he was roughly 8 to 10 seconds a lap slower than Justin Cooper and Jett Lawrence last time I saw him at Elsinore on a KTM.
Hopefully a winter of training with his new team mates will help him find the extra speed.
You're telling me that you are shocked that a kid who is 15 years old doesn't have the speed of a Supercross champion and a 250 outdoor national champion? This just in, water is wet.
Really happy for the Deegans, they are going to sell a lot of dirtbikes. We should be embracing them and not hating, can you imagine if RC had this kind of video footage of his armature days? That would be rad. Go watch the video of Brian giving a shop tour, what he does for his kids is amazing and he talks of how different it was when he was growing up.
Don't put words in my mouth.
And, Ken Roczen was winning Grand Prix races at 15, so it's not unheard of.
All I'm saying is that he gets a lot of press for a rider that has yet to see his true potential. I hope he kills it eventually.
There are other riders with his skill and roughy his age level who have a different last name that I don't see a lot of Hoopla about here.
Those are your exact words. He has never even lined up an raced a 250 so of course he would be off the pace.
My best advice to you is when you find yourself in a hole stop digging.
Pit Row
The Dutch rider Elzinga I brought over was also on a completely stock 2022 KTM motor on a bike I put together in my garage.
His laps were consistently equal or faster than Jo Shimoda at Glen Helen and Elsinore, and 4.5 seconds slower than Justin Cooper. (Deegan was on track at both sessions also.) Rick weighs almost 180 without gear.
He qualified first at fox raceway national 2 in "B" on the same motor. So I don't think Haiden has ever been short on power for his size on the KTM.
and is that on the 250 or 450?
But like the question.
Point being the kid has work to do. Mike was 16 then. The good thing for Haiden is he will turn pro later but so he has time.
The kid could never race a pro race and make millions just posting content. So I think it's dope that he wants to win championships. And with over a million followers on youtube alone, don't feel bad for the orange brigade. I'm sure they sold enough bikes over the last 8 years to kids that watch his videos to more than make up their investment.
