AMA Motocross rider Haiden Deegan is using an off week to test suspension and engine package adjustments in his first year on a 450. He said there's "room to improve" as he tries multiple engine configurations, aiming to defend the outdoor title against the Lawrence brothers.
The unglamorous work of dialing the throttle feel into your fingertips is exactly what pays off. Trying multiple engine configurations in his first year moving up to a 450 is the right call. From what I've seen on the ground, riders who don't skip this grunt work are the ones still standing when the Lawrence brothers come calling.

Swapping engine packages around sounds expensive.
Aren't the Lawrence brothers just plain stronger right now?
This unglamorous grind is what pays off late in the season.
Testing multiple engine packages in his rookie 450 year is unusual.
Love that he's still grinding during the off week.
How many rounds does the outdoor title actually run over?
