In my supremely expert opinion, Davi is gonna have a good year. He is laughing and joking and clowning around on those JGR videos. Looks like he is happy and having fun. The guy is one of the most talented dudes out there but always seems a bit of a head case (no offense to DM). I predict he is gonna be on rails this season.

Plus, we have all seen countless other guys step their game up when their current team hires someone even better than they are. I fully expect that riding and practicing alongside JS all the time is gonna boost his speed even more. It's gonna be fun to watch. I just hope he stays off the flippin ground and gets through lame ass A1 injury-free.

JGR is the best team in motocross/supercross. Fact.

False on JGR being the BEST team in motocross/supercross, but they are ONE of the best.

I disagree. They have Joe Gibbs!!! That alone is worthy of making them the best, throw in their NASCAR team resources which enable them to make just about anything they want from scratch and voila, best team. All done in-house.

The only way they could be better would be if they gave ME some support.

In SX, I think RV and Weimer is also a good pair. And Canard and Brayton as well. Who is better remains to be seen, but I reckon we will begin to find out in about a month.

Exactly! And there has been countless other examples dating back to pre-historic times.

I was not referring to the talent level of the riders on the TEAM but the team itself. JGR could have Elmer Fudd and ME racing for them and they would still be the best team.

They are looking relaxed and ready to shake things up. Liking that team more and more each year. Davi looked real relaxed in that video. Good to see from his unlucky past recently.

I would argue that not having the pressure of being the number one guy on the team will have as big of an effect (if not more) on Davi than riding with James. He should do really well this year.

Excellent point. I agree with you 100%.

Ya think the fact that if he didnt place high he didnt get paid might have been important too?

I agree that they are a great team, but to say that the talent is not an important aspect of a great team seems somewhat lacking. Surely being the best team involves having the best all around package.

Touche. I was being sarcastic, but point duly noted.

davy has 9 lives. this is his last one. he wont be able to go the nik wey route cause he aint popular enough. seems like anyone who has won a sx will keep getting rides no matter what. the guy has had more excuses then carter has pills. never new what the carter reference meant but i thru it in there anyway.

Davi look's very light! Hopefully he can have a great year. He's one of those guys l'd put in the group that has the talent and speed to win but for some reason not consistently up there. I'd put him, Grant, and even Hill up there although Hill usually is consistent and Windham to any of those guys can win on a given night but never do it consistently!

If Elmer caught that wascily wabbit before A1 then I'd say he'd be pretty confident in shooting for a podium.

Davi rocks.

Milsaps will never win a championship. He never could before his injuries, and never will now, no matter who he races for. His mother is the champion, making a fortune, "training " kids that will go no where. He's been passed up by the younger riders. If his name wasn't Milsaps, he would be a privateer trying to get sponsors. Good rider, but a disappointment, considering his background. Even a miracle wouldn't get him top 3.

If you actually look at all of the 450 teams out there, JGR is technically the best. I think they are the only team to have 2 riders that have won 450 SX races, and championships, albeit, DM's is on the Lites bike. But by virtue of actual results they would be classified as the best.

That would actually be an interesting topic. To rank the teams both in SX and Lites class based on the riders they currently employ and what results they have had. Base everything off of their current class they are racing and assign points based off of each top 5 finish in that class. This would take a bit of work, and more so in the SX class.

Example, Reed and KW even though they are only single rider 450 teams, they have each been around long enough to earn a bunch of points. Off the top of my head Reed might have this one in the bag.

Anyone want to take a shot at it?

I would say Factory KTM are the best team, they have Cairoli, Herlings, Nagl, Van Horebeck, Tixier, Dungey, Roczen and Musquin.

Plus Stefan Everts, Pit Beirer and Roger Decoster running the teams.

You just don't get better than that. And because they aren't Japanese they can make everything in house too.

As for Millsaps, I hope he has a great yar, he is so talented. I am just not sure he has the self confidence and total focus needed to be a title contender.

I hope he has a great season but I bet at A1 when he finishes 8-14 range and you all start bagging on him.

I know people can change, but Millsaps had the benefit of working with Carmichael and Decoster and it sure seemed that both made comments about his lack of effort and such. He's definitely got the talent and skill to run with most everyone on the track "sometimes", but can he put forth that effort nearly every single week for about 9 months? History sort of says otherwise.

I sure hope he proves history wrong this year, he definitely seems like a nice enough kid who might have been better off coming into the pro ranks as more of an unknown instead of trying to live up to the expectations of "Next Big Thing".
