P68 FEATURE I 2026 SUPERCROSS PREVIEW 250SX Haiden Deegan (1) returns to the 250SX West division aboard the Monster Energy Star Racing machine looking to defend his title from 2025. After the Supercross season concludes, Deegan will make his full-time debut on the 450 at the start of the Pro Moto - cross Championship. On the West Coast Deegan's strongest rivals look to be Levi Kitchen (47) on the Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Ryder DiFrancesco (34) on the Rockstar Husqvar - na, and Chance Hymas (29) on the Honda HRC machine. 2025's 250SX East Cham- pion, Tom Vialle, has since returned to Europe's MXGP series and left the title for the taking. Look for Seth Ham- maker (10), Cole Davies (37), Cameron McAdoo (124), Max Anstie (61), and others to make their way to the top. Two 250 winners from 2025 like Jo Shimoda and Julien Beaumer are sidelined this year due to back injuries and are likely to miss all of the '26 Supercross season. CN Haiden Deegan will try to defend the 250SX West crown before jumping to the 450s for Pro Motocross.
