>> Haiden Deegan stormed out to the front of the pack with another picture perfect start for the Orange Brigade athlete. Logan Best was closely in tow with Casey Cochran rounding out the podium not too far behind. Deegan had already built up an immense gap over the running of the first couple laps. Cochran was able to sneak his way past Best and move into 2nd place, but Deegan had already put enough time behind himself so that he didn’t have to worry about any last lap charges from his rivals. The Cobra rider of Cochran contin- ued to spoil the KTM 1-2, leading Best by quite a healthy margin as they closed in on the checkered flag. Dangerboy Deegan lived up to his name yet again, hanging it out on the opening couple of laps in order to check out at the front of the race, and taking another moto victory in the process. He will be gunning for the Thor Bronze Boot award as one of the riders who has accumulated the most points throughout the entire week of racing as he’s been consistently one of the most successful youngsters of the 45th annual Thor Winter Olympics.
