It was one race, it didn't obliterate any narrative. That's just things you tell yourself so you have a comfort blanket.  By far and large, Deegan has dominated the class, and no one can deny that.

I think this season if Deegan and Cole could race without worrying about winning a championship and simply race with each letting it all hang out, I think Haiden wins 6-7 times out of 10 races.  Cole said numerous times this year on each east west shootout (except for SLC), he was solely focused on winning his championship and didn't want to focus on anything else.  Not sure why Deegan fans can't accept that fact.  Cole wasn't giving it 110% earlier and wasn't going to risk going down or getting injured.  I know that's a really hard pill for Deegan fans to swallow.  SLC was the only race this year where they could both race all out with no fucks given on the race outcome in terms of crashing.  And, look who came out on top.  Best 250 race of the season, by far.  Cole ran him down, roughed him up Deegan style on the pass, and won the race.  Deegan tried 2-3 times to catch him and rough him back up and ended up crashing out.  Davies made a statement.  I still believe Deegan wins 6-7 out of 10 races against Cole given their age and race experience.  But if you look at where Cole is today versus where Deegan was at Cole's stage of his career, Cole is ahead.  Same for comparing Cole to Jett.  Cole is a freak.

No doubt. I just stopped wasting my time responding to the so called super fans. I actually like Deegan but I also like calling it like I see it. Davies was on it. Gets me excited for the next 5 years of this sport.

Only in SX. Deegs was a beast in outdoors from day one and was in title contention his rookie season against Hunter. Cole needs to start winning outdoor titles this year in dominant fashion to be on Haiden and Jett’s level.

This will be Cole's first full mx season. Neither Deegz nor Jett were dominant in their first mx season. Hunter spotted Deegz about 50 points. He wasn't on Hunter's level outside of Washougal. 

It’s Cole’s second year as a pro. Deegs dominated outdoor by his second year. So did Jett. In Deegs’ rookie MX season he was only -3pts down on Hunter after he eviscerated the class at Washougal (Rd8) and then his bike blew up at Unadilla the next week and he DNFd. If his fortunes worked out differently he was very much in contention for that title.

"Title contention" is generous. Finished nearly 2 motos back in 4th place overall on the season. Hunter also DNF'd 2 motos.

I'm sure it felt close for a moment mid-season to some folks...

He was only -3pts out of first in the points after round 8 until he DNFd at dilla the next week. If -3pts from first with three rounds remaining isn’t title contention, then I’m sorry for interrupting, carry on with the meth.

I think getting punted by Deegan last year was the best thing to happen to him. He went from fast amateur prospect to fast rookie who was stoked to be there, to race winner and potential championship winner in his rookie year. 

He started off this season with an arsehole attitude which many including me wasn't a fan of, but I get it. Had he played things a bit different and a few things fallen his way, he could have been champion last year. It was a wake up call that not only does he have the talent and speed to hang with/ beat the top guys, he can't fuck around and needs to lock in and that's exactly what he did. In 2 years, he's going to be a problem for everyone in 450s

Agree with ya about last season and you know he didn’t forget about it. I don’t think he has an attitude, just seems like a small neuro quirk. Almost reminds me of Tomac and how he also comes off as robotic. Cole clearly doesn’t like to have to go in front of the camera and that is projected every single race.

The problem is that everyone calls it like they see it, and everyone sees it differently.

I don’t think that’s the problem at all. With a name like Superfan 38 and anyone who has an actual clue about racing knows Deegan got his ass kicked, I think I know what the problem is

Leave it to the bed bugs to somehow make everything about Deegan. SMH. Good ride Cole, and also impressed how Deegan took it on the chin, seems like he’s growing up, even if the bed bugs aren’t.

The opening post made it about Deegan when they mentioned Deegan. But hey, when you are a winning machine like Deegan, and then lose one, people are still going to talk about you.

I think it's funnier that a grandpa like you has his own folder with just edited Deegan pictures. That's almost adorable

It's a big folder, too.  Takes up most of my hard drive space.  But who doesn't have folders on their computer?  I'm not gonna ask you what's on yours because I don't want to know. Probably creepy stuff. But I'll tell you this much; I named my Deegan folder, "Meme Master Deegan Making Grown Men Cry".

Still reads as a bully pretending to laugh along so he’s not the butt of the joke to me.  The look on his face when he tries to laugh it off always seems forced.

His whoop speed is like playing a video game and just keeping the bike WOT and just leaning back. His ability to just fly through them is impressive, among other parts of his riding ability

This post isn’t the burn you seem to think it is. All you managed to do was to make yourself look even creepier  than you already have.

I would have said that too (Haiden wins 7/10 head to head), prior to this last race.  

I think the intimidation factor was removed,  and without that factored in, Davies is at least as fast (in 250 SX) as Deegan.

He raced a couple rounds last year after coming back from rj landing on him. Won a moto straight off the couch. Cole is far from middle of the road. You will see.

Speaking with his former trainer Ben Townley, he explained to me that the plan was to make him a SX rider. He won't do as good outdoors right off the bat, but that moment will come. And given his riding style, he'll be a top 450 rider as a rookie. The future is great for him.

Just for the sake of conversation, is it harder to become well rounded as an SX specialist (MC?) or for an MX specialist to become competitive at SX? 

Cole may be a grinder but I wonder how many of these 250 kids consider themselves to be better outdoors?
