So is he still on probation or did that end with the ‘25 season. Would like to hear one of the journalist ask the AMA Pro Racing official if this type of riding is acceptable?
No chance he wrecked Macadoo on purpose. Deegan could have EASILY ended up on the ground too and ruined his night, season, career etc.
It's "heel", Whackadoo.
You do realize that the small lines you see on TV are actually pretty deep ruts in real life right?
You definitely have never seen this sport at a pro level in person have you?

I was there in person. That section did not have anything even close to deep ruts.
Lumpy you need to watch more MXGP. They do it all the time.
I remember watching highlights from argentina mxgp a few years ago, it was an mx2 moto i think. There’s a corner that is elevated and the outside is flat and inside is raised, two people were basically side by side through that corner and i thought the guy on the outside was about to get landed on. Those guys in mxgp are fearless.
I get thinking it was intentional. But do you really think he was trying to cross jump, make contact, and clean Wackers out mid air? Not only is that suicidal in most cases, you’re talking insane bike skill we haven’t seen before.
I reckon it was a case of mistaken identity
Because it's Deegan I'm more on the side of thinking the cross jump itself was intentional, but I don't think the contact was (but hey who knows).
I do know exactly what the fallout would have been if the roles were reversed and Whackers took down Deegan in similar fashion. Deegan would have been screaming bloody murder up and down the pits like the petulant little nepo baby that he is.
With all of the goofy takes you post, statistically speaking, you're due for a good one any time now. Keep trying, little buddy.
(I retract my following statement, below. For the sake of bench racing I’m leaving it unedited here)
Did he move over to intentionally take away Mcadoos momentum and possibly preventive a pass? Yes.
Did he intentionally take him out? No..
Did he unintentionally do something that could possibly result in a broken front brake lever and potential loss of championship? Yes.
I guarantee you in Mcadoos mind he owes Deegan one.
So your intention is to move over on someone in the air but not take them out? Sounds legit.
Oh yeah. Moving over slightly and smartly is absolutely a part of the art of racing SX.
However, I just saw another angle and Deegan definitely didn’t mean to move over so much. He got wheel spin when landing the first double and got kicked left from the ruts. He even looks back and I believe that was somewhat of a “oh shit” look. This is a racing incident and although unfortunate, not intentional in my opinion.
This photo shows both Mcadoo and Deegan at the same angle, pointing left at take-off. Also, the commitment it takes to make that triple is instant in real time. It’s not like Deegan could have hit the brakes once he started kicking left.
He’s fighting hard to go right in this photo… but he’s in the rut making him go left. He’s committed to just making the triple at this point.
Here is a photo from the section before the incident. Deegan is pointed left at take off and was able to scrub to the right, staying straight.
Hands down he thinks that's kitchen
42 and 47 on that front number plate looking pretty similar in that situation out the peripherals.
The whips and look back are intentional
He's just too fucking stupid to know it's not Levi.
Insane bike skill we haven’t seen before. You must’ve forgotten J Law.
Okay now explain this one two corners earlier:
Pit Row
Maybe, maybe not, either way it’s an arsehole move.
If Deegan thought it was Kitchen, then the Chef is in his head.
This only proves he wasn’t doing anything abnormal moments later. Thus , proving he wasn’t intentionally cross jumping anyone. He hit a rut, while trying to turn down right on the face (as all these guys do) and the rut kicked him further left. It was a mistake, not intentional.
In this example you use he is able to turn right on the next take off and goes straight.
All of this makes me believe his look back at mcadoo is done so because he knows he messed up and is worried about getting landed on and or colliding. Not looking back to make sure he got the job done.
So what happened on this occasion, another cross-rut?
100%. I'm laughing at the desperation of those saying it was intentional, while ignoring the video showing him getting pushed to the left further than he anticipated.
Watch the footage of this photo in real time and you will see he actually goes straight even lined up the face like this.
Two turns later he did the same exact thing, except he hit a rut on the face and it kicked him further left instead of allowing him to straighten out.
His mistake. But unintentional take out.
100% we are laughing at your defence of him, how would you feel if the riders were reversed I wonder
To be fair Deegan has a habit of looking back after he does something greasy to another rider.
Probably not, but I'm guessing a black eye might.
I'm really trying to like the kid, but it's getting harder and harder
With his talent, there's no need for any BS dangerous riding,it could end badly for both riders, look what happened last time he acted the banana
I'm a super fan, how do you think I'd feel? I think slower riders like McAdoo need to pull over for King Deegan when he's coming through the pack.
But what's that got to do with the video that clearly shows Deegan making a mistake which forced him further left and into McAdoo?
Interesting that everyone's saying that Deegan should've jumped straight.
In the jump prior to the 180, MacAdoo crosses over from the middle to the outside of the landing. Should he also have jumped straight?
In the 180, MacAdoo was a long ways back from Deegan.
When entering this rhythm section, MacAdoo caught up quickly, but considering that the riders in front of Deegan to his right were slower than him, his line choice was correct. MacAdoo should've anticipated where Deegan was going to land, as Deegan was making a pass, and there's no way Deegan would know MacAdoo was there. He was too far back when entering the turn.
This one is on MacAdoo. He should not have tried to pass where there wasn't room.
