Will this be the 250 Battle of the Year?

[@scottpeters8640]

While it won't happen, as we would have heard already, I have loved to see Deegan race a Star YZ 125 just for fun and for the fans.

[@TheTidalwaveDave122]

Another STELLAR show! Tidalwave Dave approved!!!

[@cantthinkanameup]

Considering kenny is one of the very few to give Jett a run for his money, I think its safe to say he will absolutely give Haiden all he can handle. Do I believe he has the fitness to go the distance full moto? No, I dont. I think ultimately Haiden will win, but I think the first 10-15 minutes will be a battle 100%

[@motoxmatt]

Thanks Josh!

[@BeauNeeley]

it's going to be exciting to watch.

[@vwgtdturbo]

i dont understand why people think than a old rider roczen that raced 12 years not a 250er and now he beat the 250 champion?? i think maximum place 4 -6

I am so looking forward to this race. I cannot wait to see what the outcome is. Haters are going to hate either way and if I'm honest I'm happy either way cuz I like both guys

[@bigironjakesd619]

I love watching your videos and bike reviews and shootouts. Im really looking forward to see you do a review of the 2025 yz250f. When do we get to see that?

[@jeffluehring2345]

That thing sounds Nasty!!

[@justwatching6186]

Tomac update: 2025 SX, MX and SMX will be his last year. Looks like they’re getting ready to move Deegan up to 450 in ‘26.

[@jamesbatey598]

Never know what Kenny will do it wouldn’t surprise me if he hole shots and leads the race it wouldn’t surprise me if he won I don’t think he will but you never know so it makes this weekend exciting can’t wait

[@HopOFFmyGlock]

It’s things like this that make Kenny such a bad ass.

[@chriss7930]

Kenny and haiden should high five each other on the gate. Then when the gate drops let them all go then go off together and have there own race and come through the pack whipping and just have good clean fun race with each other! That would make the day

[@shaynebrown131]

I think Kenny will be lucky to podium lol, these kids are fast

Deegan is on a streak. He won outdoors! Kens probably not use to a 250. I see Deegan placing better

[@chamisi]

Deegan will smoke him and 94 will say Deegs is faster than Jett

[@RossJurd-lf7gc]

Go kick start Kenny show the kids how it's done see ya on the podium don't forget to wash the mud out of their eyes with the champagne mate.

RM ARMY for life!!!!!!!!!!

[@flcowboydc]

Chance needs to ride in his abilities and NOT push his self to Harden’s Ability because he WILL keep crashing! That’s just like Tom pushing to Harden’s level and that’s why Tom keeps crashing!

[@chasebarcia7158]

Are you a professional? 😂 why you giving them advice haha

[@donmiller2246]

he might get a top 5 if he holeshots

[@ScubaSteveCA]

Why would Deegan risk the next championship to be 1st? I would suggest to limit the risk of injury

[@foxx2792]

kenny will rip the 250🔥

[@timothygood5317]

Roczen has a chance at a top 5, but if he's pushing the pace beyond that on an unfamiliar bike, either the bike will have issues or he will- hopefully not the latter.

[@Stephenlessard33-zj5tm]

250s are not only most fun to ride but I see the big bore class dying compared to the fan uprise in lites and amateur races.. is all the hype and glamour over with dirt bikes? Like we seen with the snowmobile industry and x games motorsports?

[@icygellianda3360]

Its Kitchen vs Vialle

[@timw4369]

Deegan will win he already has the championship now it's just about wins. No pressure

[@abpob6052]

Ken will be lucky to break the top 5 but unlike the other top riders he will have fun doing it.

[@blubug768]

An old rider not used to his ancient bike coming off an injury vs the champ on the most powerful bike in class... hmmmm 🤔🙄 Top 10 for KR no doubt, top 5 would kind of surprise me.

