Interesting interview for sure, bummer he won't be 100% though. Let the "he must hate the bike" rumors start in 3,2,1....

He is a GA boy so I will be cheering for him full tilt!
Made it seem like people think he has a built in excuse if he doesnt do well this summer because of the injury.
They also talked about him not liking the bike and that if he can get a deal done soon he may not even finish the whole series.
This interview was very weird.

I liked the interview. I think it reads a bit awkward because he's busting Steve's balls and because he's putting all this out there so people don't talk shit later. I'd guess he really isn't comfortable talking about everything but that it's better than the RV plan as stated at the end. I like it.
It's fine, he's not my biggest fan (I've certainly written some critical things about him over the years, many things that he agrees with now) but it's a good relationship. I just like these "types" of interviews over the polished Q and A's that we see out there.
-DM18 in RacerX interview referring to the KTM 450
to win races and gets a good deal next year. These guys devote their lives to this sport and go through all kinds of injuries
and lifes changes that keep them from reaching the place where they know they belong. Good luck to Davi. Go DV18
i'm bummed he isn't coming into it with more confidence as i'd like to see him on the podium.

Personally, in his words in the interview I "hear" more disappointment and being bummed that he's not where he wanted to be this time out of the chute than him being unhappy with the bike itself. I just hope he can ride himself into shape and put this year behind him.
And he clearly states that the team choose the bike, not him.
Has it been sort of depressing that you haven’t been out there? Did you go through a stage where you were kind of like “woe is me” or whatever? Also, talk about the switch to KTM again and how you feel about that?
I wouldn’t say depressed, just more determined to get back at it as soon as I could. But every time I did something else would happen. We chose the KTM as a team. They’ve been given us a lot of support. Obviously Carlos [Rivera, Davi’s old mechanic] is over there so that helped make up my mind pretty good. Being with Roger [Decoster] and Ian [Harrison] and a bike that is proven, that kind of helps our mind to be made up on where we needed to go. Obviously where we were wasn’t a choice. Everyone keeps asking why did we switch, and why did I switch, but I didn’t have a choice.
