For once, Haiden Deegan didn’t pour any extra spice into his weekend via a post-race podium interview. After what could be classified, on paper, as a slump, he busted out with a 2-1 score for an AMA Pro Motocross win at Washougal. He even accomplished this with a key straight-up win over rival Tom Vialle, plus other would-be rivals this season like Levi Kitchen, Chance Hymas and Ty Masterpool had tough days. Deegan didn’t twist the knife this time. He just twisted the throttle.
It felt good to win, but he didn’t need to really use this race as a “told you so” moment. In fact, he was just as pumped about things like a points lead and enjoying an upcoming break as he was the moto win.
“It definitely sucks not winning a moto for a little bit, but, I mean, where I’m at now, I know eventually if you just keep doing what you’re doing, it’ll come again,” he said.
