Yes, he was ragged and wicked fast after passing Hunter. Way more on the edge than I usually see. The ongoing narrative with Jett is that he is running at a pace just enough to stay ahead of whoever. But in 2nd Moto Millville he was really on it, bike kicking around, overjumping. Maybe sending a message to himself too - that he can put it to Hunter or anyone at will. Then crashes not pushing it, with a large lead, and gets trapped by the bike. WTH.

Definition. Rival: a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority. He's currently not in a position to dispute either of the brothers for superiority. For a rivalry to be a thing it requires mutual recognition. Meaning both sides see eachother as meaningful competitors. A one sided rivalry isn't really a rivalry. It's just one person fixating on another who doesn't reciprocate. In other words, if rider A is constantly talking about rider B, and rider B doesn't consider rider A to be particularly significant, you would say rider A has an obsession, not...

*missed every MXoN since turned pro

The media wants a rivalry so that it gives them something to talk about, but for the time being it's non-existent. Maybe next year or the year after, but it certainly not this year. This was a rivalry:

Not making a joke here, but the best rivalry over the last 3 years is Harlan vs Hand. Those 2 guys, no matter the class/bike/venue are always BOTH fighting for the bubble spot. Indoors it's the LCQ, outdoors it's the last points paying position. 250s, 450s, doesn't matter. These two guys find one another on the field of battle and duke it out almost every time Some youtuber with too much time on their hands could review the last 36 months of AMA race footage and have a feature length doco of 2 dudes who were destined to run each...

Deegan is trying to manufacture a rivalry with Jett just as his dad did with Pastrana. Haiden is closer to Jett in talent than his dad ever was to Travis. But he is still clearly not at his or Hunters level just yet. He likes to claim he is improving. But his results are only better when they crash. His level seems about the same as it has all year IMO. Which is still great. But his second place result only occurred after Jett crashed and was pinned under his bike. Jett was 25 seconds ahead of him before then...

Deegan is closer to Marchbanks and RJ than he is to Jett. I'm sure that will change one day, but that's what it is right now. I think he will be very good at the playoffs though

You would be surprised at the understanding of how the bike should be ridden and setup by the legends of the 80's. They also trained like crazy. Those guys are like treasures that are worth their weight in gold. Even so much of the basics about riding to balance the bike and counter what it is doing as well as clutch control were taught by Gary Bailey in the 80's. Those guys like David Bailey, Ward, Johnson, O'mara and probably Hannah really understood the bike and how to set it up. And they were fit.

Technique, analysis, relatability, mentality to name a few. He's obviously damn good at it too. He gets praise from everyone he works with.

On some tracks yes, yesterday nope.

Correction. Everyone whining about everything and everybody on all the internet is ruining the sport.

It wasn't always that way. It used to matter to Americans to prove you're the best by racing the best.

He's sharing 5th with Febvre behind Hunter, Jett, Lucas and Herlings.

He’s easily the 3rd best in the World, sorry in America.

They said one little slip up in the points and Deegan would be right there to capitalize, he's 67 points back......
