I agree. He could beat them all if he cared like before.

Is Webb back to training at Aldon's or is he still recovering?

Webb used to race 65’s with a teddy bear zip tied to his chest protector.
And Baggett had a Rabbits foot his whole amateur career. Several others with their oddities. The Alessi’s wore wrist bands that were suppose to reduce arm pump and promote circulation. (Takylon ?) there was some magic cream that guys were using too. Superstitions and good luck tokens have been around forever. Whatever works, I say run it. Lol
Wilson wore only RED gloves for a long time, RC with the same set of Orange gear.


Back to the topic-
I will never underestimate Webb. I have in the past, but he’s proved me wrong several times. He’s a threat for podiums and even wins, if he is feeling it. JMHO

Webb at his best won't have the unbelievable dominant rides that Tomac is having, but he can certainly make wins harder to earn for Eli than almost anyone else. He gets good starts and is hard to pass, and if Eli slips up at all Webb is right there to take advantage.

In 2020, Tomac was on his game all year, it was his best all-around SX season prior to '22. Webb fought tooth and nail with Eli until the final round. Eli was the better rider that year, but it wasn't like Webb simply had nothing for him.

If Webb is in his peak form again (and Tomac still is), I think Tomac still has the edge but it will look a lot like 2020. This is of course talking about SX not MX.

Everyone talks up Webb’s mental game but I only see him mentally strong when he’s winning. That’s when he plays his games on the gate. When he isn’t winning, he continues to struggle.

People won’t like that, but that’s what we’ve seen so far. Maybe this year will be different? I hope so.

You can’t win 20 450 SX races without being fast and by just being a “racer”.

There are only (4) 450 SX riders who can win the 2023 title. Webb is one of them.

Correction - (5). Webb, Tomac, Ferrandis, J. Lawrence, and Anderson. One of those will be the 2023 SX Champion.

Guy has incredible talent.
Never blames anyone but himself.
He's unbelievably tough...physically and mentally.
Comes across as an all around decent and solid/upstanding person (especially outside the cameras view).

Wtf are you on about? Every post you make about Sexton is shitting on him. But you're all in a tizzy because everyone is being mean to your boyfriend Webb

Webb is under rated. He’s a bad dude. Webb has more titles than Chad Reed who is considered a legend in the sport.

They each have 2 titles at this point in the premier class. Plus Chad has a premier outdoor title as well. Not sure we’ll ever see that from Coop.

What we perceive as Webb’s mental TOUGHNESS, may actually be WEAKNESS.
In the same manner as KR’s ‘fuck the haters’ social media postings could actually mean he does care.

For a proper example of mental toughness, please See Mick Doohan.

He is one amazing dude but watching his guest spot on the gypsy tales you find out that he talks about how scared he was at times. You’d never know it by what he did but he lets you into his thoughts from back then

Yes, it does. National Titles are counted as National Titles in the record books.

RC is a ten time national motocross champion. You don’t “split” those into 250/450.

Regional titles don’t count towards career totals.

The lack of knowledge on this board in how this sport records wins and titles is shocking.

Watch in 2 sec increments. If you can take just one, this is the one.

I'm sure that the same guys predicting total domination by Eli and Jason are the same guys that were predicting last year that Eli was washed up and Jason was done. I think we really won't know anything until at least round 3.

Finishing 20 seconds back in an 8 minute race at Paris Supercross when he started right behind the leaders is pretty telling. I think he is done for in terms of championship aspirations

Yeah, I don't know what's going on, he's getting handled by the old men. Even Musquin had no problem with Webb before crashing by himself.
