How does he automatically go in to A qualifying group? Not sarcasm or hating, just a question? What is the criteria?
The same way all the new factory riders do....They have been putting new kids with factory rides in the A practice for a few years now for safety reasons

Are we talking about the kid that went DNF-24 for 32nd overall?

Let's all remember he was 1 minute behind Jett when he had his tumble.

I wouldn't be too hard on him. Alessi went like 25-27 his first national. He still almost won the 2005 and 2006 125 titles. I would imagine Haiden will be top 10 (maybe better than that) next year outdoors barring an injury.

If the truth is too hard then get out of the sport. I said what happened. He went DNF-24. That's the truth. Is that hard to handle? If so go back to local racing.
Outside of the dumb dumb commenters on Deegan's Youtube channel, who said he was going to beat Jett?

What he is doing now, most of us pay to do.

WTF? are you ok in the head?

MA made MILLIONS and its not even a question? He was the most highly touted amateur of his generation other than James Stewart and had factory rides for over a decade many of which he was the marquee rider on the team. Very poor choice in rider to choose for someone to compare to "not making it" lmao.
Ryan Leaf was a #1 draft pick, over Payton Manning. Comparing AM trophies and factory rides is ludicrous…. At the Pro Ranks, holeshot King turned into Arm Pump King after the 3rd corner, that’s nothing to be proud of, his riding was a National tragedy. And his program allowing him to get back on the bike immediately after a nap (aka a concussion) was child abuse. I’m not hating on him, I’m hating on the way he rode, cuz I’m a hater

Leaf was #2 behind Manning. From what I read Indy was considering Leaf but he wanted nothing to do with Indy.

The people saying that on IG and FB were probably the same dumb dumbs from YouTube.

The kid is already getting a bad image for the bike claim and now for getting special treatment, then he crashes his ass off. He needs to turn the cameras off, play by the rules and focus on diet bike riding and results.
Hey now, he is still a kid.
