Yea I think this kid showed the most poise, acted more like an adult than everyone involved, and has carried himself with class in a situation like this. He’s the one that worked his butt off to save up 17k$ and nobody seemed to care about the 6 months of work it took for this kid to get the money up. Any sponsors that dropped this kid should be boycotted against by all of the little guys who are supporting them! How in the world are any of the “little guys” ever gonna race with these giant teams if situations like this don’t arise? Brennan went about things the right way and maybe it’s not wise to do this but he’s 17yrs old. He ended up getting punished anyways which is complete BS, that’s why you don’t trust these men that tried to intimidate him. Not one of them is gonna do what they said they’re gonna do and he probably should’ve never withdrew that claim imo! Every single person that handled this situation badly, is still going out of their way to make sure this kid pays for making them look bad. Just proving to the world that most everyone’s opinion about this matter was spot on.

After watching the Vital interviews it was obvious Cotter and the AMA rep were covering each other's back.

In situations at AMA races where I've known of a protest taking place the organizer has nothing to do with it , they put it completely in the hands of the AMA official . The playing field is not level. If it had not been a factory bike , the claiming rule would have been inforced without question. Star racing shouldn't have received special treatment.

Cotter/Deegan (senior) had no legitimate reason for questioning the young man, alone. At an AMA sanctioned event, all of their discourse should have been via the AMA representative, who's only reply should have been "he payed the money, that bike is his now." I would also like for the claiming rule to be modified in such a way that once the money is paid, the deal is done, no change of heart possible, if you claim it and pay, it's yours, good or bad deal. If Star want their bike back...negotiate to buy it back.

[@ryry562000]

Brennan said that if they really wanted the bike back then he would sell it back to them. The way that all this went down they should protect the person claiming the bike and keep the name private until the race is over, that way the person can't be bullied into dropping the claim when in fact the person is doing nothing wrong. It's also some bullshit that Brennan dropped the claim and still ended up losing his sponsor, that just shows u that Yamaha had something to do with the sponsor dropping him..The only thing about the whole situation is that Brennan is now asking people for help buying a bike, it just makes me wonder if he really wasn't the one who wanted the bike and maybe his engine builder was behind it

Absolutely! I agree with both of you, the only thing I would add to this is that in my opinion it doesn't matter if he's telling the truth about it being just him wanting the bike to ride or if the engine builder was paying for the technology in the bike or if he just wanted to set it on fire after the race and roast marshmallows on it, rules are rules in racing no matter if you are a factory sponsored team or if your last name is Deegan, whatever his intentions were with the bike matters none because in all rights the bike should've been his with no interference from anybody!

Great lesson for everyone: when making choices in life, think of every single possible scenario, both good and bad. Weigh out all the possibilities and make an educated choice using a 'risk vs reward' & 'probability vs consequence' equation. If someone is willing to suffer the consequences 'if it all goes south'- then by all means, go for it. I can't believe this kids dad wasn't there to ask him "what are you going to do if Yamaha pushes back?" To think there would not be any pushback for " claiming " a $70+k works bike is asinine. Of course there was going to be pushback, duh. All that said, this kid got screwed. Yamaha has absolutely ZERO intentions on letting him ride that bike OR give him two crate motors. If it isn't in writing, then he's screwed. The way Yamaha sees it "the kid tries screwing us out of a works bike-so we don't feel bad about screwing him" Yamaha shouldn't bring that level of tech to AM races if they're not willing to get it claimed.

Kind of a pointless rule if when broken there is literally no consequence. Makes absolutely zero sense to have a rule, not enforce it, and then when it turns into a dumpster fire there are no punishments. And fuck Brian Deegan for going 100% "mini dad". Fuck Yamaha for their part. Fuck MxSports for their part. Fuck AMA for their part. And fuck the kids engine builder for not going and getting the kids dad from the absolute beginning.

I’ve followed this pretty close since it happened…&, although I’m from a different time in motocross...i did Lorettas on Yamaha YZ80s & YZ125s. Here’s what I’ve been able to gather; In Moto #2 outta 3, Evan Ferry’s Foot peg got caught in Haiden Deegan’s spokes and Deegan DNF’d the 2nd moto…Brennan claimed Deegan’s Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha YZ250F after the 3rd moto, to me, that tells me that the 3rd moto was a throw-away moto for Deegan. If _Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha_ was going to test the feasibility of something they weren’t entirely sure about running on their *ACTUAL* pro race bikes…that’d be the time they’d test it. Something I’ve heard multiple times following this, is that Donnie Luce from Yamaha said to Brennan “I know you’re a motorcycle mechanic, but you’re not going to be able to service this engine, neither is he” _[pointing at his motor builder Derek Harris]_ I think that engine had Electronic Valve Control. I bet the camshaft’s have no cam lobes, and the engine timing depends on specialized hardware to connect with a laptop & utilize proprietary computer software….That’s why Brennen or Derek Harris wouldn’t be able to service it…because the hardware & the proprietary software necessary for set up the engine timing…

I’ve been following this story…. I’m kinda just pissed at “Big Sponsorships”. Hayden is a born rider, no doubt. I think they are a victim of their own success. Meaning Yamaha would give him the best bike in the world mainly because he and his family are a marketing gold mine. Sadly it , was Yamaha that made that choice to push it on a young rider who has millions of followers “ can you say “free advertising “. Now as far as Brennan goes he got screwed, not by the Degans But by the marketing people at Yamaha. Sad day for both kids. And both families. In my opinion . Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

[@orphanmonkey1]

I don’t know, I know Brian is from my era, I see him as doing something remarkable for his family and Brennan. You know Brian came from not much, and has had one hell of a run at it. I think as “ The Deegans” from a marketing icon in this market , should save his own marketing value, and do something off the hook.. like I said there is no doubt in Hayden’s abilities, but there are more companies who would die to have Hayden and his family supporting there products.

He had 5 bikes man...you have to weigh that value before making a stink like this one. You can call him whatever you'd like, but you're not man enough to say that face to face talking about me. Lose the coward shit punk.

Who's the Yamaha dealer in Canada the stabbed him in the back AFTER he dropped the claim on their intimidation and threats!!?? Name them so people know who NOT to go buy a bike from in the future!!

They put out a statement saying that they didn't pull anything that the kid is not telling the truth. Who knows. The kids story is falling apart though. Said he wanted the bike to make a youtube video but he just said in this video that he wants to start a youtube, so idk

Did anyone pick up on the bike being placed in Tim Cotters trailer over the evening? He is not a AMA official….he is the head promoter.

I knew they were lying, keep your head up Brennan

According to schofields mechanic he received 2 engines from star racing, trip to California to Ride a Star racing factory Yamaha bike Which he didn't mention on his original videos

[@craigb.5650]

It's terrible for the kid that he lost his sponsor.........but when you know that over the years only a handful of bikes have ever been claimed at LL, you'd have to realize there is a good reason that it's not common place. Whether it's motocross or a 9-5 job, you don't shit where you eat.

[@cjorgie1]

“Good reason”?? maybe…. Bad reason possibly…a reason for sure! I see both sides. I do respect Brennan for standing up to the powers that be! You’ve gotta admit, that takes courage!

[@craigb.5650]

@@cjorgie1 Kids got balls for sure. Guess his dad does as well, since he was all for it

[@richpitty]

I agree now this kid just lost his biggest sponsor for some dumb shit. He went to the race fully intending to claim Hayden’s bike right off the hop

[@justinhughett9828]

Amen!

[@shanereilly5994]

I think star yamaha owes this kid a bike.
