Davi Millsaps was in damage control mode as soon as he rolled into Daytona. A practice crash at home on Wednesday left him with a tweaked knee, a terrible scenario considering Daytona’s rough, rutted track and extra-long races.
Millsaps was fast at Daytona—fourth-best in 450 SX qualifying—but once the races began, he wasn’t the same rider we have seen all year. As is often the case when a rider feels a little off his game, as confidence wanes, starts erode, also. Millsaps started poorly in his heat and only finished fourth—sub-par for this season.
The main event started worse, with Davi completing the first lap in 10th. It turned into a disaster on the second lap. The Rockstar Energy Racing rider crashed in the left hand turn before the Daytona Gator Pit, and he got tangled on some tuff blocks, too. Crashes early in a race do major damage, and by the time he was going again, he was back to 13th—and the riders in front of him were long, long gone.
For the first time all season, Davi Millsaps has lost control of the points lead.

This is the type of moment Davi’s competitors were hoping for. Every other top rider in the championship can point to a key mistake or crash they’d like to take back. Instead, they were left digging out a points hole while Millsaps kept shoveling more in via consistency and two wins. Now the adversity is coming his way.
He was plenty capable last week in St. Louis. He battled James Stewart for the win in his heat, and even after a bad start in the main, made a bunch of early passes. Then Davi was passed by Ryan Dungey in one of the many moments of red light/red flag confusion (the AMA and FIM ultimately ruled that Dungey’s pass was not illegal, and the light was on to tell riders not to jump the triple ahead, not the double where Dungey made the pass). Moments later, Millsaps was run into by a crashing Trey Canard, bashing his arm and ruining his race. Before that, Millsaps was on the gas.
Now the bad luck is starting to pile up. Passes under red lights, run into by others, bad starts, practice crashes at home, crashes early in the main event—you name it, Davi is dealing with it, and now he’s lost the red plate for the first time.
Hard work is often praised as the ultimate answer to racing success, but there are some things that fall well outside of the realm—bad luck being one of them. But hard work is also what put Millsaps into the points lead in the first place. Can it get him back into it?
Will Millsaps bounce back in Indy?

Millsaps can do it, he just needs to get those good starts again!
Guess we'll find out. Giving RV the points lead and a confidence boost is a nasty combo to try and beat.
Nobody seemed to be complaining about Dungeys pass on Millsaps, just when Stewart got passed.. I wonder why that was???
That picture of Davi in the corner is INSANE!! As far as I can tell, no one complained about the Dungey red light pass because it was more or less settled by the officials as not being illegal..which is why davi concequently didn't file a protest. As for the other issue....its a dead horse...
Lots of racing left. No, it won't be easy, but we all know EVERY rider will have to deal with adversity. RV is hot, no doubt, but he is human and can also have his bad days. Glad to see Davi earn props in this stacked field......Does anyone see Reed gettig a win? He's the only "big name" guy without a win.
Hey Pingree as far as your 2013 rmz 450 test.... You aint gonna ride any outdoor mx this year .You havent thrown a wheel in 10 years..You dont need any of that trick shit to go out and ride...........Ask my man A.Short who was whipping it on a stocker...

You were just a mid pack outdoors anyway..Stay home off the bike and play with moma..........PRE ME ....................Bike looked trick..................
Milsaps is thru and he had his 8 rounds in the sun.............. BooooYA !
BUT i really hope Davi can bounce back. Any of you think he's been doing a Matiasevich of 1990 up until this point maybe...just a little bit? Riding to protect his lead? Maybe thats a bit too harsh...but he has to attack now. Personally I think if he rides like he has been...but just a little bit more aggressive, I think he can beat RV straight up. I sure hope so at least...COME ON DAVI!!!!
Now this will show if Davi has the balls to fight back and see if he wants the championship. This is when he dig down and show what kind of MAN he is.
I want Davi to give Villi a run for his money, and why not Davi has never been in this position before now it time to step up to the plate! Man up!
GO DAVI!!!!!!!!!!!
Puck a_ _ Matthes is it ok if Davi shows emotions or will he have to apologies to his sponsers too?
