SX: Millsaps Grabs Fourth In Toronto

JGRMX’s Davi Millsaps was the sole representative for his team on the only trip outside of the USA for the AMA Supercross series (also an FIM World Championship) as the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada hosted the twelfth round of seventeen. Over 47,000 spectators saw the YZ450F rider again almost grab the holeshot for the twenty lap main event and the 24 year old was in contention for another podium finish before going onto secure fourth position and take his fourth top five result of the campaign.
Millsaps was the only JGR racer in action across the border after James Stewart was forced to the sidelines in the wake of his practice crash last week in Indianapolis. “It really hurts me to say this, but after spending the last couple of days under the observation of doctors and my family, it looks like it would be best for me to sit out this weekend’s race in Toronto,” Stewart had communicated before the race. “The fall at Indy was big but aside from the obvious, it aggravated a couple old injuries and I’ll need time to fully recover from that. at this point, there's no real time line for my return. But we’ll be working at it again next week to re-evaluate my abilities for the race in Houston.”
Millsaps won his heat race and then fought with Jake Weimer and Kevin Windham for the final podium slot. Windham’s experience eventually helped him obtain the bottom step while the Yamaha star was able to capitalized on a mistake by Weimer late into the 20 laps to cross the line in fourth.
“Usually, in the whoops, having long legs is an advantage but when they are rutted out like that I think it's actually worse,” he explained. “It was tough through there and it sort of messed up the rest of my lap just worrying about the whoops. Still, I was up front, and I almost put it up on the box again, so things are going good. I'm happy."
Stewart is still third in the points but Millsaps is creeping up and rests just eight points behind in fourth. Round thirteen will take place next week at the Reliant Stadium in Houston.
