He has the pace?
hmmm.......Stumpy Deegan?
His fitness was supposed to be his biggest strength (no pun intended) going into the season

Average lap time showed he’s almost 2 seconds off per lap though?
He can't maintain the intensity he shows in the first couple of laps.
You won’t win an argument against someone who argues against reality.
He has pace of finishing 3rd or 4th. At no time this season has he shown he can move to the front and remain there
The only people I see improving are Marchbanks, but even GM is still well behind 38.. I could see Marchbanks evolving and getting up to consistent 3rd-5th finishes.. Deegan's handlers are afraid to say what needs to be said.
3rd place might be tougher to obtain if Lucas Coenen lines up as well
RC is... Carmichael... He could win holding on with one hand with the back end swapping side to side, and he could win by flowing around the track. He was unique.
RV steered with the rear but had amazing technique. He rarely looked out of control or loose.
Eli has a bulldog style but he is incredibly efficient.
He will figure it out, if not I reckon freestyle mx will all of a sudden get big again!
Hunter passed him within 4 corners and immediately opened a gap lol. Your boy doesn’t have the pace or speed and deep down you know it’s.
I think your out numbered on that
100%
Physics doesn't care about your feelings.
All his career so far HD has managed to go fast by trying to look like he is going fast. You cant do that on a 450. All the fastest 450 guys in the world, look like they are on a sunday ride to church, and sound like they are trying to do it while not waking the neighbours.
Roczen, Lawrences,Herlings, Prado, all look slower than the guys chasing them .... Gajser this year seems to be revving the nuts out of the Yamaha compared to the Honda and looks worse for it.
They should drop the rev limiter 2000 RPM, and teach him how to ride ( and how the bike needs to be) to turn a lap time, on the money every lap, for 30+2.
'But thats how i ride' doesnt cut it in the big boy class.
Ask Barcia
Yes, that's what Brent Fluffer Duffe said...
I was curious so here are the numbers: he started to match their speed but could not reduce the lap times as much.
It was even wilder in moto 1:![]()
He was able to get that one hot lap but afterwards seemed unsustainable for him.
He's not my boy, I'm not a fan of his antics, but his performance this year has been surprising.
Pit Row
He runs out of steam after 8 laps.
He knew on the 250 he had everyone covered , and he did, but now he hasnt. Not fast enough, and not for long enough, and the harder he tries, the less time he will be fast for. We are seeing that already.
Once you know you arent catching them, which 8 laps in he knows he isnt, its all over. We he improve, no doubt, will it be enough, who knows.
But, if Coenen gets back to full fitness, and Jett gets his full mojo back, and Prado's turn round continues , he could quite easily not win a race for a long time, even if he improves. I dont think that will happen, but i didnt think we would be 10 rounds in and he hadnt led a lap either.
Wow, losing 4-5 seconds per lap after the half-way mark. That's how you end up -:30 by moto's end.
He puts down his best lap and it seems to empty his tank. I can’t stand the kid but is he overtraining or what.
He needs to realize there are more than 2 gears to ride in.
I think Haiden has the fitness. I think it’s his setup that’s making him tired quicker cause he’s having to burn too much energy at the start of races. Don’t get me wrong Hunta & Jett are on another level currently when comes to speed. Haiden just needs better set up and as we know he’s working on race craft too.i think once they figure that out. Look out! Just my take
But him and duffe said his setup was dialed before pala? He use to make jokes about the 250 class who said they still needed to work on the bike, Haiden would say stop complaining and just ride. Funny how that came back around
Have a bike problem? Bring in Chiz the bike whisperer to calm the blue steed 😀😀😀.
Put me on that Honda and it won't look buttery. Ill make it look like 1977 elsninor. Those boys would make any bike look smooth and effortless.
Funny how a lot he has said and done is coming back around, but if you point it out you are a hater or an obsessive old man 🤷♂️
I disagree, Haiden's riding style needs Tomac level of fitness to maintain his speed, he doesn't have the Lawrence's efficient riding style.
I'm waiting for Chad to fix him and his setup
