Maybe not such a good time to be a CW2 jock sniffer.
TBH all the Austrian brands 450's seemingly are struggling with outdoor set-up/poor results.

I hope he can dial it in and can begin to post some podium finishes although then who would you hens talk shit about if he did?
One trick pony. Davis - man- no more drunk posting.
He was definitely better at SX but he was still a top 3-4 guy in MX in his “off years”
Can’t compare Webbs “specialist” version to MC.
As it goes for the KTM’s in 3 different colors, it’s the riders, not the settings..
Webbs a 2x SX champion. so MX isnt his thing at the moment. cant we enjoy the battle in MX that's happening and bring Webb into conversation if he has a great weekend or when SX comes around.
MC finished 3rd in '94 in his first outdoor season in the premier class.
He won in '95.
He narrowly lost to Emig in '96 (injured)
MC placed 3rd in '97 on that Suzuki he hated while spending his week days partying at the lake. 3rd. With zero care about the championship.
MC is 10th all time on the outdoor win list.
It's straight up insulting to put Webb and MC in the same sentence for any comparison, outdoors or Supercross. Gee, Webb only needs 5 more championships inside... Hopefully he can string 4 of those back to back, at minimum, to be "like MC". Tack on another 50+ wins too. Oh, and get it done outdoors.
No, he is not even close to MC but he is a great racer. Everyone has times they are not feeling it.
You're no daisy. You're no daisy at'all.
Pit Row
He needs to find 60-80 seconds to even sniff a moto win
I wasn't comparing titles or skill sense.
I'm saying these riders preferred the SX series over the outdoors.
hence why both have more SX titles than Outdoor titles. Both great at outdoors but the strong points are indoors
(hence the amount of titles)
Reed had a SX only contract, MC spoken openly about preferring SX.
Obviously Webbs not in McGrath's league yet. Well aware of this..
Crack a beer and relax a little
The greatest difference was according to Herlings the fuel and the exhaust which is in favour of the US bike.
To see him 1 minute 30 seconds behind the leader at the finish, well I agree with previous posters. He is not going to win an overall or even a moto this year.
I didn't think he was going to be this far off the pace, but now I'm realizing he is a 1 trick pony.
I was alluding to the obvious…Cooper Webb just isn’t an Outdoors guy, at least not to the degree he is a Supercross guy. The guys who are currently kicking his ass outdoors didn’t suddenly get 200% better than he is overnight. Webb is just better (currently) at the completely different game of indoor racing on an artificial track than those guys, and he’s better at the mental game too. The KTM is a great bike…in either racing discipline. That’s been proven over and over by many riders. It ain’t the bike!
Who on an Austrian 450 has looked great so far this summer? Bam in moto 2 at Pala? That’s it...
I speak, of course, of the REIGNING CHAMP who's out due to being injured, but last year won the whole enchilada on this "ass" bike you apparently find so lacking. I'm only feeling dumber as I read this thread, and the one-sided down votes seem to confirm it's been hijacked by that ever-present clique of gossipy weirdos/juvenile fanboys that lurks around here, so, "if you'll excuse me, I'll seek my enjoyments elsewhere."
Where have I heard that line before?
