Rumours have it Duffe may be going to F1!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Deegan was asked about losing Duffe in the post-race press conference and he had this to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuff has been with me since the start. It\u2019s kind of hard, you know,\u00a0to just let him go like that. It\u2019s obviously his choice. He\u2019s getting older now, and I mean,\u00a0when you get money and a little bit different future, why not take it, you know? He\u2019s getting\u00a0to the point where he wants to have a family as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese dirt bike races, it\u2019s 24-7.\u00a0Every single day, to be honest, they don\u2019t get a time off. So I mean, honestly,\u00a0I don\u2019t like bag on him for it because it was a smart decision. But again, I mean,\u00a0it sucks because I\u2019ve been with him for a while. So hopefully we can find a guy with\u00a0a good personality like Duff and keep seeing, you know, the team excited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuff\u2019s just full of excitement, really. I mean, I feel like he\u2019s probably got one of\u00a0the best personalities in the pits. He\u2019s always just hyped everything up, to be honest. And I\u2019m just glad to have a mechanic like that. It\u2019s hard when you have a mechanic\u00a0that\u2019s kind of a downer. It doesn\u2019t get you motivated much, but Duff\u2019s always there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch our interview with Duffe below to learn how much work he puts in and how much he backs Haiden:<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Twitter\/X WhatsApp Messenger Email Brent Duffe will no longer be Haiden Deegan\u2019s mechanic it has emerged over&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":866172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-866171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
