What 450 title has Chase won when his main competition was healthy? Eli crashed out of SX to hand it to Chase, just like Jett has this series. Remember, Chase has finished in front of Jett 3 times in 32 moto's, all of those while JH18 was riding injured. Be honest with yourself for a minute, and think about it. And I am not a Chase hater, just love seeing good racing, and whoever wins, props to them.

I mean has he done much though? Any championships? He did get a supercross right? Genuinely asking. Seems like it’s only if the top guys are out. Kinda like Reed. Always number 3 to Ricky or James. Chase seems like the modern Reed to Eli and Jett to me.

When the Big Man On Campus goes on holiday, everybody needs to up their swagger. Someone besides a 450 rookie (Hunter) and Chase need to step up.

Looks like deegan went down. Dude is trying to hard. Needs to learn to ride smooth when you need to,

Was completely inside the markers though.

inside the markers, did you not watch the same stream as all others?

Just imagine if Jett is out now and Sexton starts losing to another Lawrence.. I would be surprised if he doesn't win, but would be kinda comical

Now Chase is on his way to a 2nd 450 championship where he'll win due to others injury, it's crazy how it works out sometimes. You gotta be in it to win it!

Hunter has been damn solid this season, I don’t really see him off the box, whereas I could easily see chase getting a random 5th here and there..

I love the kid for a couple reasons. First and foremost he rides mach 3 with his hair on fire late in motos when everyone else is loosing their edge. Second he says things that really rile up the natives especially on this board.

I definitely like the kid , but stupid people don’t like him because he has some attitude ? Who cares, great for the sport and great show. Keep it up !

1-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2....his results sure have suffered....

He's Bob Hannah all over again. From riding on the ragged edge, to late moto domination, all the way to trash talking/poking guys in the ribs on the podium. Couldn't stand the kid as an amateur as I assumed he was just a spoiled rich kid who hadn't earned anything. I was wrong...it all changed for me last year seeing him ride in person at Washougal. Also impressed with how he interacted with his fans (especially the young kids)...big fan ever since. Sometimes the podium speeches can be a bit cringe worthy, but shit...he's 18. I can't imagine the dumb...

He has a 42 point lead after 5 rounds.

Who cares? Let’s just enjoy watching Deegan ride the way he does. His balls to the wall style is fun and impressive to watch. I’m surprised they can even build an engine to last a full moto with how hard he rides.

This is literally the OP.... "Title says it all, who do y'all think is the best 250 rider in the world right now?".....I certainly don't see anything mentioned about sand....

I agree... I think it was more based on that's his best track in the US at this point. Or more importantly, it "was" Deegan's worst track. Deegan is growing week by week and his craft is advancing at a very fast pace (pun intended). There are certainly tracks where DeWolf and the Coenen's would be a good race for Deegan and maybe a Lommel where Deegan might not be a good race for DeWolf. But overall, I think Deegs goes 7-3 if they race 10 times. He's absolutely stepped it up. Check the Southwick moto lap times if you...