Milsaps showed up to A1, healthy and in a good place mentally, which garnered him great results that he was able to keep building on. It almost looked to easy for him, now comes the hard part, to secure a championship, Davi will now have to fight through the adversity that befalls every potential champion and makes being a champion so special....Good Luck to ya Davi, show us what you got!!!
Can Davi get the red plate back? Sure. Can he do it by beating RV/RD straight up for wins? No. Can he get it back from a mistake by RV? Yes.
Davi's only chance at the red plate is a mistake from RV. Davi also has Dungey breathing down his neck, and if the points are there Dungey will not give them to Davi that's for sure.
Villopoto, Dungey, Reed, Stewart, Canard, Barcia, and others have all had bad races. Now Davi is having his. Why is everyone acting so surprised?
Did everyone expect Davi to be good for 17 rounds? Nothing in his career could have ever given you that idea. Everyone is acting like Davi is some solid consistent guy who's never never made mistakes in his career. lol
The time for davi's excuses has long passed ! No one cares or wants to hear it. With great success comes great trials... Man up Milisaps , it's now are never !
Davi, if you are ever going to be half the man most of the above posters are, you have a mountain to climb. Therse guys are the real deal. They have proved themselves with their hard hitting, aggressive posting, now it's your turn to show em what you got Davi.
Well, we're waiting. LOL
@Langston_fan Lol. You really think Millsaps and bet RV straight up!? Millsaps is fast but does not have the all out speed and aggresion Villopoto has, period!
@ littlepeepeekock now that was funny.Hahaha.
Great advice coming from all the behind-the-keyboard warriors lol
Hopefully this is the end of the "bad luck" for Davi. He certainly has earned to be where he is at... Everyone has those nights, some worse than others...Jacksonville 2011 anyone???
I see a Davi and Dungey battle for second in points ensuing over the next few weeks while they hope RV has another bad night to keep them in it......RV is obviously a click above the rest right now and I think Stewart is close behind him. I stated a while back that once Stewart got things together, he would be playing the spoiler role when it comes down to the points battle between RV, Saps and Dungey late in the series...Still a ways to go yet, so anything can happen....If RV and Stewart continue to get these great starts, they will be 1 and 2 a majority of the remainig races I think....Reed may sneak up there too and be a spolier as well - which will affect Dungey more than anyone I think as head to head I dont see Reed topping RV or Stewart at the moment ...so we'll see.... I think Reed may sneak a win in, but possibly not until the last round in Vegas.... Dunegy albeit is consistant, but you need to win more than one race..or maybe not....But the way many of us look at it, winning races is much more impressive than just getting lucky on others misfortune...... Bring on Indy!!
Davi has had a couple of bad races for sure. Hopefully he can turn things around to finish out the season strong.
I am not bagging on Davi but RV's bad luck at the beginning of the year is why he led the points for the first nine races. Luck will always be a part of racing it is how you manage your self throughout bad times that will make you or break you. Davi will be fine if he does not panic.
If Davi gets a start and RV doesnt, Dave can win, he can go fast enough Rv doesnt run him down.. He has proven that.. If they start 1-2. I think RV gets him, he is dialed.. But we have to see what kind of track Indy has.. The dirt got dry last year.. I would love to see an interview with Davi to see how his arm is.. Nobody has asked him about it.. I would be interested to see if it was a problem at Daytona.. Millsaps doesnt seem to be the type to make excuses, if the arm was a problem he would say so..If its not, he wouldnt use it and say it was..
@dschadel-- Millsaps has beaten RV "straight up" RV didnt crash out in Millsaps wins. Every race is straight up.. They both start at the same time.. Davi has beaten him before.. RV is on and dialed, but Millsaps has beaten him.. Nobody is unbeatable..
Blood is in the water RV already passed him and the Dungey the locomotoive is coming, sorry Davi, it was a great run but your time has passed.
Tough crowd today. Can't imagine there is anyone that is surprised that Davi has had a bad race; It was bound to happen. I can say that I was bummed to see it happen. Hope the series is still this close going into Vegas.
