It’s a fair point that the track was new to him, but he’s a sand guy and that still doesn’t account for the disparity that I mentioned. It seems to me that if Haiden was just pressing through a weak field of old men, Lucas was doing the same, new track or not.

It’s not hard to understand at all. I understand it perfectly well which is why I said that this place is a microcosm of idiocracy when it comes to Deegan. Pretty ironic you’d talk about appealing to people with functioning brain cells when you’ve shut off critical thinking and have instead replaced it with your feelings about Deegan. You are just reaffirming my point that when it comes to Deegan, his haters are essentially letting their personal feelings, and to emphasize, opinions of Haiden, cloud any fair or charitable thoughts they might have on the matter. Lucas goes from last...

You're like a moto-karen.

What about all the guys with Jettital herpes on here acting like ass holes. Why are you guys so hypocritical?

Deegan had faster laps than Hunter on laps 10, 14, 15, and 17. Haiden had faster laps than Jett on laps 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17. So on lap 10, while pushing through the pack, Deegan had a faster lap. The remainder of the laps, Deegan was basically running their pace as the broadcast stated. But none of that matters because you’ll just conjecture that Hunter and Jett were just out there for a cruise, enjoying the sites and sounds, right? It’s interesting to contrast last week where Lucas went from last to 4th, and this week where...

Quite the bubble you live in 🤣

Staying close to the leaders lap times that have a completely open track while using whatever line he had to use in order to be making passes is a huge achievement. Deegan already knows that he is going to end the outdoors in 3rd place but come playoff time and the points reshuffle he is still in contention for that championship.

He was the only other 450 rider in the 2:00 laptimes at that point and when they said it he was running 2 seconds a lap faster than anyone on the track, hence why they said it. Maybe you should do the thinking next time.

Go compare lap times for Moto 1. (I have even provided a link.) While in traffic and moving forward his lap times weren’t sub 2 min like a few of the Lawrence’s but they were very comparable. He was on a mission today and his ride was very impressive. Some of you guys let your hate blind reality.

The Deegan haters are far worse than the so called “bed bugs”. They look like idiots at this point. As far as Deegan, he’s doing awesome. He’s in his rookie season going up against Hunter Lawerence, who is riding the best he ever has, Jett, who even with an injured foot is one of the best riders in the world. He’s beating a 4x World Champion and the rest of the class in his rookie season. All of them are seasoned 450 riders. For context, Hunter didn’t win any overalls in his rookie season, was consistently well back from Sexton...

He would be having a pretty solid rookie season if he wasn’t racing the two best in the world. And yes, I know racing doesn’t work like that. But there has been champions that have had those types of seasons.

He lost by under 4 seconds 2nd moto at Southwick. 👍

If they had said Tomac is running the leaders pace you wouldn't have given a single shit they said it.

I understand Lewis Phillips' frustration with the comments. But I do not understand the reaction, perhaps it is cultural, him being British. Complaints about the performance you are giving are opportunities to improve your performance, they are not complaints against you personally, because obviously these people do not know you. Comments people give may be bullshit but looked at critically they may be a way to hone his craft if looked at insightfully or critically. Unless he feels there is no room for improvement, or that his very audience that listens to him is too ignorant to give input. This...

When the airing of the nationals was all fucked up, the reaction and comments of the "media" tells you all you need to know about the media integrity. Or when the kid claimed Deegan's bike at an amateur national. Or when Millsaps got fired. Or when "Let Broc bye". Or when Emig got fired. Or when RC and Diffey are shitty on a broadcast. It goes on. Many of these people in the "media" know, travel, have meals with, racers, team managers, major sponsors, and the like. For God's sake, Weege and Matthes work for DC. The DC never tells...

What would be nice is for American journalists to learn how to pronounce and/or spell European riders' names. Journalism basics surely?

Actually like listening to pulp most of the time but caught that this week as well. “We’ll talk after the show” or “that thing we were talking about” Definitely gives off almost like giggly high school girl energy when Steve and LP are together. Annoying as it is, it is much more maddening when they just assume because they’re on the inside the rest of us are just stupid.

In a thread about moto “journalism”, you use all encompassing language to play the victim and justify yourself. Then, two comments follow. One from joshd that supports you (completely negating “every time I post, I get hit with negativity”) and asks questions of you. The other calls you out for playing the victim. And you chose to respond to the latter. And with this? (Only further proving the moto “journalist” point) If you are only seeing negativity, maybe check out a mirror mate. Why did you skip joshd’s post?

I like all the different Pulp pods but I have noticed this a lot lately too. It’s annoying. If they can’t talk about something then don’t bring it up. It’s frustrating for the listener and makes the person withholding the information look like an asshole. I get that everything can’t be shared, just don’t flaunt it like you’re some sort of moto wizard who holds all the secrets.
