Haiden Deegan Responds to Not Competing for Team USA

Yesterday's announcement of Team USA for the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations did not include the AMA 250 Pro Motocross Champion Haiden Deegan, as instead Chance Hymas was given the MX2 (250 class) slot on the team. When asked about the MXoN over the last few weeks, Deegan has said that he needs off-season surgery to remove some hardware from his wrist, and has also deferred to his participation being a team decision.

He posted his side of the story on Instagram last night.