I will admit that I would prefer to see Davi win the series; no reason other than it would be different. Besides that, I am mostly impartial, although I do enjoy seeing Reed and Barcia having bad days.
A lot of races left. Murphy's Law...shit happens...when you least expect it. RV can easily throw it away with a DNF...as well as Dungey. As far as you guys asking Millsaps to "Man up"...Really? These guys are in a different solar system with their fitness, talent, and mental toughness. Millsaps could give us all a 10-lap head start in a 20-lap event, and beat us on a 1975 Hodaka Dirt Squirt.
On the positive side DM has not had near as bad of races as RV, CR, JS, and TC have had and maybe he won't. Here's hoping he is back to feeling it sat !
In this field getting a 5th means you are incredibly good, getting 8th is not bad and getting 1st means you are alpha dog !
@ therealmofo, what are you talking about? Both races where Davi won RV crashed at A-1 I think it was 3 times?At San Diego it was late in the race, RV got a bad start and got up to 4th then washed out and got 6th.
I think if Davi starts 1st and RV starts top 6 and does not crash he still gets Davi.
I hope Milsaps gets back to a podium guy, I think it is great for the sport and there is nothing to not like about Saps.
Being a realist, if you are watching the same series I am and what has developed the last 4 races. I don't think the 18 beats the 1 unless the 1 makes mistakes or gets a 15-20th start and 18 is top 3. It seems motological to me!
Here we go with the "straight up" stuff again. It means dif things to dif people. To me straight up mean's one on one. If you are running 1/2 thats straight up but if someone gets taken out in the first turn to me that is not straight up. Yes it's still a win and no astrik but not as good as head to head on the track were you have a far/clean shot at the win. and head to head I don't see Saps beating RV. His great starts and great riding is what got him the red plate. I said he built up a 20 point lead in 8 or nine races no reason RV can't make that up in the next 8 or 9 and he did it in 2!!
Yeah, a tweaked knee and deep rutted corners - bad combo. Rip it up in Indy Saps.
@therealmofo. Take a look at the comments from BillC & Red54m and you might understand what I was talking about?
Oh the "tweaked" knee that happened at "home" while no one was watching...sure.
I cant lookaat hardly any comments from BillC and take them very serious.. He is too much of a "I know everything" kinda guy.. But at San Diego, RV's washing out might have hurt RV's position, but he doesnt catch Davi in that race..I call that straight up because Davi wins that anyway.. I dont care if a guy gets a bad start or not, its straight up.. I can see some peoples position on the straight up stuff.. But I DO NOT think they have to be 1-2 to be a straight up race, that is dumb.. It almost never happens.. That could be the same as saying RV hasnt beaten Davi straight up either.. Because they havent been 1-2... See what I mean.. As long as something crazy dumb doesnt happen like getting caught in a first turn pile that is no fault of the rider, it is a straight up win, because the rider himself in responsible for himself getting the bad start..
Rv and Davi havent been 1-2 at all, so I guess RV hasnt beaten Millsaps straight up yet either right??? See how silly that is?? Millsaps San Diego win was straight up.. RV doesnt catch him even if he doesnt wash out..
I said in my post Davi doesnt beat RV if they start 1-2.. I do know RV is on and dialed,read ALL of my post guys, but I do not take anything away from Davi with his early wins, he earned them all..
LOL pzzacorner!!!
All the guys have nursed or have some nagging injuries by this time in the season, it is how you deal with them that counts.
therealmofo RV passed Sap's I believe and beat him, That is straight up also. They don't have to be 1/2 that was just one example I used. but when Reed takes RV out in turn 2 is that Straigh up to you??
.Again this is an opion, There is no right or wrong just how each person feels is straight up.
therealmofo How could you know that RV would not have ran Sap's down if he did not wash the front?? Really makes me laugh when people "KNOW THINGS" are you kiddding me?? How could you know that??
The word is "Straight-Up "...
Could you use that in a sentence?
Reed was feeling " bouncy" and his bike "Straight Up" bounced him off onto the ground....
