Haiden Deegan is back on the 250 and is absolutely flying as he re-adjusts to a bike with a lot less power than the 450 he has been riding for the last month.
Deegan has decided he will defend his West Coast 250 title and not race a 450 in the West Coast, in part due to Deegan wanting maximum preparation time on the 450 to take on Jett Lawrence, Chase Sexton, Eli Tomac, Hunter Lawrence and Jorge Prado outdoors!
But for now, Deegan is hammering the laps on the 250 as he seeks his final title on the 250 ahead of that full-time move to the 450 class in May.
A confident Deegan said on his latest video: “We have one more 250 season, we have to go out and stomp everyone, that’s the goal and then outdoors the same thing, would be nice. I believe I can do it, that’s all that matters.”
On staying on the 250 Deegan explained: “The real plan was always to do 250 supercross and defend my title and race outdoors on the 450. Got to stick to the plan, it has worked this far, you don’t want to get wound up in the hype and move to quick.”
