  • Following Second 250SMX Title, Haiden Deegan Undergoes Surgery to Take Screw Out of Left Wrist

Over the weekend Haiden Deegan underwent minor surgery to get some hardware removed from his wrist. The Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider suffered a broken wrist back in January ahead of the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East Region Championship. At the time Deegan’s camp downplayed the injury, saying it was only sprained. Deegan would go on to put in a strong sophomore SX season with three main event wins and five total podiums en route to finishing second in the points behind Red Bull KTM Champion Tom Vialle.

Deegan would then go on to take the AMA Pro Motocross Championship 250 Class title in dominating fashion, claiming five overall wins and nine total overall podiums. The second-generation rider also claimed his second consecutive SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) 250SMX title after winning two out of the three events and taking five moto wins out of the six races this fall.

Fans wanted to see the California native compete in the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (now coming up this weekend) in the United Kingdom, although Deegan had stated he needed to get surgery on his wrist and remove the hardware ahead of the 2025 season. This weekend, Eli Tomac (MXGP), Cooper Webb (MX2), and Aaron Plessinger (Open) will represent Team USA.

Deegan is currently recovering after having minor surgery to remove hardware from his wrist.

As for Deegan, his sights are now set on a 250SX title. He has been asked about when he will move to the premier class, but has stated he will not race a 450 until he gets at least one 250cc supercross title. While it has yet to be decided which 250SX region he will race in 2025, either way Deegan is one of a few preseason favorites.

So, is Deegan racing a 450 in 2026 a possibility? Possibly. He also stated earning a 250SX title and then running a #1 plate in that region the following season would be cool in an effort to try and defend the title. Again, this could be two years down the road at least, but maybe we see Deegan do something similar to Chase Sexton, where after his second straight 250SX title he jumps to the premier class for Pro Motocross. Only time will tell. For now, Deegan is recovering with his hand wrapped up. He said the following after the SMX Finale on September 23:

"Yeah, I'm gonna take some time off. It's a long season. I honestly just been looking forward to the time off. So, yeah, just chill for a couple weeks and then you lock back in and grind so you can win another championship."
