Deegan's antics and his future

I'm genuinely curious if any other factory team would be interested in hiring Deegan given the opportunity? Is his transition to the 450 class with Star Yamaha? (I'm assuming so?).

I know last night was a bit over the top, but it makes you wonder, does a team want to hire a rider who gets boo'd for winning and telling the crowd to suck it? Or are they looking a little further down the road and waiting for someone like Davies to hire?

I guess my question is, does his current image and attitude help or hurt his chances to be hired?

His 450 deal with Star is already done apparently. Everything can be overlooked if you're a winner.

He'll get a ride. He's too good not too.

Now, the interesting part, will be when he tries this stuff on people like JA and Barcia. It'll be fun to watch as fans 😁

The men in the 450 class won't put up with his little boy antics on the track  He'll get humbled real quick.

Considering he only talks shit after things go his way he is likely to encounter significant challenges to his methods. When they don't he throws a tantrum or brings up Jesus.

Running his mouth, and aggressive riding. He'll get humbled real quick is my guess.

He chased down the new wonderboy and shoved him out of the way to clinch the title a week early. I'd have done it in a hearbeat. As for his cringey podium stuff it doesn't mean squat and if that bothers you then he is in your head.

Until Danger Dink came along jacking your teammates unnecessarily was not accepted . Now it is defended fiercely. He steered his bike right into Cole when he could have easily cut down. "But he is just a kid." Evidently because he is doing 12YO shit.

He’ll be fine. 

If you think the type of behavior he exhibits is fine I got nothing for you. Payback is hell.

They are definitely waiting for a few guys to retire, or be close to it. It’ll be a bad look getting beat by those dudes who are on their way out. 

Yes he won the title, but his supercross has been far from spectacular. Some fast, lots of sketch, and silly mistakes. At least with his outdoor skills it will keep eyes on the series. Between him and the brothers, sexton, Eli, Prado etc let’s hope we get a couple of years to see some wild racing. So ready for outdoors.

Barcia's 450 career could be a foresight.

How many of you guys have foregone buying a Yamaha because of Deegan?

You may not agree with it, and I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff but we need to accept it. It’s not going anywhere. Antics or not, teams want talent that can win. And everyone on here talks about riders deserving rides because they draw crowds. Deegan has the ability to check both of those boxes.

Biggest thing that teams will have to consider when signing him is whether they want to put all of their eggs in one basket, because no other top guy is signing up to share a semi with that circus.

His antics were he raced better in lapped traffic than Cole did. He caught him and passed him by barley grazing his swingarm and the momentum rolled Cole off the track.   The crowd showed their hate.  He told them to suck it  while he held up a #1 plate.  I'm certain Bobby was proud of him and so was his family and friends.  That's all that matters at the end of the day.  Not some idiots opinion that has never raced a SX and never even won a puny little AMA C class title.  LOL

Have we all forgotten CW2 and his blatant disrespect will talking trash on the start lines? Many are young kids and in time will learn. Us old folks remember Bob Hannah being a loud mouth that was, at times, over top. If you back it up with wins, you're a winner. That is what factories are looking for.

This is what I picture every time the bed bugs defend Deegan's behavior that deep down they know is stupid and counterproductive.

Imagine celebrating winning a title?

You weak asses want to hate on him, boo him, discredit his wins, and on and on. Then when he claps back you act offended. Grow up.
