Haiden Deegan once again
dominated Saturday's racing
with an impressive 1-1 perfor-
mance. With his closest rival,
Chance
Hymas, out with a knee
injury, the defending champion
was pretty much in a league of
his own. To put it in perspective,
Deegan's qualifying time was
a full two seconds faster than
anyone else on track, and his
best lap in moto one was three
seconds faster than second
place. The number-one rider
went uncontested all day, secur-
eating a lot of roost and had my
work cut out for me. I
ran out of
tear-offs in moto two, so I had

Aaron Plessinger's 4-8, and Coo-

only
good enough for eighth
the race and overall. He's still
second in the championship but
now trails Jett by 38 points.
"It's just Jett and Hunter rid-
ing better today," Tomac said.
"They
had an amazing flow on
the track, and I just needed to be
better out there. It wasn't what
I wanted to do today, but that's
how it goes sometimes."
Justin Cooper and Prado flip-
flopped results, with Cooper's
6-5 earning him fourth overall,
while Prado's 5-6 placed him
fifth.
"I felt like I rode well all day,
even though I definitely didn't
get off the gate today," Cooper
said. "I had to come through the
pack in both motos. So, I was
