DEEGAN'S LAST 250
RACE … SORT OF
This was Haiden Deegan's last
race in Pro Motocross in the
250MX division. It's already been
announced he'll race full-time in

also compete in the 250SX class
in Supercross next year.

gained speed towards the end.
After the race, Julien requested

the second race, Julien ended up
having a big wreck right in front of
