Great race last night in Texas for Round 6 of the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series at Houston's Reliant Stadium, home of the Texans.

After a great start in the Main Event, Davi battled for a podium spot all race long, getting passed by Villopoto in the last laps despite clocking the fastest lap of the night with a 48.0

Dallas SX: Davi Millsaps and AGV on the podium again

COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2010 – AGV’s Davi Millsaps had a pretty successful first race in the new Dallas Cowboy stadium this past weekend in Arlington, TX

Despite a big crash at the Toronto SX and not riding during the week in order to recover for Dallas, it was a good day in Texas for a very sore Millsaps. After being 2^nd fastest in the timed practice sessions on the technical track, Davi easily scored the win in Heat 1. On a track that saw a lot of riders going down earlier in the night, Davi came out almost mid-pack at the start of the Main Event and charged towards the front, passing Josh Hill for 2^nd very early. Despite making time on Ryan Dungey during the first stage of the race, Davi could not get close enough to battle Ryan Dungey for the win and finished 2^nd.

“Davi is having a good SX season with 4 podiums and a win and we are very proud of his results at mid-season” said AGV Dainese USA’s Roberto Sadowsky “Furthermore he has continued, with the other AGV riders, to help us develop our motocross helmets and has been a very valuable source of advices”.

Millsaps’ podium in Dallas is his 4^th of the 2010 AMA Supercross season after a 3^rd in San Francisco and Atlanta and a win in San Diego. Davi now sits in 4^th in points standing.

Part of the Dainese group, AGV helmets are the results of 63 years of hard work in finding the best solution in terms of safety and design. A tradition carried on by some of the most important riders of all times who helped AGV make motorcycling history. Among them Giacomo Agostini, Angel Nieto, Barry Sheene, Kenny Roberts, Gennady Moiseev, Randy Mamola, Ezra Lusk, as well as Formula 1 racing legends such as Niki Lauda and Emerson Fittipaldi.

 Today the legend is carried on by the 9 times MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi, who is wearing an AGV helmet since the beginning of his thrilling career, 2008 250cc World Champion Marco Simoncelli and motocross freestyle legend Travis Pastrana and Women Motocross star Ashley Fiolek.

AGV helmets are distributed by Parts Unlimited in the USA and by Steen Hansen in Canada.

AGV's Davi Millsaps gets on the box at Atlanta SX

(very late update - busy week :-) )

Honda Red Bull Racing Davi Millsaps had another succesful weekend in Atlanta last weekend when he took his AGV helmet to a 3rd spot finish in the Main event.

Davi, who won the Atlanta SX in 2008, had won his Heat race earlier in the night, fending off attacks from a fast Ryan Dungey.

After his 3rd podium finish of the year Davi is still 4th in the standings, 13 pts behind Ryan Villopoto.

Gautier Paulin Interview

AMA 2010 Supercross - Anaheim 2

For the second time of the season, the AMA 2010 Supercross series returned to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Ca, where despite a very wet week, the race took place on an actually pretty dry track which turned out to be technical and fun for the spectators.

It was the third and last US Supercross in 2010 for Star Yamaha/Yamaha Rinaldi's Gautier Paulin. GP is leaving the US with a very positive experience, having shown his potential and speed, while adapting to the challenging US SX scene.
On Saturday night, Gautier had good starts and was on his way to a direct transfer to the Main until a wild crash in the difficult whoops threw him hard on the ground. The AGV AX-8 did a good job and GP went to the LCQ where he fought back from 6 to qualify in second.
In the Main, GP had a great start and rode in 4th for a good amount of the 15 laps race before being passed by Factory Connection Geico Honda's Trey Canard and then making a small mistake towards the end, that resulted in a 6th place finish. A very positive result for someone who hadn't race Supercross at that level just 3 races ago.
As much as we would have loved to see Gautier race the full West Coast series, he has to return to Europe and get ready for the 2010 FIM MX2 World Championship. Good luck in Europe GP321 and see you next year in the USA!

Our favorite AMA SX/MX Honda rider, Davi Millsaps had an up-and-down night in Anaheim, showing flashes of great speed most of the night but tiring towards the end of the Main as he looked to be struggling with the bike.
In his Heat, Davi was got in a 1st-turn crash, starting last and climbing back up to 6th for a direct shot into the Main.
In the final race of the night, DM18 started around the 8th place, making his way back to 5th, after passing other big names, where he stayed most of the night, before starting to struggle with the bike and dropping down to 7th at the checkered flag.

Overall, it was a positive night for the AGV riders who showed their potential. GP should have a great 2010 season and DM is working things out and should be fighting more consistently with the Top 5, where he belongs.

First AMA SX Anaheim 1 tit-bits

The first AMA Supercross of the 2010 season, at Anaheim, Ca started pretty good for the 2 AGV riders. Both Honda Red Bull Racing's Davi Millsaps and Yamaha Star Racing Gautier Paulin looked good in timed practice, Gautier clocking a 4th time in the first session of the Lites class and Davi doing the same in the 450.

The night continued in the right direction for the very motivated and confident DM18 and Paulin when the French kid finished 4th in his Heat race, after a solid race - the first one in the US for him - while Millsaps went on to win his 450 Heat, fending off Ryan Dungey in the last laps. Davi''s win is the first SX/MX race win for AGV in a good few years, going back to 1999 and Ezra Lusk back then.

Unfortunately the Main events and the night show didn't go as good. Despite a great start and 2 laps in 3rd of the Lites Main event, Gautier crashed when Trey Canard took him over a berm, made another mistake right after and tightened up, finishing 15th. Gautier was very disappointed and a bit upset with himself for the results. Nonetheless, he has grabbed a few people's attention.
In the 450 class, Davi who had 1st gate pick got a bad start and got arm-pump very early into the race, trying to pass Justin Brayton. Even though he got up to 6th during mid-race, he lost steam towards the end of the race and finished in 9th. After the race Davi was extremely upset with his final results but it's a long season, 16 more races to go and there is no question that he has the raw speed and the talent needed to fight for podium.

Congratulation to James Stewart for his first 2010 win.
