It’s already been established that flipping off comes with a penalty…do we see one from qualifying? I wouldn’t be shocked if they took his fast lap away. 

Edit to add: Prado got one license point at SLC. They won’t take away his fast lap. If ANYTHING happens it would just be a license point. 

I’m a way bigger Jett fan than I am a Deegan fan, but if there isn’t a penalty for the finger after the AMA set the precedent with Prado, that’s some bullshit. 

Edited to add: I don’t care that it was Deegan he gave the bird to, it could have been a 3 digit privateer who cost him a heater; the AMA set a precedent with Prado and I don’t want to see any favoritism…even for one of my favorite guys.

So Deegan roosts Jett in the face first then Jett pulls a tear off and speeds up to the next corner and roosts Deegan back. Eh. I don’t blame Jett for not ignoring that but the racing is what counts

Well, when you slowly place yourself in the racing line in front of someone on a heater, of course that person's going to be thinking about you. It's just that most people have the etiquette to move.

I said he's not "in his head". If he was in his head, he would be making mistakes and ending up off the pace. But he was over two seconds quicker.

Then you moved from "in his head" to "thinking about him". Yeah man, if someone was in front of you going 35 in a 55, you'll be thinking of that person too.

Want some help moving these goalposts? lol

What goalpost. I never said Haiden was faster??? And Jett did crash already so there is that and the 1st thing he did after he crashed was flipp off Deegan lol. 

But to your point. Why didnt Jett just go around him? He literally got in the same rut. In that video Deegan "didnt' look back and roost him. Was just ridding around and pulled off. Jett did all the extra. 

I have never once made the claim Haiden was better or faster. I feel like you people who hate Deegan so much just make shit up. 

The funny thing is, you guys end up acting EXACTLY like Deegan in your dislike for him. Interesting development. 

And the truth is he is in everyone's heads. That is why, regardless of the race results, there will be 5 threads about him after the race.

Ferrandis alright after the quali crash? Saw him go down again on the side of the track when trying to regroup.


Also, no Barcia today?

Deegan needs to beat Jett and Hunter straight up...and if he does, he'll know he belongs at the top. And if he can do this...the kid will be frigging unstoppable. It may not happen this season, but when it does, the kid will be lights out.

Haiden Deegan is to Jett Lawrence as Jason Lawrence was to Ryan Villopoto. 🤔

Barcia’s back locked up on him last week, so he’s out for at least this week.

He cares enough to flip him off. Not that I care. I thought it was funny, but he is lucky they like him and wont do anything about it. 

Though they should just to make it even MORE interesting lol. 

I think that had more to do with the roosting and smack talk going on. I don’t really see it as Deegan getting in Jett’s head, just a little competitive spirit between the two.

One was in a race. The other was in a qualy. 

I’m not sure what the ama rule book has in place for qualifying punishments.

Probably the same per Deegan thread. 

I mean, do you see this place. Jett wins and everyone talks about how much Deegan sucks or things he says on social media. 

I'd say yea, you guys cant ignore him lol.

Because Jett doesn’t really give sound bites or take cheater lines for an entire moto. Deegan loves the drama and wants the social media buzz, he really is DivaDeegs ™️ . He even said that he finds racing boring if he’s not fucking with other riders.

Who said I hate or dislike Deegan? I just disagreed with the take that he's "in Jett's head". I love the back and forth, it's entertainment. 

But this is that manufactured disdain for Deegan you get accused of when you simply disagree with an out-there take, like Deegan being in someone's head by pulling all the dumb shit and qualifying fourth, lol. He even said in his post-qualy interview about how much he loves screwing with these dudes and how it's fun for him. 

It's a culmination of things for Jett though. Deegan used his girlfriends song in an IG reel, no reply from Jett. Deegan comes with the shirt before round one, Jett answers with two 1-1's in the first three races. Deegan literally has to place himself in Jett's way in qualifying to get a reaction from him. 

But, to come back around to my original comment, "in his head"? With a P1 qualy two seconds up, I just don't see it, sorry.

Regardless of where you stand we should be thankful. 

Because if it was just Jett and Hunter we know how thats going to play out. Hunter will never make the kind of move to push Jett out of the way. Take that move Hunter put on Deegan moto 2 last week. Hunter would have NEVER done that to Jett. 

Otherwise, without Haiden we would have nothing to watch. Chase is out, Cooper is hurt, Kenny isnt here, Prado aint got it, Eli also hurt and on the tail end. Outside of Haiden we have to wait on the MXGP brother to come over. 

The 450 race would be searching for 3-10th to find a good "story".

Nobody here would deny that Deegan isn't making the class more exciting. I personally love everything that is happening right now. The 450 class is gonna be totally nuts once we have both Coenens and Davies there aswell.

Deegan makes it more exciting in the same way the trailer park boys is exciting. I come for the racing, not the drama 

Tell me you weren't hyped up last weekend during the first moto? And that's exactly what I'm talking about. I couldn't care less for the social media stuff.

Really? You dont see it? SO every week Jett takes time out of his qualifying to interact with Deegan like this? You seriously trying to say this is normal for Jett? 

Look. No one is saying its a negative at this point but Jett is CLEARLY thinking about Deegan now. 

I think rounds 1-3 vs this round is pretty clear man.

I’m a way bigger Jett fan than I am a Deegan fan, but if there isn’t a penalty for the finger after the AMA set the precedent with Prado, that’s some bullshit. 

Edited to add: I don’t care that it was Deegan he gave the bird to, it could have been a 3 digit privateer who cost him a heater; the AMA set a precedent with Prado and I don’t want to see any favoritism…even for one of my favorite guys.

I could be mistaken but I thought the violation was for Prado pulling his arm back like he was about to launch a punch
