Just wondering how you guys think Webb will stack up next year.
Of course the bike wasnt perfect and his fitness was way off, but he wasnt very close last year.
Also im curious as to how big of a factor the whoops not being jumpable had to do with his results.
Even in his 2 championship years he was rarely the fastest guy, but he won a lot.
I'm sure he is pissed off with a chip on his shoulder, so itll make for an interesting year, thoughts?

I wanna see the 2019-21 Webb again and hope Tomac and Anderson ride as good as this season, that would be fantastic. I'm scared though, Tomac said in a interview that the 2023 yamaha handles even better.. Let's see if anyone can step up and challenge Tomac next year.

Last year he shit the bed in sx because he was out shape. Now he’s back with Baker so he’ll maybe be top 5.

He will be in it to win it. JA and ET will be his main competition. Chase didn’t like his Honda in SX, but if that changes. It should make for even better racing.

Sexton was fine with the bike. Roczen not so much.

Ever since he was mean to Marvin in 2015 vital has hated him. It kills them that he is on a KTM riding for Roger.

Tomac gets paid a lot of money to say “the new bike is better than the old bike”

You can’t read in to it.

I don’t see Webb magically finding the speed to contend with Tomac, Sexton and Anderson. His time is more than likely passed. He’s made millions, good for him

I don’t think you can ever write Webb off, remember when he was on the factory Yamaha and everyone stuck a fork in him. I’m sure it’s still in him to pull off them surprising sneaky wins.

The dream is to see Webb, Tomac, Sexton and Ferrandis all out battling for wins.

Webb won his titles when other riders had bad years, i don’t see him winning a title with a Sexton, Tomac or Anderson in great form.

He will be there, picking up podiums and scoring points like Dunge, but he lacks the speed to match the fastest riders on track.

Has it ever occurred to you that you and his other fanboys are the ones who are deranged?

It’s crazy how far off he was this year. I couldn’t see him getting back to winning once in the season (I predicted him to be on another level). Yet one year earlier he was just incredible, I didn’t know if anyone would be able to beat him in a championship.

Looking at next year I can’t see how it’s possible he can match Eli, Anderson and the rest. But you just know he’s going to find it someway somehow. Super excited. If he has another shocker, it has to be one of the most dominant riders - to very average in the quickest turnaround I’ve ever seen.

If Tomac, Chase and Anderson are in form, I see Webb as 3-5. Maybe 7 podiums, and maybe a win if things go his way, no title though.

Well since he had trouble beating local yokels over the summer I'd say he'll be lucky to qualify .

Where are people hearing that the Honda is shit? Did Kenny say that in the podcast or something?

Webb used to race 65’s with a teddy bear zip tied to his chest protector.

5-10th with occasional podiums would be my guess.

I hope he has a solid year, the more contenders the better.

But if he has an average season like last year I wonder what he will do? Look for a new team? Or hang up the boots?
