There is an ongoing press conference about the final results of the 250 class. Haiden Deegan’s situation is under review after he did the same off-track acceleration as Tom Vialle, who was penalized and docked one position in the first Moto. Kellen Brauer from MotoOnline is live at the press conference, providing insight into what is happening. The AMA is planning to dock Deegan in the second moto for going off-track, which would result in a 1-2 for Deegan and a 2-1 for Levi Kitchen, meaning they would have the same points but Kitchen would take the overall win. During the press conference, Deegan stated, “I went off the track, I didn’t accelerate, I did what I was supposed to do, but Mitch is trying to get us. I don’t know, Levi, do you think I should have the win?”
