Well RV smoked Ben, and RV was balls out so who cares what Townley said?  

You don’t need to win to have good insight, Ricky Carmichael is proof of that. I know you’re baiting though so that’s some tasty bait

A big reason Deegan is winning is because all of his competition has been hurt and missed races. If his competition could string multiple seasons together like he has since he was an amateur I think the racing would be a lot closer. These guys all lack confidence because of multiple setbacks. Jo and Hymas are close in speed. Cole Davies is already on his level in SX. Cole is back on the bike and we might get to see him outdoors if he needs points to get into SMX.  

Will be interesting to finally see how Deegan stacks up against the GP riders at Ironman.

An even bigger reason Deegan is winning is because he's faster, more consistent, and has the wins and titles to prove it. Only a dumb sod would think otherwise...

You’re so easily triggered. Everyone he’s raced this summer that was his top competition has been coming off injury. I’m sorry I made an observation and triggered your feelings, again. I’m just going to assume you’re just a kid. I don’t want to pick on a child. Does it ever get tiring resonding to every Deegan comment? You take Super fan to another level.

Danger boy will be a super star in the premier class you have all doubted him to this point and all he does is win!! He will adapt and win on whatever he throws his leg over kid has just as much talent as Jett and maybe more!! Just enjoy the ride!! Kid is for real.

We've all doubted him? All of us? I'd say the vast majority have acknowledged how good he is from the get go. The reason most people dont like him is because of his personality but even they say how great a rider he is. Now do people question him immediately winning in the 450 class? Of course. 450's anit 250's. And as talented or more than Jett? Based on what? Hes nowhere near the sx rider Jett is

Cry some more.  He's beat everyone for the last two seasons, and instead of giving credit where credit is due, sods like you try to minimize his accomplishments and excuse them away. 

It looks like you and Paul333 are both running a campaign to be the mayor of Loserville.

Big Deegan fan here. Kid is amazing. But if he thinks that he is going to manhandle and over ride a 450 in Supercross like he rides his 250 now and be able to beat Jett and Chase, he’s in for a rude awakening… He has speed, he needs to spend the next year improving his technique if he wants that speed to translate to 450 Supercross. 

450 podium  Im guessing, dude has more pride, heart, hate and drive than anyone seen in a long time

True, but RC didn’t have to beat Jett Lawrence or Chase Sexton in 450 SX… the game has changed over the years. 

Yeah he only had to beat James Stewart and Chad Reed...

They are legends. That’s my era, don’t get me wrong, but in SX, you drop Jett and Chase on Chad and James’ bikes back then and they win. Amateurs are better than they were 20 years ago. Privateers are better than they were 20 years ago.  Top Pros are better than they were 20 years ago. The sport grows and elevates. 

Couldn't disagree more.    I'm picking james everytime on mid 2000's equipment.  James chad and RC didn't have 9 tamed down whoops to deal with... they had non jumpers, sometimes multiple sets, and real dragon backs.

In 2009, slightly after RC retired, Indianapolis literally had a section with 4 dragons backs and you were supposed to rhythm through. That’s so far off the tracks we have today

You can appoint them as Mayor considering you own the town.
