I'm a fan of both .
Martin riding great and I live in MN Smile

Personality . Love that kids interviews and
How u can tell he is giving it his all!

Coopers personality that he has shown in his interviews has made me a big fan.

For some reason it always bugged me that Webb got all the hype on that team, even when Martin was getting better results last summer. Throw in his personality, and it makes me smile every time Martin beats him. Which usually happens.

Tons of admiration for Martin. It's obvious he did what a ton of guys claim to be doing. That is, he went from a mid pack guy to dominant winner. That happens ONLY through brutally hard work and mental toughness in this sport. I think he hasn't gotten nearly enough credit for what he's done for himself in that regard. That said, I'm pulling for Coop just on his personality alone and because he's a surfer. Both a fiercly, indescribably competitive and hate hate hate hate hate hate to lose, which is hugely beneficial for the sport especially since they're young. Great to see them shake hands after moto 2 this week, maybe their problems are clearing up a bit.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite because they are both awesome. I don't know either personally so it's hard for me to really tell who is a cooler person overall. Martin seems cool and calm at least in front of the cameras where Webb seems more outgoing and fun. Just 2 different personalities and both kicking ass on the track. Love Webbs desire to not just lay down.

Martin. Too much verbal cockiness in Webb; let your riding do the talking. They're both awesome riders, though.

I love Webb's cockiness on the podium. Pretty funny to watch. I like Martin too though. He seems humble enough. You gotta respect both of their approaches. Hard to pick a favorite for me but I'd give Martin a slight edge.

Hard to not like Martin pushing through the problems he had earlier this year in sx , to be able to put himself in the drivers seat for a Cship in a stacked class.

I'm a fan of both but I'm not picking one over the other. As long as the racing is good I'm happy. Those two (along with a few others) have made the 250 class some of the most exciting racing this season so I hope they keep it up.

Webb comes across as a little bit of a punk IMO-

Webb is Awesome! I like Martin to, but he seems to be in a catatonic state after all his motos.

Not sure about the catatonic but I'd bet his dad has coached him not to step on his wiener when the mic is stuck in his face. I dig both those hot rods.

Wasn't the same thing going on between AC and Webb when they were both amateurs? I seem to remember Webb cleaning shop at LLs the last year they both raced together.

The last year AC and Webb raced each other at LL's was 2011, and AC won, Jordon Smith was second, Webb third.

2012 AC was still racing minis. Webb was racing Bisceglia and McElrath in the B class.
