Unless I understood wrong they said they can put Cooper in if that happens on the blair matthes.
Oh, right... Last year when he raced all season while needing that surgery, then couldn't put it off a week or 2 to do MXdN. That's not different at all to this year where he just had surgery and is putting himself in a vulnerable position and will not be 100%.
Yes, I'm absolutely certain, this time, it's about pride and representing our country... Nothing selfish (and stupid) at all.
Honestly if it wasn’t so expensive I’d say an alternate every year is a smart move. But the scenarios I’m thinking of (Jmart, AP in 18) it wouldn’t have helped much
none thank god😂

Deegan’s in? Alrighty then. I guess we’re rooting for the Assies.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!
🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
To be clear, my plans were canceled weeks ago, nothing to do with this, I'm just less sad about it now.
Not just you. Sometimes I think the Deegan's have a narrative they play for the notoriety.
I’m absolutely certain this is damage control. If it goes well he’s the hero and if it doesn’t he has the heart and gave it all for his country-and every step of the way will be filmed and I’m sure the MXON merch is already being printed. If he didn’t make a complete ass out of himself in Vegas he’d be sitting this one out again.
So people are cancelling plans to go to the race, cancelling donations, and rooting for the foreign teams......
Anyone saying cooper over haiden on the 250 is delusional haiden is the best 250 rider in the world…. Cooper over rj though too cooper has stepped up numerous times even though they are both great lets hope USA does it this year!!
100% Cooper over 80% Deegan all day. We’ve seen this before. Nobody has been 100% coming off the collarbone surgery.
I hope he’s the exception, but I personally would avoid the risk.
Deegs. 🇺🇸
If we were talking about a 450 I would say a 100% cooper over an 80% Deegan but this is a 250 we’re talking about id still choose Deegan and deegans ability to rise to the occasion and pressure has been unmatched in his career so far plus trying to win all the whiners over from last weekend hopefully it’s a great race
Yeah that’s great and all but you can’t tell me it doesn’t bother them being considered the biggest tools in the pits every weekend - how could it not.
That is probably the case normally but under the current circumstances with a broken collarbone, that’s not necessarily the case.
This is nothing more than a PR stunt for the Deegans. They are going to talk about how he gritted it out for his country. If it doesn't go well they will fall back on his collarbone. Truth be told, he didn't need to grit it out as most of us would rather have Jcoop. The fact they told Jcoop he would be on the team and now renege on the offer is complete bullshit IMO. The only guy that raced all 31 rounds you put on standby for a guy who nearly got himself black flagged at the previous race. I would like to hear Mike Pelletier speak on why this is the way it went. Looking at Jcoop's Instagram post comments you can see how everyone in the industry feels about this.
They just see things...different.🙃
I’d rather get 2nd with cooper than 1st with Deegan.
Pit Row
JCoop dropped a 9-4 at his last MXoN completely destroying the MX2 class. I’m more comfortable with the known than the recently injured unknown.
I hope team USA puts the number one plate with Deegan right next to your participation trophy at chicken licks raceway.
I just hope Dewolf doesn't whip deegs ass.
So the guy who fines and gives out the penalty for Deegans antics is the same guy who reselected Deegan after being penalized and injured... hahahaha Politics
This post would've been proper a year ago
He had the last two years to prove he was the best 250 rider in the world and this year he’s coming in injured. Hard to say he’s the best in the world.
Teams are final after their bikes are scrutineered...
Well Luongo(sp?) gets paid plenty….
Scrutineered?
Did you not watch the same ama outdoor nationals everybody else did?
I don’t like or agree with Pelletier’s decision here, but I think you have the wrong sentiment.
I did watch the AMA nationals this year. And last year. And the year before that. I did not see de Wolf, Coenen, Langenfelder or any of the other WORLD 250 riders out there with Deegan this summer. I would like to see how he stacks up against the rest of the world.
