Not to mention there's history with Deegan and Bobby. Notice the "Deegan 38" sticker on the side panel:

One of the most overrated kids I've seen in a while. He was at the Muddy Creek Regional last month and there were several more impressive than Bennick. For all I know he could've been nursing an injury or something though.

And we wonder why this sport is so messed up.

Before most of them became a bunch of idiots I was a huge football fan and I'm well aware of the youth scouting in all sports. Doesn't mean it's not messed up.

I just looked at his most recent post on IG he hasn’t announced a team and he’ll release more details soon but his helmet looks like it’ll be the muc-off team unless that was a personal sponsor

its not chance hymas, unless he switches after Loretta's, because he was at Fox Raceway yesterday on his team green bike.

My guess is Danger Boy.. their youtube channel has been all about which bike Haiden will ride for 250's...Would be a big change but i think honda is pulling the Social Media likeness for the reason to sign him... hes a great brand ambassador already and hasnt even turned pro... its a great way to see more kids on red bikes. its a win even if haiden totally flops and never goes pro... his youtube is worth it alone for Honda.

I would assume that every team is speaking to him, everyone would be lucky to have him and his following on board.

I mean HRC doesn't really seem to care what personal sponsors your carry. Sexton is Monster and Roczen is RedBull, so no conflict there. Sexton is Alpinestar and Roczen is Fox. I would think that if it's Deegan, Honda would let him bring whatever relationships he wants in, except some of the Deegan family ties outside of Haiden like Ford or Can-Am.

Brian has discussed the topic, he said that he thanks all his sponsors along this journey but when the time comes he said his son will sign what's best for him.

Is Degan riding 250s next year or something? Other than knowing that he is a thing, I do not know much about him. Is he going to show up at A1? Or be a amateur factory rider for a year?

Pretty sure Deegan said on gypsy tales that Haiden wouldn't be going pro for another 3+ years or something. I'd think zero chance hes at A1 in 2022 or 2023 if I remember correctly.

He's moving to a 250 after LL this year but he wont be on the gate for A1, probably 2-3 years out from that yet just from what Brian has said in interviews. Obviously that could all change though.

Deegan was talking a few weeks ago about how important it was for Haiden to be on a 125 for a while. even showed him on one on you tube. I wonder if this plan has changed. I like seeing the younger Deegan boy Hudson's progress. he has no trouble sending his little bikes.

I think they should sign a 50 plus rider. Aztalan gets 34 on the gate. Kinda of a big deal who is the fastest 50 plus guy is. MC turns 50 on 11-19 , I bet he could beat any 250 b rider on a sx track. Red Bud vet race is a full gate of 50 plus. There is more 50 plus riders, why wouldn’t a manufacturer help out.

If it hasn’t been said yet, it’s Hymas.

Chances are good that Deegs will be on a Star after LLs, over Jmart.

Personally.. right now... i think the HRC Honda 250's are giving the Yamaha guys fits.. it seems to be the only bike that can go toe to toe with the YZ250F's..

I don't believe in this instance its bike. Both Hunter and Jett are phenomenal riders that could probably do well on any color machine.

Sounds like a solid plan by Brian... a little more time before feeding his son to the wolves is a good thing long term....

Those Honda’s do look good. Both Lawrence bros say the bike is much better and faster.

Yeah I joke around a lot, but it’s way over due for a manufacture to sponsor a vet rider. My whoop speed is warp 9, I wish parachutes where legal. Because I need one at the end of whoops. Pisses me off every time, I,m at the end of the whoops. They should be longer like 800 yards.
