I don’t care where the rider is from, just how they ride and how they act off the track. Are they fun to watch ride and someone I think is cool or want to see win? I could give a fuck less at this point. Most of these dudes are Americans. Ask Kenny if he’s American.
shhhhhhhhh... he doesnt know mods can see the IPs, print and send in the discord chat for some of us to laugh about it... shhhhhhhhhhh
There's that block feature, use it.
That’s cool man. I appreciate all of these guys and don’t have an ounce of hate for any one of them. Do I want an American rider on home soil to do well, of course. I don’t love seeing mxgp guys come over and give our guys the business. But here we are.

All nice answers, except to the question asked. 😅
I personally think he does great but can image it stings when you write a check you can’t (yet) catch before the mx world watching. His face showed clearly after the races. Wonder if he somehow feels stupid about the shirt now..
Same, no hate for any of them. I would like to see an American win. It was SUPER cool to see Roczen win though. I would really like to see somebody step up and beat Jett.
how would you say his riding style is translating to big bikes? i know he's perfect in your eyes, but what advice would you give him as his #1 fan?
Lucas had absolutely nothing for Deegs, Hunter, or Jett in Moto 1. He closed in on Jett a bit only after both Deegs and Hunter crashed and Jett went in to race management mode. Had Deegs and Hunter not crashed Lucas would have been a distant 4th. He rode smart and benefited with a 2nd overall but he doesn’t have the raw speed of those top 3. Not even close. Deegs had the 11th gate pick for Moto 2 and got a terrible start, he didn’t start anywhere near Lucas or Jett who were both out front right away. “Gapping” people is reserved for when they actually start together or top 5 or 6 at least. Hunter gave it everything he had in Moto 2 to beat Deegs and couldn’t seal the deal, and Hunter is far superior right now to Lucas.
He can keep riding to collect a paycheck I guess… I didn’t know he was that pathetic though
NGL, was kinda sick seeing them jump almost 3 wide for the 1st 10-15 min. Hope to see more of it.
Re-watch the race, Lucas with a mid start was slowly inching up on them. He was 9-10 seconds back with 20 minutes to go and around 5-6 seconds back behind Jett with 12 min to go (that's when Deegan crashed btw). Deegan was on the absolute edge and had to ride at 110% and use his cheater line seven times to keep pace with Jett. He almost crashed twice already before he actual went down. Lucas was only 3 seconds behind behind Hunter right before Hunter crashed, he was consistently turning in better laps than both Deegan and Hunter in the second half of the race.
So yes, without the cheater line (seven times btw) Lucas absolutely blows by Deegan at the end of the moto, Deegan couldn't sustain that speed for the whole moto obviously, just like Hangtown if you remember. He was also right there with Hunter at Hangtown until the second half of the race and then lost pace. The race is 30 min btw, not 15 or 20. Doesn't matter how fast Deegan is in the first half of the race if he couldn't sustain that pace. Lucas whooped his ass and he is just 19, if you can't deal with it, you better prepare yourself to what will happen at Soutwick.
We get it. Lucas smoked Hunter.
Meh. Lucas was weak sauce, although smart. He never even showed Jett a wheel like Deegs did. He had every opportunity to give Jett something in Moto 2 and he couldn’t even sniff the rear wheel much less push him like the boys did in Moto 1. He’s Jorge 2.0 and he’s gonna get destroyed in SX so maybe prepare yourself for that. Unfortunately, Southwick is only once a year, should be fun though.
Instead of watching the race, look at the laptimes.
Deegan fast lap: 2:02.678 Average Top 5: 2:03.947
Lucas fast lap: 2:03.439 Average Top 5: 2:04.074
Deegan had the fastest lap in S1, S3, and S4. The only one Lucas was faster in was S2. Out of the 8 laps before Deegan's crash, Deegan was faster in 5 of them, including lap 8.
The facts don't comport with your narrative.
You didn’t expect a multi time 250 champ to finish Pala?
I don’t think 18 likes Washougal. Of all the tracks he seems to struggle there the most. I could 100% be wrong, though.
🔥
Did Lucas keep it on two wheels for the entire moto?
Pit Row
Yeah and I think he also didn't get penalized 7 positions for cutting the track 7 times
Deegans lines at Thunder Valley
Deegan can join the club of riders who showed Jett a wheel, then proceeded to still lose the moto.
And then from lap 9 to 17 (the final lap), Lucas was faster every single lap. In fact, on those laps, 9-17, Lucas only went above 2:06 once, whereas Deegan only went below 2:06 once.
Deegan was faster up front but blew his wad too early.
Of course he was, Deegan said his bars were bent after he went down.
That’s a very small club. And he’s there in his third race. If you truly believe Jett is what you all say he is, then you can’t deny that it’s incredible for Deegs to be there already. Hunter couldn’t even show Jett a wheel yesterday.
Bars bent.
*Check.
Another excuse for the thread.
Dude was toast. He was going all in to pass Jett, aint no way he couldve hold on to that pace. He really looked "dangerous" going that fast, like in danger to crash hard. But I also think that was the reason he fell, he was just spent and pushing too hard. His cut tho was at least worth half a second, if not more.
Deegan fans, don't take it so hard...
It's a joke Not a penis....
Are those lap times from the moto he was cutting the track?
Deegan has speed no doubt. What’s happened in the last four motos is that he’s sprinting at max speed for 15-20 mins just to keep up; no one can do that for 30+ so he fades in the last 5-10 minutes. The Lawrences know that, they probably aren’t even too worried if Haiden passes them because they know he can’t sustain it and they’ll quickly get him back.
In the last four motos the gap from Jett to Haiden has been 15s, 19s, 20s and 32s. Getting gapped by that much isn’t trivial; Haiden will probably improve but so will Jett as the season progresses.
Yep
Its not Hayden coming up with excuses.
He just says that he is making progress and learning.
Never complains about the track or about his bike.
