"He was Sick of it" Is this the REAL reason behind Levi Kitchen's Star Yamaha Departure?

Jerimiah Burton, the charismatic face behind the wildly popular Donut Media KZbin channel. Join us as we bench race some supercross! Is this a wild take? Possibly.. Levi Kitchen is one of the most promising talents in 250 Supercross. Could he win the championship?

Problem is I think Levi and Deegan are actually friends outside of racing. I just think he didn’t liked the crowds and the Deegan fan base surrounding the truck at races. So I don’t think he wants to go anti-Deegan as his friend.

[@davidbiagi2932]

Yeah he explained that it was his fans, not him. He said it was dumb how so many of them don’t even know the sport at all and would call him and smith the wrong names and shit and it was just annoying 🤣 I’m a deegan fan but if I was his competition I’d definitely 1- hate pretty much having no relax time because there’s just screaming fans 24/7 at the rig and 2- if I’m one of the top guys and he’s one of my main competitors, I don’t want him to train with me every day and know my weaknesses or anything. But yeah, as far as him not actually liking Haiden, pretty sure they are good friends, but who knows. Outside of being teammates for a couple years I don’t think they really knew each other that well so maybe he was just being cool since he kinda had to be at the time

Jett pulls the Holeshot and runs away with it, and dictates the race from the front, conserves energy for when he needs it. His RaceCraft is way above Deegs.

Haiden doesn’t act like a punk either. Yeah, he has moments where he gets heated in the middle of a race when something happens but he’s young and when your heart rate and adrenaline and everything is that high and shit happens that you’ve never really had to deal with before, you don’t always act the right way. Other than those few incidents on track, he’s just your normal teenage boy. I think everyone forgets that Levi is 5 years older than deegan also.

I don't think Levi necessarily wants to bring attention to himself, so saying things against Deegan when he has no real beef with him is not really part of his personality.

IMO Levi Kitchen when he knew he was signing with Pro Circuit Kawasaki i think he shared secrets with Kawasaki about bike setups and internals about the Yamaha. If you think about it around the time when the news was anounced all of a sudden the Pro Circuit Kawasaki was finding speed and at times were faster than Yamahas. Now Deegan has to ride on the F@#$ing edge just to keep up with PC Kawasaki. Levi shared something i would put money on it. That PC Kawasaki is on another level now and it all started when Levi announced he was leaving Yamaha. Something is not right and they should investigate IMO!
