Summary

Dean’s back in the studio to talk life and racing. At this stage in his career, he’s loving where racing takes him—traveling the world with his family and lining up in places like Brazil, Australia, the UK, and the U.S. This season took an unexpected turn when HRC Honda called on Dean to race the final 5 rounds of Supercross after both Hunter and Jett Lawrence went out with injuries. Dean shares what it was like riding for Factory Honda and even weighs in on how good the bike was—calling it one of the best he’s ever ridden. We dive into the big question heading into the outdoor season: who’s the top dog—Chase Sexton or Jett Lawrence? Plus, we throw around some silly season predictions, including whether Eli Tomac might end up on KTM.

Always a great conversation with Dean. Enjoy this chapter—and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay up to date with our latest Podcasts.
