate option, I dont think he will be riding outdoors myself.

You got that right Jay. Just make a announcement like any other sport would do and then you don't have all the false (or true) rumors flying around.

And the whole lawyer speak is bullshit. You think a company like Kawasaki would shit can him for no reason and risk a lawsuit you are crazy.

Any for all you holier than thou asskissers, get over yourselves. No matter how much you kiss a riders ass on a forum they are not inviting you over for the next BBQ, ball licking and ass polishing. If you little suck ups did not want to read the dirt then you would not have clicked on the post

I like Davi but he would be a 10th - 15th place guy.

I was surprised Kawi hired him but I believe that was the last ride that will be handed to him based on his "could be". The RCH posts make no sense to me. RCH has the future(94), they also have a 2nd rider who seems to be on the upswing again after a couple lackluster years. Plus they're Suzuki, I may be wrong but I don't think there are a whole lot of warm and fuzzies from the guys in the yellow shirts. Not saying he can't be relevant but I think he's going to have to do it ala Reed, I don't think he's starting from the same level there though.

Teams have lawsuits before for wrongful terminations and if it goes to arbitration or civil court it wouldn't surprise me if Millsaps gets at least part of the money owed to him in the contract.

Im guessing he wont find a ride for the outdoors, but will be at A1 on a second tier team. Im guessing what kind of a ride he gets will depend on why he got terminated. All the insiders will know if they dont already.

Why? this is a business, he's not asking a girl to the prom, and got turned down. He races motorcycles for a business, not a hobby.

Not shitting on him or defending him like you, why would you defend him if you dont know why he got terminated. Pretty sure kawy knows what they are doing .

That always irked me. No matter how poor, a shitty maier front fender only cost about $15 back in the 80's lol. Bad form.