[@chasebarcia7158]

Facts

[@christopherfowler1549]

You do understand the bikes are no where near stock right. Power is probably close, and why would you need electric start on moto, you're not cranking the bike before the start. The bikes are not the issue

[@dbmbrbkb]

I am a big KR Fan. I saw him riding here in germany since he was a child. I think the injuries he had duing his career, had ended riding of 95% of all the other riders. He came back every time, but he lost his killer instinct on track which Deegan already has. Deegan is young, he is not a father and on his prime. KR comes back from a long injury break. I think KR can finish in Top 10, at a good day maxbe Top 5. But Deegan is actualy out of range. Greetings from Germany.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

The million dollar question! 😂

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Old man strength every day in the first moto. Technique alone puts roczen ahead. Why do you think they have em move up?

[@aaron-fauth]

Kenny can keep up with Deegan. But let’s wait until he’s on a 450.

[@doglover136_]

It will be cool if Kenny has the pace of haiden and they battle, but who knows if haiden is in cruise mode vs normal race mode, and depends on the pace kenny has

[@jpesicka492]

He wrapped up the championship so there’s no reason to cruise. He has just as much reason to go fast as everyone else considering. And on the other hand, if Kenny didn’t think he could compete I don’t think he would waste his time, other than what Josh said calling it a publicity stunt. I think he wants to race Deegan straight up. Even though he hasn’t said so. Deegan will win but it might give us a good few laps of battle.

[@shutupgavin]

@@jpesicka492 wrapping up the championship early is 100 percent a reason to cruise. Why would he go out there and risk injury when he has an SMX title to defend???

[@NW_JAX]

No only way he does better then deegan is if he goes down at the start.

[@doncurry7669]

Kenny has the speed but not racing all summer he won’t have the endurance ! But it would be cool if Kick Start Kenny can get the Suzuki 250 on the box for the first time in what 10/15 years lol

[@powersportsenthusiast1986]

starting out with less power doesnt always mean that its not as capable when modified. in general, but maybe not in the rmz250's case. just saying. *kenny isnt 38. i believe he's 30.

[@ryanely9732]

A star 250 vs a Suzuki 250 is gonna be a problem 😂

[@panzerfaust7476]

With the way kenny rode at Unadilla, I don't think even a podium.

[@jicakejijicakeji7278]

KR getting smoked!!

[@motozaye]

Considering Ty masterpool is a 6-10 guy on a 450 and has beat haiden, I don’t see why Kenny can’t

[@defconone681]

Absolutely not and as much as I love Kenny he won't be able to hang with Deegan and top 3, he will be somewhere around 8-10th place imo.

[@amywarengo4748]

Haven't seen a 250 Suzuki get a get a top 10 start . You going to Race Deegan best to start up Front or he will Smoke ya !

[@vintagemxer9165]

If he gets top 10 I will be a little surprised. No way is he getting a podium.

[@camronking7947]

I love Kenny…. But I don’t think he can hold pace with deegan, he can’t on the 450 class anyway.

[@boosha93]

Haiden will finish top 10 unless he holeshots. There is no incentive for him to push to win after winning the championship. Ken will be 3rd to 6th

[@SgGdkkfk]

Johnson Paul Hernandez Linda Gonzalez Charles

[@BlackSeasGold]

Deegan will smoke Kenny on a 250. Kenny doesn’t ride the way these bikes need to be ridden. Bouncing off the limiter full send. Deegan also has no reason to push it in this race

[@scottmitchell6344]

Watch this space.. Ducati will make a big money play to nab one of the top riders and we all know the Deegan’s love money

[@denniswilder3014]

Kenny will be top ten.he has been off the bike and is still hurt still.deegan has been racing all year.but i am sick of people saying deegan is the greatest ever on a bike.yes he won the championship but the stats are not the greatest and there was 4 key guys hurt.yes he is great but not the greatest ever

[@richardcarvalho4134]

That would be sick but I'm not holding my breath. K-roc at 100% would be much more likely but it's the 2nd race back from a busted knee on a 250 he hasnt raced in years. I would love to see him and deegs go bar to bar but I dont think it will play out like that. Maybe if deegs is taking it easy to not risk too much before the playoffs it will give us that battle.

[@el86lo36fky]

Riding a star racing 250F (It's a dragster) is an too big advantage in the 250 class Riding a zook is like competing a factory 125 KTM with a private 125 CR in 2003.
