Haiden Deegan looked a calmer, more respectful and humble rider at Indy riding with more patience and not freaking out when he went down in turn one of moto three despite the crash costing him the chance at the overall win.
Deegan is now 16 points behind leader McAdoo after going 2-1-7 at Indy.
Deegan said:
“It’s a little unfortunate but it’s racing, it happens… I’m not exactly sure how I hit it and just got spit in a 180… It’s unfortunate but you know we have three weeks off now.
We’re going to work hard and I’m gonna come back swinging. We’ve got a lot of rounds left, we’ve got an East/West shootout, which I’m excited for, and the pace is getting there, man.
It’s my first full week of training back and the pace is getting there; we’ve just got to keep improving… [I’m] just grateful to get on the podium and, you know [we’ll] keep pushing forward on these weeks off.”
