So the kid from the B leagues in Europe gets a sixth Place in a Moto last weekend and some of you trolls are saying he will get 19th? Are we kidding here?

That says more about the “B league” than it does Haiden Deegan.

How can you possibly know if Rick Elzinga is faster than Ryder D, or if whoever won EMX125 is faster than Casey Cochran? lol

Easily, Euro kids are way faster and it’s not hard to see.

Plus we will see in a couple of weeks… Cochran and the USA guys VS Valk, Reisulis Brothers, Van Irp…

I think the top kids on the teams shouldn't be allowed to race B and they should get a full season of being allowed to race pro or amateur A as much as they want.
Once the season is done - they are out of amateurs.

A class at Loretta's would be stacked!

The kid has done nothing but win his whole life, hasn’t had any major injuries, and is on the best team who just had a relatively unknown rider get a 6th. I’d say top 10 would be the bare minimum that we should be expecting. My prediction would be 4-8, with some drama of course.

Conspiracy theorists will say Ryder D sat out last weekend to be 100% for the showdown we've all been waiting for lol.

They had 19 in MX2 last weekend. Pathetic.

I guess it doesn’t really matter where he finishes. For every race he enters, he will only get better.

It's the next big thing. They wouldn't let him race if they estimate him to finish around 15th lol. Put him top 5

Every over-exposed rookie gets the same pinball treatment from those that have actually achieved something already.

I expect nothing less for Deegan.

The question is...what kind of meetings will be held involving MX Sports, Star, and Brian Deegan at this event?

He hasn't been yarding the locals at these A races he has been racing the last 2 weeks. I dont think he breaks the top 12 either moto. I think he is going to be surprised at the pace, how slick the track is in practice, and how deep the ruts are in the motos. He might have a bit of a target on him as well.

Sad but true about the target. The LL drama only made it bigger IMO

I think 10 - 15 would be a decent result, all depends if he has the stamina - remember he is still a kid. I also think there is a plan, would expect this to be dependant on results next 2 rounds. Why not toughen him/ work on his stamina/ experience different tracks up by sending him to Europe next year till SX finishes and then get him in AMA outdoors??

If you read the previous comments, you'd maybe be able to wrap your head around such a perplexing comment. I don't care how he does, which nobody cares that I don't care.

In Jett Lawrence's first national at Unadilla, he finished 21-8. His second race was 24-30, no points. Third race was 12-14.

I expect something similar from Haiden. Maybe he will score points in more than 1 out of the first 4 motos, though.

Thanks for that, I was at that race and trying to think back to how he did. I know Shimoda also made his debut there.

I’m no statistician but I know some of you guys are. It would be interesting to see a chart with some notable rider’s debut moto finishes. I don’t remember a lot being consistent. Besides Tomac of course!

Yep he's there to learn/get his feet wet at the pro level.
Finish both moto's, stay out of trouble and see what the results bring from each moto and build on that.
Looking forward to following his result.

If he gets a good start, he definitely has a fast 20 minutes in him. How far he fades back after that, and how quickly he recovers between motos are the big questions.

Love him or hate him, this could be the highest viewed national this year because of his audience of over 1M subscribers and his pro debut.

Fuck, I just realized our current platform crashes anytime there’s a decent crowd trying to watch it. Worst timing ever… Grinning
