I wanted to clear the air regarding MXoN. I’m going to swallow my pride and do it. I would only hurt the fans behind our team if I chose not to be backup. I love my country and I’ll be here if I’m needed.

Thank you to all of my partners who jumped through hoops. Good luck to Eli, Haiden, and RJ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That text was just as confusing as, i dont know what.

Swallow his pride and do it? But he is not doing it, he is backup?

RJ was selected over Jcoop?

He's going to be staying ready instead of taking a well deserved vacation

…didn’t I hear Steve Matthes say on his podcast this past Monday that the FIM is reluctant to have Deegan race the event due to his actions in Las Vegas? 
 

Wonder if they are giving team Netherlands a hard time after last weekend as well?!

He edited that; he deleted the first part of the message. Presumably because he is a good dude and decided that making someone look bad isn't in the team's best interest. I should have grabbed a screen shot.

His original message said he was willing to ride either 450 or 250. He was confirmed on the 450 with the disclaimer that he might have to drop down to the 250. Someone went back on their word and now he is the backup. That's why his edited message says that he is going to swallow his pride and still do it.

Who's call was this? Mike Pelletier's?

I said it in another thread, but even if Haiden is healthy enough to race, they should pick someone else after his shitty show of sportsmanship at the SMX final.

Either way, I am so over the crying on both sides about Deegan. The worst people come out of the woodwork on both sides and can't just stfu ever. 

Can we just announce our team? 

Those of us with plans to be there in 10 days would like to know. lol. 

Thank you!!! Fucking people…

They need a backup in the event Deegan can’t race, he agreed to fill that position instead of starting his offseason

How about the Netherlands having Herlings as a backup!! Talking about a shit show😂😂 most idiotic move in years IMO

I upvoted you and wish I could upvote your last paragraph alone a thousand times.  Well said my man.

De Wolf should be out more than Deegan. At least in Deegan's attempts they were going a hell of a lot slower. De Wolf was 3rd gear pinned trying to smash into Längenfelder. And finally succeeded going mach Jesus straigh into the side of him. Y'all need to chill. Deegan's scenario wasn't good, but you're acting like De Wolf's wasn't more dangerous. De Wolf didn't get any penalties that I've heard of...so not sure how MX Sport and FIM can ban Deegan when De Wolf was more dangerous..

I just watched what I think you're talking about. It looked to me like Langenfelder could have simply checked up when he saw DeWolf closing in on his line. Is that the incident you're referring to?

Sure he could've checked up. But he still went for it and De Wolf SMASHED him. By your view the same could be said for Shimoda. He could've checked up every opportunity right? He could've waited behind Deegan and not try to pass him the whole moto, but he passed him anyways. Setting himself up as a target.

Watch Vegas again. Shimoda checked up multiple times. He checked up so well that Deegan had to just toepedo him (so bad that it even caused himself to go down).

So we are just going to ignore that JCoop rode his balls off and put in great rides on the 250 on our last winning team in favor of a hurt Deegan.  A guy that just proved he doesn't ride with his brain and is a complete idiot.   I was in favor of Pelletier taking over but grow some balls and make the right call.  This has disaster written all over it.  Deegan is just trying to hype the Deegan brand because it's here and convenient, he doesn't care.  Guarantee you he wouldn't be trying to go if it was overseas.  Get JCoop in there and give us a damn chance.  All it takes is 1 tip over with Deegan and we are screwed.

Yes, Mike Pelletier.

I’d question if this saga would have been allowed to get to this point if Roger was still at the helm.

I don’t think so…. I suspect Roger would have said Saturday night, Chase concussion and Haiden broken collar bone?  Put RJ and Justin on the team and let’s go.