The RV and Davi argument.....I have seen Davi have some good races - but I have not seen anyone slice through the pack like RV did at STL....Twice....Head to Head I give the nod to RV over all these cats....Stewart I think right now is a close second while you can throw a blankie (yes blankie, I have a baby) over Barcia, Dungey, Saps and Reed..... Thus far, Reed and Barcia have seemed to make the most mistakes, while Stewart for once has probably the least amount of blunders...Daytona fall for Stewart was a result of the berm giving way.....so, not as much as a Stewart blunder...
I will just stick with what I have been posting since RV was almost a race down. As long as the top 3 are able to throw a leg over the bike, at the end it will be RV by at least 20 points then RD and mad DM. That is just the way it is. All you have to do is look back at the Ryan's the last 3 years, nothing has changed. The only thing I am wavering on now is I think Reed smells 3rd and may get it. But I am not going to change my predictions weekly according the last race. The best talent right now is RV, RD, JB, CR, DM, JS, TC. The best heat racer is JS but he thinks in the mains it looks better going from 10th to 5th than from 1st to 5th.
@ Maico25, Agree with all brother!!
@killomoto - got a binkie to go along with that blankie? I think there are a few people on the thread that could use it. lol
Congrats BTW
Too bad Millsaps has had 2 "off" races in a row. I would like to see him (and Dungey) mix it up with RV to keep the series suspenseful all the way to Vegas. Barcia, Stewart, Reed, and Canard are all capable of being the spoiler for the top 3 in the points so it may not be wishful thinking.
Any predictions based on the last 3-4 races is pretty sketchy. Starts have dictated this series and all 3 have now had races with starts outside the top 10. RV could easily go back to the great starts he had at the beginning of the year. Any one of these guys could end up in the LCQ if they aren't careful or are just unlucky.
Time to ask BD25 to check that crystal ball of his.
Straight up to me means whoever finished ahead beat the others including the others making mistakes and going down etc. The only exceptions are a mechanical or someone taking someone else out (not the racers error) the score and results don't change but I call that "luck".
example CR is fighting for 1st and goes down taking RV in third and others out- i would not say DM beat RV straight-up
RV washing out and DM wins- I call that straight up winning, so yes DM has beaten RV twice "straight up this year and once RV had bad luck. RV beat DM straight up 7 times this year
I think this agrees with what Billc said
That being said I think RD will take 2nd away from DM this year and feel like CR will try hard for 3rd but DM will have to falter to let him.
In the light of all the top guys this year DM really hasn't faltered yet except his slide out in Daytona which cost him 3 positions, but he is only 2 points out anything can happen and no one wants any more injuries.
i think rv has a little james stewart in him, blazing fast and takes chances he doesnt
have to. thats not a bust on rv,
the guy only rides one way wide open. if he doesnt crash himself out he will win the title, however dungey is right there if he waffles so we will see if davi can stay ahead of dungey.
I hate "sraight-up" as much as I hate "raw speed" or "pure speed". The thing is we ALL know what is meant by these terms even if some want to bend their meanings to favor "their guy". Stewart can win 1 round out of 17 rounds but have more "raw speed" than the guy that won the other 16 of them. Similarly, some want to make "straight up" mean in a race from the start, regardless of what happens. We ALL know "straight-up" means starting 1-2 and may the best man win with no mistakes. Hardly ever happens though.....the no mistakes part. Orrrr, it could mean 2 guys going for 10th for 10 laps straight. If Davi starts 1 and RV starts 2 we know there is no way Davi is beating him without some sort of abnormality, which then eliminates the spirit of "straight-up". The idea of straight-up is Stewart beating RV at Atlanta. It isn't Davi beating RV at San Diego. So let's stop the nonsense and just be objective for a change. If Broc Lesnar gets in a fight with Broc Tickle and a tree branch falls on Lesnar's head and Tickle punches him a few times while he is knocked out, Tickle did not beat him "straight-up". Now no one ever use that term again.
Oh and I see some may be confused, starting 20th and passing everyone for a win(or starting 6th, 5th, 4th) isn't beating them "straight-up". That is a fully functional ass-kicking. That is akin to what happens when the tree branch misses Lesnar, and then he shrugs and grabs Tickle and the damage ensues.
