Deegs has shown skills on the 250, but 450 is a diff animal.  Will take Deegs 1-2 years in SX + MX  to get used to the 450.

The Deeg comparison to Jett is not merited at this stage.  

We should be comparing him to jett during his last season of 250sx.....people were calling for jett to be unreal on the 450 (and he was), deegan has better 250 numbers, yet people are saying " welcome to the big boy club you're gonna get bullied, you dont know how to ride a 450, he wont come close  to the top, he wont have anything for these guys, etc etc"

it makes no sense

Lets be honest here, the first time we saw Jett on a 450 he beat Chase straight up at MXoN twice.

The first time we saw Haiden on a 450 he got 4-6-3 for 3rd overall at WSX.

Yes, Jett was MX and Haiden was SX, but Haiden didn't exactly light the world on fire....

He didn’t set the world on fire in his first SX Futures race either and we have seen what he has done since….so I don’t think that’s a fair barometer of what he is capable of…

Jett was too scared to race a 450 in supercross at 19!!!

Carson Brown would top ten an MX2 moto, change my mind

He's 27, so he won't ride top ten in the MX2 because he to old to start. But if he's up to it and Red Bull wants it, he can enter the 125cc class in the Dutch Championship and I bet you that he won't make the top 10.

I get this is bait #2, but making your 450 debut at MXdN is as ballzy as it gets.

I agree he is capable of becoming a spectacular 450 rider, his progression has been overwhelming, I just don't think he is going to come in this year and dominate from the hop like Jett did. I think top 5's and a podium or two are likely for 2026.

Idk, I've seen Jett decimate the whole field (MXGP and AMA) multiple times. Deegan was even too scared to race De Wolf and Lucas at the MXON. Deegan is on top of the 250 AMA class, not on top of the "racing world". Not yet.

Not Kay right now (after his thumb injury two months ago) but Lucas is definitely faster than Deegan on the 450. I honestly think Nobody’s touching Lucas right now, maybe Jett will if/when he’ll be fully fit after his injury but that might not happen this year. I would love to see Lucas going to Southwick this summer. I think he’ll do what Herlings did at Ironman back in ’17.

Lucas had nothing for Jett at Ironman. Lucas has obviously improved since last year though

It’s almost like some of these guys didn’t follow the sport until Jett started racing…remember the 72 win threads…many of these guys in this thread were leading that charge. I think Jett is a phenom but some of his fans are insufferable…

That’s a good one, and just like Jett, it was an indication of what was to come. Dunge is an all timer. 
I stick by my original comment; making your 450 debut at MXdN is as ballzy as it gets, no matter who you are, including Tom Covington.

The Outdoor Warrior won't be competing in the 2026 AMA 450 MX Championship due to a chipped finger nail suffered while buying a large Big Mac Combo at his local McDonalds.

I admit I only listened to it once so you are no doubt correct but I probably also put two and two together after I watched a Searle vlog, where they were talking about the season and Herlings was talking Switzerland and all the chains and he said that Lucas was gonna win and that he was easily faster and then he looked at Tommy and goes "He's good man" Which I'll admit doesn't seem like much now I see it written down.. but it was the way he said it haha

Either way I do like this, seemingly new open Herlings haha

I think Vialle being a “guy” in MXGP says everything we need to know lol

Semi retired Guillod and Paturel on loan bikes in top 10 outdoors last year tell quite a story too. 

At least we fill our gates here. All the talent in the world wants to be in America, wonder why?

Try walking on the moon

I love AMA outdoors and more and more europeans competing over there, however that was not the subject sir. As for the facts on topic: we know Guillod, Paturel, Kullas, Butron, ect are 3-4th tier in Europa and had good results in AMA and for now we do not know how Vialle on the Honda 450 would do in AMA. 🤠

Congratulations, but that does not change my mind on Paturel, Guillod, Kullas etc.

Non of the above guys could "ride a dent in a package of warm butter" (Dutch saying) in MXGP anymore and went to USA as Journeymen with a dream to have ridden some races in America.

I learned on this forum that USA and the BIG outdoors is the "hart of Motorcross", so hoovering around (and breaking in) top 10's for them are good results to me.
