Yeah it's so weird that people talk shit on a kid thats made it his brand to talk shit. Who could have predicted that? 

You said it. A kid. Not a grown man. 

He’s a “kid” to me because he’s the same age as my youngest son, but make no mistake, he’s a grown man.

Deegan will get Jett this year….he is improving every week. Lawrence’s know this..

I dunno about that.  Last 4 motos the gap from Jett to Deegan has been 15 secs, 19 secs, 20 secs and 32 secs.  Seems to be getting further away.

He’s getting further away each week though.

He's not getting any closer to Jett throughout the motos he's raced. Unless Jett gets hurt I doubt he wins a moto this year

I reckon he will get one moto win and all the bed bugs will pretend it’s some changing of the guard.  Then proceed with excuses

If it’s going to happen this year, it’ll more than likely be at Washougal which is arguably Deegan’s best track (at least it was on the 250).

Here is what I saw, HD riding on the very limit and looking sketchy a number of times, if you like, a faster Barcia (both love the rev limiter) 

JL struggling with flow (not his normal smoothness) but still controlling the pace and staying in front.

There’s no rivalry, just one sided infatuation.


Deegan is obsessed with Jett and Jett ignores Deegan.  The end.

Deegan did exactly what I expected Kitchen and the others to do to Deegan last year... get a little desperate and AT LEAST TRY to get by, maybe give it a bit too much gas... we saw what happened with Deegan when he did it but at leat he tried. He really tried.

Kitchen and the other softies only let him by last year, even slowed a little after they let the Master go by...

Of course, my amateur eyes...but it did look like the JL was a bit too fast for Deegan so he had to to take way too many risks that in the end bit him... but again, at least he tried! Props to Deegan!

Lol, they are purposely ignoring him, so they are definitely thinking about him.  Based on what Deegan has said in the past, we know the ignoring is fueling him to work MUCH harder.  He has shown more speed and already finished better than I expected.  He will get there.  I don't expect him to finish behind Jett and Hunter for the next 10 years.  I don't like his style of shit talking, but it is making him rich.

I doubt Deegan will straight up beat Jett this year, or the next, or the next....

We know Jett is not at his best due to him still recovering from the foot injury. Jett only get better each weekend.

Deegan will hit a ceiling and that ceiling won't be enough to straight up beat Jett. 

BTW, I like Deegs, apart from the stupid shit he does witj social media he ain't really a bad kid.

Actually, I hope that I am wrong. I want to see fire works up front.

To answer your question, if I'm wrong then I'll apologize and take the kick in the nutsack.

I’m hoping to see Deegan get a holeshot and Jett a not so great start. Then see if Jett hunts him down.

I just can't get over... if he wasn't heel, if he didn't cheat, if he handed over the claimed bike at lorettas, if he won at des nations,  just how many fans this kid would have right now... he would have mc levels of fans rn... he would have hannah levels of fans.. chit he might even have Magoo levels of fans right now........ 

GT's right, best American rider to come along in over a decade and he's got to be the lamest person alive, disappointing.

Anyway I heard he only got penalized because JT pointed out the line on tv.

Not really impressive when you compare it with a 19 YO rookie who went 22-0 in the same class. Oh I know, "the field was weak"...

@Jettsonator @matze Jett would probably still put at least 10 seconds on him.

You said it. A kid. Not a grown man. 

This isn’t your average kid that came up through the grass roots and nobody ever knew of until a year before he turned pro. No, this is a kid that has been branded and monetized by his dad since he was 6 years old, has been raised to believe that carrying yourself with no class or integrity is ok as long as it pays, and has been the main influence on an entire generation of up and coming riders. He knows exactly what he’s doing. There is absolutely zero child like naivety in that skull of his.  

Additionally, many people will always have a bad taste in their mouth after his dad and Yamaha stone walled the bike claim at Loretta’s a few years ago. It’s clear that they were cheating, even when they probably didn’t have to because, truthfully, he is that good. People don’t like cheaters. Especially ones with big mouths and with zero class. Every other professional sport practically ostracizes cheaters. Some of the fans in our sport seem to celebrate it? 

He’s fast. He’s clearly fit and puts in the work. He’s also doing the exact same thing his dad did and playing the “bad boy” card because it pays. But when he’s gone in 10 years, the entire gate will be filled with little danger boy wannabes and our sport will look more like WWE than ever. To the outsider, moto will look less like an athletic competition and more like a circus, which is ironic since so many “core” fans already think of SX like it’s a circus.

his week-to-week improvements have been impressive ”

Seems like without the 7 times 38 cut the track in the first moto, the second moto looked a lot the the first couple races. Except that this week he also got beat by a 19 year old kid racing his first AMA 450 National.

I’ve never really followed it. But I can certainly appreciate it from a competitive standpoint.

Do you have anything else condescending that you want to add? Or was that about as deep as you can reach into that arsenal of quick burns?
