Haiden Deegan has mentioned why he isn't going to the MXoN and without doubt, there will be question marks if he is actually telling the truth, or just looking for a way out. Nobody will know, but for the general fan, we are all super disappointed, because he is probably considered the fastest 250 rider in the World. I wouldn't be picking him for Ironman in 2025, that is for sure.

Haiden Deegan: Wanted to get the record straight I have hardware in my wrist that needs to be taken out after Smx and will have to heal, so the team has made the decision to not let me attend the MXoN to make sure I can make pre season training this year on time to give me the best chance at a sx title, so don’t get it confused I’m a racer and wanted to race, and if the opportunity comes up in the future l’d be stoked to do it, thanks to everyone that supports me
