We are back for another edition of Michelin Most Likely and this week we (I) examine Haiden Deegan’s possible move to the 450 Class for Budds Creek and who is the favorite for the Horizon Award at Loretta’s?

Racer X did some serious Capital J work today and dropped the news that Haiden Deegan could race the 450 Class at the Pro Motocross season finale at Budds Creek if he were to clinch the 250 Class title early. Go read the full report.

How likely is he that he clinches early? Very, actually. Deegan currently has a 45-point lead over Jo Shimoda with two rounds remaining before Budds Creek. He’ll just need to pick up six points to clinch to not have to rely on a tie-breaker.

So…. IS IT TIME!?!?!??!

Let’s hope so. Jett vs Chase vs Deegan vs Tomac vs Hunter is what we’ve all been waiting for.

Now… do I think he wins straight way? No. Could he challenge for an overall podium? Maybe. I’m just here for the fireworks that will surely come if he does find a way to win.

Oh, to answer the question: top five overall.
