I see Deegan maturing a bit and playing long game. With his skill and being able to back it down will make him a contender right away in the 450 class.
This is coming from a guy who likes to see him not finish on the top step. Always enjoy rooting for the underdog.
Deegan* artard 🤦♂️
Right on…
He surely did. About time. Thats what makes this sport fun.
At least we know Deegs is human.
I think he spoke well on the podium today after having bike problems in the first moto and a fall when he was only 2 seconds down in the second.

Congratulations to Hymus. He outrode Haiden today. Haiden can't feel too bad about a 2-2 while extending his points lead over second though.
I’m not sure that you can call it “backing it down” when you overheat your bike trying so hard to pass the leader lol.
but I wanted to see a perfect season by Deegan so my hopes were shot down today.
Deegz put himself in the driver's seat the first two rounds. Now he can ride smart the rest of this championship, which he clearly has the patience to do. Nothing wrong with a 2-2 to a guy that couldn't even line up moto 2 last week
He’s got the “gracious in defeat” part down. It’s just the “humble in victory” part that he needs to work on. I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason why people dislike him. Bragadocious in victory is cringe if you get beat the next weekend.
“…..being able to back it down…”
Genuine question- when have we seen Deegan back it down?
I am just happy we can put the 22-0 and 11-0 talk to bed for both him and Jett now we can just concentrate on good racing.
It was kinda forced due to circumstances but he did back it down in the 1st moto when his bike was on the verge of letting go.
Jett is 3-0. Still has a shot at 11-0.
Being forced to back it down because you’re over riding the bike is not an attribute that would help in the 450 class, so I’m guessing that’s not what the OP was referring to, hence my question.
When I think of American riders that have been dominant in the last 25 years. I think of RC, JS, RV. Deegan might go down with those names but as far as class goes not even close. So cool for a hard working young man like Hymas to beat him today
2nd moto? Last year he would have wadded it up trying to win.
Like I said, he is prol learning the long game approach. Doesnt mean he isnt going to push the limit but I believe he is learning that he doesnt need to win at all costs.
I’ll take Kid Danger just the way he is. He is what he is and he’s won a lot of races and some championships to go with it in a short period of time. I’m happy to see that Hymas has stepped up to challenge Danger along with Joe. Should be some great racing ahead.💯
Yes you are right my bad. Jett is my favourite rider but even I would love Eli or AP or Hunter to get some overalls to keep the series interesting it is never good when one rider dominates to the point of boredom.
Well he's only on a 250 so comparing 250 results, he's looking as dominant as RV
Pit Row
Kawi needs a Deegan.
Who else in 250 class would you take or go after if you were a Kawi, Zook, Triumph, Beta, Ducati?
Shimoda? Somewhat inconsistently consistent. Hymas, Davies ?
Kawi more than the others need a top 5-6 guy, right now
You can actually see him do it often, less so outdoors and more so in SX.
It's a bit easier to "see" with road racing, and it's something Rossi did throughout his career:
Mediocre start, no worries, they push later in the race.
Come time that the "push" does not put them in P1, and there's a few laps to go, and it's not going to; unless it's the Championship point, there's just a small bit of lift you can see in the riding and confirm on the timing, and they take the 2-3 and extend the points lead.
Blood in the water they go for it, but both of them, from rather early on (still what HD is) seem to have picked up quickly on knowing when it won't work and they don't bin it all and screw up the season.
Likely why Rossi stayed so injury free for so many years, and HD seems to be on a similar path. No big wads.
Is HD38 not a "hard working young man?"
I totally get the tactic, but I was asking for a Deegan specific example from outdoors, because he’s not exactly known for deliberately settling for a podium or less during a series until the very end.
If it was referencing today, then he only backed it down in moto one because he had to (bike) and in moto two, only once he was already beat and the race was out of reach.
He’s still really young so I give him a pass on being a little shit 💩 from time to time on the mic 🎤. If by the time he hits the 450 class, he hasn’t learned to mellow out then he deserves people to pile on him. However, for now he’s just being an immature kid 👦 and saying things that immature kids 👦 say.
Deegan is cooked
1st, 2nd or whatever, he is still the most entertaining 250 rider to watch, and isnt that the point of being a fan of racing? Regardless of brand or name on the jersey. Entertaing me, guess i. Past the point of being locjed in on what motorcycle a guys rides or "who" the rider is, just go out and do increible stuff. Right now thats Deegan, i dont watch interviews or follow anyone, so really dont cate what he says, much like any other athlete, really dont care what they say, tbe point is watching them compete.
My opinion
He has spoken well on the podium this year, unfortunately only when he hasn’t won.
Don’t you think this is a bit of an over reaction? If his worst day is going 2-2 that’s scary for everyone else.
I think it is unfair to say something like “Deegan would have except for the bike.” His bike is as meticulously maintained and as durable as a bike can be built. The odds of a mechanical failure without rider causing it is much slimmer then a rider caused mechanical failure. The odds that Chance took better care of his bike while Haiden asked/rode the bike so hard that he essentially caused the failure is much higher. Chance pushed him, while taking better care of his bike, to break his bike by how he rode it. That was as important as any other rider technique that gets you a win. In other words I don’t feel you can use an excuse of blaming the bike.
LoL.. That was just some top of the line sarcasm relating to what deegs had put out there about Hymas last year.
Too Funny! How Dare you make sense, you must stop this outrageous behavior immediately!!!💯👍🏻
