According to reports looks like ferris is headed to the US and aboard a Yamaha while a deal is yet to be announced or officially done Rumour has it that it is almost sorted. Could he possibly be lined up along side Webb for outdoors?

That split season with Davi Run-of-the-Mill-Saps sounds like a good deal for both. They need him. No one else better for outdoors available I reckon. Putting all their eggs in the Webb basket surely didn't pay off that's fir sure

I hope I'm not speaking out of school but last I heard from someone who heard from someone Milsaps has brought a sponsor to Yamaha that wants him to race outdoors.. So look to another Yamaha team that rhymes with Spock Spiver 250 sx 450 mx
why am I reading this? ..... Oh christ, now I'm posting...... shiiiiiiiit!!

Dude, what are you talking about? When Millsaps is healthy, he's fast! Hopefully he's healthy in 2018.

The 111 would be a great addition outdoors. SX always takes some time. Although the aussies and frenchies have a way of adapting...

Seriously. Run of the mill saps? Really? Aside from his throwaway year on Kawi he's always been a top guy. podium threat at worst. Millsaps deserves every ride he's ever had.

Agreed he can ride very well when the stars align like at Rockstar Suzuki, but overall he hasn't delivered what he should have. How bout that great year on the KTM? Or on the Suzuki? still waiting for parts? JGR? Never really delivered for Honda also.
BTW, I didn't coin that name, so others must feel the same. He's been disapointing in general.

Dude he won a 250 title for Honda. That's the definition of delivery. Plus he's podiumed in the 450 CHAMPIONSHIP multiple times. That's not disappointing that's raw talent and performance. Sure he hasn't gotten the same hype other riders have gotten but the man is a top guy.

There can only be one winner. He has been a winner, and a podium threat.....you can't really get better without being a champ. He has won a regional championship and been at the front in the big class. He has delivered.

Amazing how a topic about ferris turns into Millsaps and whether he delivered or not.
its a shame that the aus series cant be run earlier to allow riders to do mx only in both aus and usa like they can in sx. Hopefully he gets a good ride and can chase the dream.
There are two kinds of people against dirt bikes, those who never tried and those who weren't good at them.

He got second in 450 SX as a JGR guy. Is that somehow negative?

Heard awhile back he had a 250sx 450mx deal
But from his own mouth during the mxon broadcast said he is working on US deal its all but done. So im not sure what the deal is but I would be surprised not to see him state side in 18
If anyone is worried about his SX skills in 2014 he had 4 top ten results in the west 250 with two 7ths. 2 x 11ths and his worst was a 14th at A1
He finished second to Brayton in the 16 Aus SX series and at rd1 last weekend caught and passed Reardon for second spot.
Get him on the West for SX with the view to get through with solid results and start testing outdoors early when the East race.
