Video: Deegan and DiFrancesco collide in mid-air!

It had been the battle many wanted to see as amateurs but, just when it was about to happen for the lead in Washougal, leader DiFrancesco and Deegan collided in the air with Deegan effectively landing on a sideways GasGas but somehow getting away with it as Ryder D ended up on the ground and the battle was over as quickly as it began!
