Davi Millsaps was up and about at the RedBud National
Motocross in Michigan.
WALKING
WOUNDED
I
t was good to see Davi Millsaps back at the track
again. After his spectacular performance in the
2013 AMA Supercross Series, the Rockstar Energy
team rider has been off the radar, but he showed
up at the RedBud National Motocross in Michigan,
July 6, as a spectator.
Millsaps recently underwent major surgery to repair his knee and femur, which had taken years of
abuse and were in dire need of fixing.
Millsaps, who finished second in the 2013 Supercross Championship, sacrificed the outdoor
series to have the operation performed as soon as
possible so he can focus on the 2014 Supercross
Championship.
"I got released to walk on Monday and I'll be
back for Supercross," said Millsaps. "I will start cycling in two weeks and I can get back on a bike in
four, so I'm looking forward to that.
"Everything is healed and everything is good,"
he added. "They had to pretty much go in and cut
my femur and open it up, and they cleaned it out.
They also fixed some things in my knee, so everything should be good to go now."

oto2 World Championship leader Scott Redding rode the Suzuki RGV500 that Kevin
Schwantz rode to the 1994 500cc World Championship on Sunday during the annual Bikers
Classic event at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium,
the Brit joining the likes of Giacomo Agostini, Phil
Read, Wayne Gardner and Christian Sarron on
the track.
"Lining up on the grid with all these champions
around me, it felt like I was actually taking part
in a 500 GP race," Redding said. "Sat there on
the bike in front of a huge crowd, surrounded by
the likes of Wayne Gardner, Christian Sarron and
Didier de Radigues, I got a real good feeling for
what it must have been like for Kevin Schwantz
when he lined up to race this bike back in '94. It
was an incredible experience."
