Max will be a legend if he snaps a tib/fib on DangerDouche. I'll start a GoFundMe for him if he does it.

That’s a bit too far.

Deegan's an entitled little twat, but snapping his leg seems a touch excessive.

No doubt Deegan will do worse if he continues to go unchecked. He already broke Schock's collarbone, tried to injure Kitchen and Shimoda at SMX, and his crossjump last week on McAdoo could've been much worse. 

I find it interesting that everyone accepts motocross is a dangerous sport with these inherent risks, and Deegan can go out there and cause injury, but anyone who says he deserves it back is going too far.

We still doing open letters at Vital? Won't ever catch me appealing to a rider in such fashion, but damn is it entertaining to read!

Facts. He'll end up being a bigger asshole than Alessi. Definitely a record breaker.

What about the collarbone? Some redemption for Coty Shock at least?

Do you just inject pure hypocrisy into your veins every morning or sum? You whine about deegan gently passing schock(his collarbone was already broken btw) and riding kitchen rough after he took him out costing him a championship and causing deegan to ride dirty vs Jo to have a chance. Now you want deegan to get taken out and injured. You are literally insane lol.

So is retaliation a good thing or a bad thing? Or is it only bad when deegan is the one retaliating? Same with aggressive riding. You cheer when Levi takes deegan and himself out, costing deegan a championship when Levi wasn’t even in the hunt. Then you cry when deegan so much as touches a knobby on someone tire 😂

Also, deegan got cross rutted last weekend, but I’m sure you know that.

The pass on shock was very minor, nothing crazy at all, and it was the last turn on the last lap. Also shock was already injured deegan didn’t cause that.

Nah, the sport is dangerous enough as is. Saying someone should deliberately injure another rider isn’t okay in my book. Now returning the favor with a proper and maybe even unnecessary block pass is another story.

I’m not a fan of Deegan his way of agressive riding at all, but come on.. Anstie (with all of his experience at this age) should have known better at this stage of his career. Upcoming races will be interesting though😂

Max should have a chat with his dad. No one in the late eighties and nineties wanted to start next to him or be near him on the track.

Hard for an English gentleman to stoop to do that.... But 007 for work also had to do it. So ... let's say DiDee (DirtyDeegan), he's calling this thing.IMG 6633 4

Max's only mistake was thinking his teammate might have a sliver of decency somewhere inside of him. Bet he doesn't make that same mistake again. 

Notice the 450 podium guys all go back and forth and race each other hard without being little cunts about it? 

Deegan will be humbled. Going to be up to him how many championships he's willing to cost himself before it happens.