@BILLC-- Its obvious you DO NOT comprehend when you read, or you dont read an entire post... You said "When Reed takes out RV in turn 2 is that straight up to you?" Whe in my post I wrote BEFORE you asked this question I CLEARLY said "As long as something crazy like getting caught in a first turn pile up" I guess you just happened to miss that sentence huh BILLC.. ???
And in San Diego when RV washed his front end out, there was only 4 laps left I think, and RV was pretty far behind Millsaps and NOT making up time on the hard crappy track, that is how I KNOW he wouldnt have caught Millsaps, like you havent written the same stuff.. He would NOT have run him down there wasnt enough laps left and he wasnt making up time on the crap track.. I think you just like to start sh!t..and you say you laugh when people know things.. You must laugh at your "know-it-all " self alot
@B-KR--exactly, you said it correctly.. guys want to bend things in "their guys" favor, so they throw the "straight up" crap.. I NEVER heard this term before Stewart started racing.. It started because he crashed alot, guys say he was never beaten "straight up"
Maico25,
After round 2 or 3, I said Davi would not finish the year better than 4th and got killed for it. Even though I had Reed being ahead of him in that prediction and 37 points is a long way for Reed to come back from now, I will stick with that prediction. It wasn't based on Davi's abilities, but just how long a 17 race series is and how good RV, Dungey, Reed, and Stewart are and I figured at least 3 of them would be there. There is still a ton of racing left, and unfortunately everyone else is going up while Davi is going the wrong direction. For the first half of this year, I kept Jeff Matiasavech in mind as he held the SX lead for quite some time in 1990 with consistent finishes, only to have a few bad races drop him back at the end.
I believe Davi will be fine as long as injuries do not plague him. I think we will continue to see podiums out of him and maybe another win. Will this be enough to get the red plate back? NO! Villadodo will have to have another bad day as well. I do not think Villadodo is as worried about DM as he probably is RD. He knows that Dungey is one who will quietly gain on you and strike at the right moment.
ryanwagopoto~Canard is another champion who has not won a race yet this year.
@Redbullmx98, ya aint justa whistling Dixie right there!! LOL
Hang tough Davi, It's far from over and alot can happen, be strong like BULL!!!
I'd say to Davi if he reads this crap "you're exactly where you want to be". Imagine anyone being 2 points out of the series lead after Daytona. Nobody thought he'd be here. It's as close to being where all the top guys want to be. Now he just needs to forget the last two races, and look ahead being 2pts out and the home stretch ahead. Go For It!! No pressure now, just race.
@jw521
For dungey to sneak and take points away he would have to beat RV. Just a few races ago Dungey was ahead of RV in points, now RV is like 15 ahead of him. So don't get to caught up in that, sneak away points theory. The only way you get points from the guy in front of you is if you beat him. And RV isn't going to let that happen.
RV is still worried about Davi because Davi is close, a couple races of Dungey off the podium and RV will be a whole race ahead of him points wise. If Davi can keep it together it will be between him and RV. And Davi (besides the last two races) has been better then Dungey this whole season. Do i think the last half will stay that way? No. But you never know.
My interpatation on straight up. The champion at the end of the Searies beat everyone that started the season STRAIGHT UP PERIOD. Racing involves crashes both on your own or a take out, injuries are a part of racing just as much as getting bad starts vers good starts. There are no WHAT IF's, AND's or Buts, COULD OF's, etc. it is called racing!! Luck is where preparation and determation cross paths.
I think millsapps can do it ,he has to get his head together . He is just as fast as rv when he's on it , but rv is on top of his game and really tough .
I love daytona but that one was a little boring- but good for Villopoto. He is rising up to the challenge and getting it done. I remember thinking that 22 pts isnt that much- and here we are 2 weeks later. I hope Davi can rebound to his previous form and be right in it til the end. If Villopoto continues to do what he is doing- and gets the three peat it will be huge. But I'm still wondering if Dungey has a few more tricks up his sleeve. I remember him turning it up at the end of a couple of series in the past- and he is only a few points out of it.
I must say Reed and Stewart have been a dissapointment this season- I expected them both to put a little more HEAT on Villopoto this time around- but maybe they are both on the way over the hill.
