5 Minutes with Davi Millsaps
Saturday night in Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California certainly
started off well for Team Honda rider Davi Millsaps. In the opening
heat of round three of the 2008 Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Championship, Millsaps enjoyed a great jump out of the gate,
rode fast and aggressively, and despite the fact that he made a
few errors in the eight lap encounter, he powered through them to
win the heat race over a hard charging Grant Langston by 1.974
seconds.
In his post-race interview, Millsaps looked happy and confident
and well on his way to shaking off the bad luck that had plagued
him at both Anaheim I and Phoenix (where he placed seventh and
14th, respectively).
When the 20-lap main event started later that evening, Millsaps
was running well into the upper reaches of the top 10 when, once
again, Millsaps Honda had a run-in with a Tuff Block and he race
was thrown off the rails. By lap 17 he was off on the side of the
track, his race run and a lowly 19th place next to his name on the
AMA scoring sheets.
Yes, it was another poor result, but it doesn’t mean the teenager
has given up or stopped putting his heart into it. Millsaps has show
excellent speed and stamina early in the season and it’s only a
mater of time before things go his way.
The morning of the retroactive-themed Anaheim Supercross, we
spoke at length with Davi Millsaps about the first few rounds of the
2008 season and just how he sees the rest of it playing out in the
months to come. read the interview on alpinestarsinc.com
