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. 
 

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...

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.

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. 

 

Eh, thinking about someone isn't the same as worrying about someone. If there's a fly in the kitchen, sure, I'll notice it, but I'll just swat it and keep cooking.

All that being said, I'll gladly eat my words if Deegan outperforms Jett today, we'll see. I'm not really a fan of a particular rider, but I am a fan of some good racing.

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

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

I thought so too

It was for the finger…notice the “during competition” part. The goofy fake punch was after the race ended.

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 was just saying they happened in different scenarios. 

i don’t know if the rulebook differentiates between the two. Was Prado penalized for the finger or the threatened punch?


Should Webb be penalized for his finger guns?

I don’t really care, just want to see good racing.

The finger was also after the race ended though

Jett is a god-like talent, who also happens to be very human.

Ah yes, because we always see Jett flipping off all the other riders he is competing with regularly...

a pissed off Jett is something we haven't really seen outdoors. In fact, it's quite the opposite. He gets a lead, gets a 4s gap, and just chills out. I wouldn't be surprised if he smokes Deegz by 30s just to prove a point. And then Deegz will whine about something...as always. Today will def be interesting.

Yup

And thru it all…pulls off an under 2 min lap.

Honestly, for me…the most entertaining part is how worked up some fans get 🤣

I bet he gives Hunter the bird daily. If that’s what you meant by other riders…

He already did smoke him by 30 seconds. It was a week ago.

Sat waiting for the racing to start, instead of just looking forward to it like the past 30 years, I'm hoping some spoilt kid doesn't injure anyone else by racing behind him and taking people out because his feelings got hurt 😅

With his talent, fitness, style, hard work, all that good stuff, if his parents had done some damn parenting once in a while he'd have been universally respected and have at least one less self inflicted injuries...

i hear ya, but it involved a crash. Just saying that if Deegs is on his ass at the start, I predict Jett goes full nuclear mode and just crushes him and let's him have a DISTANT 2nd/3rd. Yes, again.
