(*should)


What will be your thoughts on him going forward.


Can he back up his riding Outdoors or is the SX just a fluke...?


How did he go from Zero to Hero in one season? Just because of the bike?


Another silly song in the making...... Unsure


Is Tom-Cat's (Tomac) head really out of his ass now? Can he win out? Can Webb hold up or will he Fold' em?


Carry on.....

Don't count your chickens before they hatch, bro. Two races left and anything can happen.

I'm more a fan of Roczen, Tomac, and Marvin than I am of Webb. I'd prefer either of those 3 to win the outdoors. Mainly, I just want to see good battles though.

This will be the first year I attend two nationals: Budds and High Point. In year past I just went to High Point but I'm adding Budds Creek to my adventures this year. Excited!

I believe I heard Webb on a podcast saying it wasn't just the bike, and Baker's program was given credit as well.

Cooper is a bad dude. He will do well but not win the Nationals this year. Maybe next year. He will be close though and it is possible. ET or KR probably takes it this year.

ET still needs to return the favor with MM.

Finishes 3rd or better in MX

I think he'll have a SX Champ hangover. This is the first time he's made it all the way through a full SX season without an injury or missing a round, not counting the regional class since they only do half the races.

Not discounting him but we've seen it with previous riders winning their first SX title so I wouldn't be surprised, especially since he's never completed a full SX and MX season to date. I think there are already guys focusing on outdoors in the 450 class that have a potential to win and are going to come out swinging.

He won't be like JA21 was last year at all. He will come out swinging in my opinion. He is probably the toughest mentally of all the contenders and that matters. But I think those other two will edge him out. On the other hand, it would not shock me if he wins though.

Webb is a confidence guy. Baker fixed his confidence.

Look for him to be very strong outdoors. He's just as good outdoors as he is in supercross.

Thinking about the same. Been going to Highpoint since the early eighties. Never been to Budds.

Do you want the field to get bunched up? Because that's how you get the field bunched up.

Exactly. The bike change probably helped. The team change probably helped. Training with Baker probably helped. Add it all up and I think it put him in a much better position to succeed, but first couple of rounds weren't earth shattering (5th at A1, 10th in Glendale).

Taking that first Triple Crown main at A2 was like flipping a switch and it was back to the Cooper Webb that we saw in his 250 days. I think that drastic of a change in that short of time has to be down to confidence.

Roczen's old trainer+Roczen's old girlfriend must be a championship winning combo!

A mysterious injury will flair up which will result in him taking the summer off. Gone by round 3.

Who knows the deal with the guy? KR apparently doesn't like him, Barcia doesn't like him and did y'all see the interview where Marvin says "we're not friends"?

Really he just needed some tough love and that is exactly what Aldon and Roger brought. Of course, Cooper had to have an open mind to it and be willing to buy in. The struggles of the last two years gave him that open mind.

I’m a huge Webb fan but I wouldn’t be surprised if Tomac found a way to win this championship.

The one I'll _always_ remember is Langston vs Brown on 125's. What a lesson THAT was!!!!

I think Tomac has a Husky to worry about outdoors. Webb 3rd outdoors behind 3 and 16, or 16 and 3.
