The guy is one of a very small group of riders who's won SX races in the last 5 years...

He'll do good there...

I don't get why everybody hates on DM18... The guy has won SX races and just like anybody else he has some bad races. JGR is a solid team and with their rules and program who knows what could happen.

I lost respect for Milsack when he turned down two kids who wanted an autograph at the Texas national. Supposedly he was hurt but well enough to be hanging out by the Thor/Parts Unlimited set up. So here's to JGR maybe winning one race, there is a long line of rider that Milsack will never get through, but I am interested in hearing some of his excuses.

I hope this kid does not dick around like he has in the past. Nobody has stole more money that Milsaps in this sport.

My prediction is he is fired within a yr.

Should he even be riding? I dont know the extent of his injuries.I guess he does. But from the internet drapple I have heard when he got hurt last time it was bad. Motocross is a way of life. It isnt life. I hope he does well. I would like to see it just to shut everyone up that bagged on him

I think it is great for Davi. He is going to tear it up on a JGR.

I just hope for JGR's sake Davey puts in the work and performs up to his expectations for them.. The JGR crew seems like a great group of guys that put in the work and spend the money to make themselves a top tier team in whatever sport they enter. I think so far almost every rider they've gotten (minus Brayton) has not lived up to their expectations. Sure JG won one outdoor overall and his 1st ever big bore SX (by getting very lucky) but he hasn't even gotten close to winning another SX and as far as outdoors goes a different JG shows up for every moto.. Also IMO while at JGR Josh represented metal mulisha (sp?) more than he has JGR. I think if JGR would of come up with a dope, def , super tight gang sign to throw Josh may have represented them more. As it was when Josh won Xgames it was more obvious he rode for Metal Mulisha w/Deegan trying to steal the spotlight with sticking his ugly mug in every camera shot. Lately he also seems injured more then healthy missing all of SX and a majority of outdoor races. Then there was Hanny that did nothing while with them and Cody Cooper who showed loads of potential in 08 only to disappear off the map in 09 when he got on the JGR yamaha. I think Brayton so far is the only rider that has shown the potential that team has and has represented them w/results and class. I'm glad Brayton will be back with JGR next year and we'll just have to see which Davey Milsaps shows up.

Maybe JGR's strict involvment and motivation is what Davy needs to return to the level of performance he exhibited while coming up through the ranks. He may not completely make it to the top but JGR's effort combined with a wholehearted Davy would show better results than we've seen thus far.

I dont really hate on him although i have been very critical of him in the past and it has nothing to do with his speed. My criticizm is from knowing that kid has enough speed and talent to win a big bike title but just doesnt care or take it seriously enough. He wins then gets 8th next week because he isnt all that motivated or excited to do what he does for a living. What cracks me up is when these top racers walk away and some do in fact get a real job they always come back proclaiming how much they love racing for a living rather than work a 9-5 like the rest of us. Most, not all kids that grew up racing all their lives have some animosity towards racing as if they have it so bad but put them to work making 40k and working their asses off sure does clarify things. Granted Davi will likely NEVER have to work once retired but he will at some point in his life look back and wish he had taken his career a little more seriously because if he did he would most definitely have more than a few big bike titles to go with that lites title. He has stated on numerous interviews that he doesnt like to train and his demeanor when asked about racing looks uninspired, guys like RC, CR, RD and even JS (to some extent) all want to win more than getting "paid" and that is what separates the champions from the rest IMO.

I hope that's the case because Davey is a rider I love to watch when he's on his game. I'm curious if he'll be moving to NC. I know up til now every rider that signs w/them has had to but I've always thought if they really wanted a rider bad enough they may bend a little.

The guys at Honda (and Suzuki for that matter...) had put in just as much hard work, but Davi seemingly had no trouble in not giving it 100% there....What makes you think anything will change at JGR?

Like Lightning said above you, DM can win it all if he wanted to, but lacks the intensity and/or drive to stay motivated.

Like the blittle oy who cried wolf, eventually, no one will believe any more....

I have nothing against Davi, it's just that year after year, his results have been inconsistent. If he can turn it around and put together a winning season, then good for him. He certainly has the talent to do so, but there are other riders I would have hired before him (like Short).
