Its very common for it to take about 2-3 years for the 250 guys to acclimate to the new bike and format before they become successful in the 450 class. Look at Roczen, Tomac, Villopoto, Musquin, Anderson...who else am I missing?
Umm didn’t Roczen win the outdoor title his 1st 450 year?

He's not the first to go to KTM and bring results.

There a few guys, that if they stayed uninjured, will bring forth an amazing season of racing. I really hope A2 was a sign of things to come.

Sorry, meant about supercross. Not the Entire 450 season SX+MX.

Would be good if he continually finishes ahead of Marv (as long as Kenny wins tho)

So the guy with the most combined points in both series last year is likely to be supplanted by a little shithead who just won one stinking race. Riiiiiight

We're also acting like Cooper Webb has NEVER shown moments of brilliance on a 450 before. He has! On a Yamaha, even! He just fizzles out and those moments never amount to anything. No different than the many other riders who don't get 1/100th of the attention or culty hype as Webb. Dry

Whoa steady on. I never said he would bit ITHINK it would be funny if he beats Marv. You never know but if it did maybe a fire would be lit under Marvs ass and he would start riding a bit closer to the ragged edge as I THINK Eli has him covered

Webb will finish ahead of Marv in the points.

What happens on the track is between the riders. If Roczen is truly offended by what happened, he has the option to retaliate or take the high road. Besides, Webb said it was a thumbs up and the he and Roczen shook hands. Yet, so many on here know that he meant something disrespectful. Some amazing mind readers on here.
A "thumbs up"? If you believe that story you're blind and I've got another story for you.

For all who are giving me crap. I didn’t say I did or didn’t believe it. Why is there so much negativity, crap talking, condescension and flat out hateful words on this forum for the riders and other professionals in this industry is my real question. So many threads about this type of thing. Makes no sense to me. I guess I’m in the minority because I like to focus on the racing and more positive things. There are some really good stories going on already with come backs, first time winners, etc. I go on various types of forums and this one is the most negative one by far. Trash a rider because he’s brash. Bash a rider because he’s boring. Bash a rider because he’s soft. So and so is choking and on and on. Good grief.

Edit: And then there’s the American versus the European hatred. That’s probably been the biggest hatefest recently.

It would be funny if Webb stomps everyone's ass the rest of the season, or at least makes a series out of it. This place would have a melt down.

I'm not the biggest fan of his but his 250 performance in SX was as good as the previous best, fastest since Vilopoto in my eyes, when I was watching him though his confidence and ego was so large he started been too cute on the bike and I thought he could crash out really badly by being over confident.

Webb has hit that 250 form again and most likely will improve as confidence builds, he will win the series if it continues, his only enemy is himself crashing out or ET entering beast mode he often does but he does it when it's too late as history shows.

The main difference between ET and Webb however if Webb is challenged when the point are tight he will raise the bar and rise to occasion that's something Eli does not bring and which is why he's not a multi champion in SX and most likely won't be.

Despite not liking him im happy to see another elite level fast guy out there again, it's been pretty slim since RV and RD retired.

Every weekend I keep thinking it will be the race that ET starts clicking off wins...hasn’t happened yet but I still believe it will be a boring barn burner near round 10.....

I hope that I’m wrong and Webb can win a bunch more and make it interesting. It’s kind of a bummer that I’m not a major fan of any of the title guys right now. I like them all, but don’t necessarily have a guy in mind that I like to see win more than others.

Like him or not his attitude and style are needed in this sport. Keeps things interesting. He is the new generation Bradshaw that the last few generations didn't have. I hope he has finally come full circle in the 450 class and continues to be a threat every week.

Agreed. Webb wants to crush people. If hes on the mxon team hes gonna like the attention and wanna demolish everyone. Tomac you could tell wished the spotlight wasnt on him and didnt care at all how he did because he had a sx series to win, which I get it maybe if he had won 1 before itd be different. Either way tho Webb has that killer instinct that not many people on 450s have today. Lots of talent tho but most of em are just friendly guys and Anderson and Barcia are really the only one who bangs bars thats a top guy.

That is very true, particularly the Bradshaw part, both for the good, and the bad........
