The Las Vegas SuperMotocross World Championship finale was nothing short of intense, and Haiden Deegan left it all on the line in pursuit of the 250SMX title. Battling fiercely in the new high-stakes format, Deegan came up just short, tipping his hat to Jo Shimoda who claimed the championship after an all-out showdown.
Despite his determination, Deegan’s season ended on a tough note as he suffered a broken collarbone in the final race. In his latest update, he shared:
“I gave it everything I had to win the championship. This new format of racing in SMX makes for an intense grand finale. I always give 110%. It’s high-stakes racing… Props to Jo on the championship. He put up a helluva fight. I have made it to every single gate drop since I started racing pro. Last night finally bit me as I cracked my collarbone. I am getting it fixed and will be back to work to come back stronger than ever.”
Deegan’s grit and consistency this season — making every gate drop since turning pro — underline just how tough he is. Now, fans will be looking ahead to his recovery and return as he sets his sights on coming back stronger for 2026.
