Webb was faster than Barcia

9/28/2015 1:07pm Edited Date/Time 9/29/2015 5:32pm
In the last race. I was there and watch Webb 2-3 laps before he stalled and he was super fast, maybe even faster than the guys up front. I'm almost sure that with that rythm, he could have catched the guys up front.

From the side of the track, I can tell you that he was damn impressive before the stall.

I tell you one thing, that move he put on Febvre in the corner was less than a second from being a win. Soo close to taking out his front wheel. Febvre got lucky there for sure....haha..

More like 2" !! I'm glad they didn't make contact though. If we would have won over something like that , we would of never heard the end of it. It was super aggressive , but a brilliant move at the same time. Add that on top of Barcia riding Paulin and Musquin both pretty damn clean ( and he had a chance to put both of them down , but didn't ). I wanted to see us win it fair and square. Bottom line , France just out rode us , and our shitty starts in the 3rd moto definitely didn't help.

If he never got stood up on that outside berm and kept the power on, the pass would of been epic. Tie in points ? 3 motos to one

Webb took out Dean Ferris there in the last race, just rode straight at him , broke the water pump or rad off it.

Could have been over right there.. dumb move.

Webb was going good, but man, Barcia was working it hard, he was on it!. If Barcia was in the top five start in the 3rd race, I think we would have done it. And if Webb would of had a better start too. But hey, that's why they hold a race. Our guys did great. I'm proud of how they performed. France just did not make any real mistakes. Barcia's stock made a big jump up in my opinion. I'm normally pretty critical of Barcia, too. Good Job to all three.

Webb passed Barcia in that third moto... Barcia admitted his was faster and let him go through.... 2 corners later he stalled it

as for the block pass attempt by Webb, Febvre saw it coming and side-stepped it neatly

Febvre saw everything. Watch the video, he slammed the brakes and turned right to avoid him. After that Webb never caught him again.

That's what I loved about that move from Webb. After that Febvre just had enough of playing with Webb and left him immediatly way behind. I guess after one lap Febvre already had a 2 or 3 second gap between them. He made sure Webb had no second chance.

And I don`t think it was anything dirty. He was not going for a Febvre front wheel.

If my information is correct, Febvre goes to America (training / testing with JGR) to prepare for Lille

everything you write is exactly right

..... but the part about being "super aggressive" & "brilliant move"

..... maybe "super lame" & a "numbskull move" fit better ??

endangering a fellow competitor and risking knocking him down just to pass him is for riders like Alessi or Bowers and is more of an arenacross show stunt rather than a MX move.

One day in the future it will occur to Cooper that he will rather be regarded as a Dave Thorpe rather than a Tyler Bowers type.

that is a good attitude to take, "just think it"

Cooper is a product of his environment, the SX and Arenacross have several of the Tyler Bowers type riders and when a Bowers type is allowed to get away with it, some others think it is ok and do the same.

Then before you know it one of them brings it to Europe and then everybody sees how it just does not fit in to the mentality of MX.

If you want to pass, then do it like a Thorpe, not like a Tyler Bowers.....

you are kind not to see Cooper's move as dirty.

I am also trying to not see it as dirty but like I mentioned in my other posts, it is an Arenacoss style pass.

It for sure does not belong in World MX.

I wouldn't call it dirty either. It was an aggressiv attempt for sure.

I see it more like that it was Webbs last option to make something happen. He couldn't get past Febvre in an "normal" attempt, so he had to be more aggressiv. It was racing, more on the aggressiv side of things, but it was not a blunt takeout move I think.

I actually think there's a time and a place for aggressive racing, but I don't think cooper's move on Febvre was the time.. there was like 7 minutes to go or something and you don't wanna give a dude that's faster than you time to get you back especially if you've pissed him off.. and he was obviously faster than Dean so why put a dude down that's just doing his best for his country

I didn't think it was dirty, I actually thought it was quite inventive.

Had he T-Boned Febvre, or taken out his front wheel it would have been a different story, but I don't think he intended to. He just wanted to block him off which is aggressive but perfectly legitimate. I think Webb actually calculated the move pretty well.
