Lucas and Sasha are both being humble about their abilities. Why does the broadcast feel it a must to continue to pressure them into being arrogant, just enjoy watching the racing and let it be. That question on the podium to Lucas was almost as awkward as the one asked to Deegan about his DNGR nose strip.

Look I get it Deegan sucks. Everyone hates him etc. But if you are going to say he sucks and isn't fast, then you are disrespecting everyone behind him, which is a lot of bad dudes. 

At the time he was 3rd that session. Prado jumped back up at the end. 

It is in fact, OK to say Deegan is fast and some guys are FASTER. 

The kid IS fast.

Yo Katie, it's really really difficult - we're going to 18 different countries on 6 different continents in 2026.

With all the hype, he's been a disappointment. Plenty of great 250 riders have come up and immediately won

Hunter didn't and look at him now. Also, Jett might of, been the best we have ever seen if not for his recent injury. I dont think there is anything bad about his performance on the track. 

The MEDIA has just as much to blame as Deegan in many ways. 

TO your point, I would ask you to build the list of 250 riders that had a better Career on the 250 than Deegan. It's not a big list. 

Again, its totally fine to not like the kid but ignoring reality is just lame.

What reality are you looking at?


This is by far the worst version of Jett we've ever seen. It's Deegan's best chance to beat him. 

And he can't.

I admit, he is fast, top 5 speed. Now can you admit he isn’t as fast as what you expected before the season?

Has anyone noticed watching Deegan lately his riding style is weird on 450, I never noticed it on 250 he looked fine on that but it stands out now on 450 to me. Looks almost like he's hunched his shoulders. They up near his ears (slight exaggeration) Looks like he has no neck when you watch him ride, might be just his gear but it stands out to me now when I see it and I cant unsee it now.

Davies is blowing deegs stats out of the water and he’s racing the same guys except Hunter for one year.

After watching ML this morning I had no idea how off deegans set up has been.  Id say he's doing pretty good for someone not happy with the shock or the forks.

How do you know what "I" expected? I never expected him to be better than probably the best rider we have ever seen right out the gate....

SX is trending that way for sure. But that doesn't diminish his stats. Davies is also crushing Jett's SX 250 stats.

Luongo should take a serious look at that, if you ask me...

I've said it a couple times but losing the Coenen's is huge

Many said the same when they lost Townley, Roczen, Musquin, Rattray, Pourcel and Searle.Others will come through and providing Kay stays and remains an injury free...

Others will come through and providing Kay stays and remains an injury free, MXGP will retain a star!

No doubt. Love MXGP. There was a youtube comment under Vital's press day riding vid complaining. They were whining it was all Coenen coverage and they had never heard of the Coenen's until a month ago. Its like, uh..........just announce louder you know fuck all about the sport

What are you looking at? You just made up a new argument... 

The comment was, "plenty of 250 riders came in and won". Mine was, plenty of 250 riders didn't have to race probably the best to ever to do it their rookie season....

No doubt. Davies is blowing Jett and Deegz stats away. The sport is in such a great position with talents like Davies and Lucas so young on the come up and Jett at the top. Insane battles in the future to come

His rookie seasons in the 250 he never came out the gate winning.

Jett and Deegan set the bar very high in the 250 class obviously and I know, different kind of competition and all that. But so far he's surpassing every of their stats when we compare where they were at that time in their careers. I didn't expect him to improve so quickly in MX aswell. Impressive stuff

I fully expected this from him lol. I just didn't see how someone so talented at sx with his technique, how they couldn't fly outdoors. Plus that moto at Budds Creek last year basically off the couch his 2nd National ever? And he lead almost the entire moto over Deegz and Jo? Cmon. Hes Jett 2.0

Between all the young guys and more and more foreigners realizing they can come over here and compete, I think there's about to be a lot of lovable privateers that have been doing it for years finally decide to give it up in the next year or so. 

I know guys have been coming over here for years from mxgp, but seems like the dam might be about to break when even EMX guys are starting to come over for a few races.

Hate to say it but Shimoda is so fragile lol he seemingly gets injured on every tipover. Deegan gets up from that crash and pushes on 10/10 times.

I thumbs up...but not for Shimoda, but I think Deegan is just amazing at going down hard and picks it up with little damage... is he one of the top pros that have been least injured the last 3 years maybe?