Great ride by Tomac- that has to help his confidence for when the series starts up again- he 'smoked' K roc. Good to see Wilbur gettin it done- hes been in the tidddler class too long- kinda reminds me of Davalos.
I dont think Wilson shoulda oughta done that to Zac Bell- the kid has had enough problems already- welcome to the school of hard knocks. I think they absolutely shoulda let Pieck and Kiniry in and called it a tie.
This the first Daytona where Stewart either didnt win OR have a huge crash. Shoulda left the setup alone. I dont think he was out of shape- he did win it last year in the mud on a Yamaha. But as they say Tick Tock Tick Tock- lets see what happens outdoors.
Ill never forget Jason Lawrence leading almost til the end- that was almost surreal.
Whatever happens I hope its not settled before Vegas.
Davi has ridden all season with the pressure of holding the red plate. Now that he's had a run of bad luck ( and lame AMA scoring ), the pressure of leading is over...and he can concentrate on catching up. There is no doubt that RV is on fire...but this isn't the Davi of old. There are a lot of races left, and DM18 can still win it all if he's fast and consistent. I'm pulling for him to win it all...
@outlaw53
The pressure of leading is over? hahahah That's one of the dumbest things i have read on here. You think Davi would rather be trying to take points away from RV then having a nice 22 point cushion? lol
Davi had it made in the shade, almost a whole race ahead of everyone else in points due to their misfortune. Now that cushion is gone. And it's put up or shut up. Davi has everything to lose now if he has a bad race again. The pressure he never felt the whole year, is now on!!!!

I don't hate "Straight Up" or any of the other sayings. Language, vocabulary, communication continues to deteriorate. Part of that is is an aversion to learn, ask questions, seek to understand, define, etc.
Rather than run from something, I would prefer to provide clarity so that the larger majority sees the same thing.
Any of the riders have been beaten. If they did not win for any reason, any reason at all, they were beaten that day. Such has been true all season.
So, straight up.... well my particular definition likely does not come into play in the context of the races this season because I see alike this.
All things being equal, two people going head to head, no falters, doing the best they can. The victor straight up won.
I will say that in that definition, I believe that RV can straight up beat DM, if not anyone right now. Yes, perhaps a case could be made that JS on one of his good days could be the victor.
As this scenario will never happen, it will always be just bench racing, ans should only be taken as seriously as bench racing deserves.
Now, a better conversation to me is comparing how these guys move through traffic.
Maybe my definition is not your definition, but maybe it help provide some leve of clarity? Maybe not

I was at daytona, RV did not seem as to have many fans on his sack as the ones in this thread, in fact while opening ceromonies the one that got the people on there feet was yes James Stewart not a lot of love for RV, maybe the way he got those points back left a bitter taste in the straight-up racing bullshit, Stewarts heat race that was insane, got it done on the final lap, people went crazy, For the straight up it would be safe to say the only time james has lost a race is he was hurt or fell, cant say that for the rest of them. Hope DV can pull it out, Villo is beatable, when he get behind he makes some stupid mistakes.
@DRHLRacing
Ever been to Cali or any other round? Those places scream for RV and boo James with pride.
James has no dog in the fight. He is not a championship contender. His heat race win was against Andrew Short and Roczen, wow, amazing lol. He had nothing for the top guys at Daytona, James would have thrown up by lap 14, he was a dud, and rode like one.
Doesn't matter how much you clowns rag on RV, he is the points leader and has won the most rounds? Does that make you mad? ahhhahhah
RV can only beat himself.
DRHLRacing
James get's beat on the reg, has for years. RV has won more races then everyone for the last 3 years. RV and Dungey have won more then James in the last 3 years.
James has only fell twice this year and he got beat every time whether he did or not.
lol James fans are truely delusional. James is on his way out the door a loser. RV is on his way to more championships. Does that make you mad? ahahhaha
RV and DM have won more races then James this year also.
Stewart fans love excuses, pretty sad that;s all James' career has really been anyway.
persona, James has championships and AMA records what are you talking about excuses for his career.
You sound like you just started watching.
Hang in there, Millo, we're proud of you.
