Not many I can recall. Mike Alessi received much attention, especially after standing on Tedesco’s bike. Vince friese probably is the champ in regards to longest running but not by volume.

You’re not wrong but you will get a massive amount of downvotes for saying anything positive about him. Deegan has intentionally polarized himself for clicks and attention. I really hope this isn’t the common strategy for future young talent.

I know everyone really wants to believe but I dont think Tomac has it. He reminds me of Valentino Rossi towards the end. You would still see flashes of the magic but the younger guys just kept getting better while he just kept getting older. Even if he recovers 100% and is still motivated I cant see him worrying Jett, Hunter, Deegan and Chase (provided he works out the Kawi and himself.) Id love to see it and watch him have one more big crack at it. But im struggling to see it.

Outside of the penalty moto this past weekend there has been exactly one American to finish ahead of him in any moto. Pala Moto 1 when J Coop got 3rd and Deegan got 5th. Deegan has only improved since then. If you don’t think he is the fastest American 450 rider you are letting your dislike for him blind reality.

I know what you are saying and yes Lucas beat Deegs on a track he's never been on in country he's never been to but he has way more time on a 450 than Deegs. On the other hand, Lucas had to be careful because his job is in MXGP not here. I just countered my own comment.The Coenen brothers...
I know there is a lot Deegan haters and I understand why. When he moved up from 250s he was the fastest by far and now 3rd in the standings in the 450 class and now he is the fastest American out there. He has been humbled but he did show the brothers he can go as fast as them...

Your comparison to Jett, didn't Jett get hurt his first SX A1 while fighting for first. Last year he got hurt at Hang town and missed the outdoors. This year he got hurt and missed SX season. How'many series has Deegan missed because of injury? I think Jett is probably the best rider out there but he's missed two series...

You're right about J Law, he did have a few good seasons. At that time he was my favorite rider. If he could have stayed out of trouble, In my opinion, would have won more titles.

J Law was very talented and very fast but to compare Deegan to him is ridiculous. The cocky attitude and trying to get into people's heads. Yeah I see that similarity except J Law only had one good year and won a title where tegan's been fast and consistent for 3 years. J Law got in trouble for rolling a...

Great conversation and to be honest I see everybody's point. I don't want mx to become a circus, but I do like a little personality in the sport. Bob Hannah,who had a few nicknames one of them being Trouble.I remember at Anaheim SX he had a hard time passing RJ so when he did he looked back and flipped him...
