No way. Far more talent then Peick
Peick did catch the current SX champ in that second moto and was as good as anyone on track at Hangtown bar Tomac and Marvin, maybe just throw Barcia as a slight step above the rest he did go 3-3
I would think Dean would slide right in around the Barcia to Peick group, I think you might be underestimating how good Peick is and has been all this year.
Dean is not bad at SX, he did finish second to Brayton two years ago and from memory was the only rider to take a win from Brayton that season after catching and passing his team-mate that year, Dan Reardon, another very handy SX rider.
Not quoting your post on this obviously, but for those who think there is no other talent in MX1 this year, that is a bit Harsh, Gibbs was pretty dam handy at MXoN last year for us and Metty is world class, just things not going his way. I would put Dean at the best he has been at, would be really interesting to see where he would have fitted in at Hangtown, my bet would have been a top 3-5 finish overall. Aint no one catching Tomac and Marv on the weekend, well apart from maybe Herlings HA.
Think the next Aussie other than Lawerence and Beaton who is doing well in MX2 in the GP's is Mitch Evans, Young and was able to hang with Ferris for quite a bit of time on the weekend.
