If he makes his 1st 450 main he will already be starting ahead of Hunter. Its a extreme low bar for that one!

I can't say I blame you for leaving. Get rid of the Deegan haters and this place would instantly get better. They jump in a ruin every thread they can.

I miss GuyB, he didn't let trolls run around and ruin the place.

All you have to do is get two posters out of here and this place gets significantly better.

For me the constant anti Deegan folks/threads are dragging this place down..It’s like folks are personally affected by him..maybe that’s just today’s society.

So I guess Prado is trash then? I remember Deegs beating him most of the outdoors this year as a rookie.

The hatred people have for HD38 is mind boggling. People are pissed he’s not going, people are mad that Star won’t send bikes (when they’re sending bikes to multiple WSX events), people think he’d get lapped anyway. Get over it people. He got offered wheelbarrows full of money to race WSX and doesn’t want to ride MXON. The Lawrence’s aren’t going and don’t hear people getting so mad that they can’t sleep at night over it.

Random thought/Question... Average NBA salary is $10-12m per year (google said so). Number of Games in an NBA season is 82 (google also said so)...and I would guess most players aren't able to play in all the games. So when the Olympics come around and an NBA player declines the offer to represent Team USA, are they hated as well? A POS? It's just 1 event (with weeks of lead time in preparation, travel, etc). Deegan is a successful grown ass man who has a 10yr (on average) window to max out a career...4 of which are basically complete. Why...

Paul is also extremely biased because he's so close to the team. Kellen said on BMP that in front should pay a purse or the companies that make their money on this sport should pay for it. That's not the riders or the teams. That's Monster, Yamaha, etc to leverage this to make money. Also everyone knows in front makes a shit ton. Probably 5m plus in profits from this one weekend alone. The GP riders show up because it's the promoter of their series. This gives them leverage over the riders in their series showing up. They don't have...

This is a stupid take. Deegan isn't getting lapped at Ernee. lol.

Well he’s rival enough for: Australia and all its posters can’t say Jett’s name without Deegan We should do a thread count with how many times Deegan has been mentioned since the start of the outdoors. The OP thinks he’s “rival” enough to compare him to Hunter (like countless other threads)

Ah so AGE DOES matter now?

All guys he consistently beat....

Certainly helped Hunter that Jett was absent for half of that MX season with injury.

Hunter was 24/25 when he debuted on a 450. Deegz is 20. It definitely makes a difference

Yawn, outdoor specialists talking shit to a guy who spends more time training for SX then outdoors.

Coenen is like the fastest rider on the planet, the wolf is fast but Coenen is next level like herlings in early years. Herlings is lucky, Coenen leaving mxgp Coenen in 2027 is unstoppable

Coenen has already zeroed out just as many races and is in 4th.

Take away injuries and he'd be in 8th, one spot behind the guy that had nothing for Deegan outdoors in the US. It's a weird flex, unless there's some inside joke or history I'm missing.
