After, both riders were asked about racing each other next year and Haiden became pretty reserved with no big talk with Jett beside him as Jett said he welcomed the challenge because it will make him ride better!
Jett said: ” Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I’m always up for new challenges.I feel like when I get challenged where someone does come in really good, I feel like I ride better. It creates a new motivation for me. Obviously, no one wants to lose in this sport, so whenever I lose, I get pretty pissed.I want to come back and I work harder and make sure I have a good jump back the next race. I’m looking forward to it.
“Obviously, the fans want to create a rivalry where the closest in age, I would say, out of the other competitors.I think people are trying to create the RC, James Stewart kind of thing, which is cool. The sport needs a rivalry, and I think it’ll be good for the sport.”
Deegan replied: “Yeah, I’m excited.I’ve got a little work to do, obviously. Those guys are pretty not in the 450 class, so all I can do is work hard, and eventually, hopefully, be up there running with the boys. As of now, I’ve got a lot of work to do, whether it’s a lot or just go out there and put my days in, but we’ll get there.”
