Don’t know if it’s true.  Read on face book CW signed with Star.  Anybody know if that’s true.  I’d so does that mean Eli hung it up or just rumor.

I don't know if true or not, but it's getting a TON of play of Failbook...

If you’re talking about that “dirt bike lover” page, they said it was “confirmed by Cooksey”…

Take that as you will…I’ll be taking it with a grain of salt the size of a freighter…

The 'rumor' among all the prominent podcasts/media is Webb is going to Star next year, Eli is racing SX for Star and Dylan isn't happy with the team/bike and is shopping around (possibly with HEP).

Thought Webb to Star was in the works during supercross and Sexton to KTM? Also thats why the Ducati/Webb stuff made no sense to me (along with many other holes in the story). I certainly dont know, probably read it here

That won’t keep Tinfoilhead from taking credit for dropping it first….

I heard this rumor in the fall about Webb and Sexton. Supposedly coop even rode the new bike before making his decision. It will be interesting if it actually happens.

Put crybaby Df on the Austrian bike n let rog' whoop the whiner outa him.

 

Put webb on the new gen yam n he's gonna be dangerous. 

 

If Eli comes back, it'll be an epic farewell tour with him and his new team mate battling.

This thread is more interesting than the entire Outdoor series so far. And most of this info was speculated on a while ago Unsure

ET3 + CW2 on the same team sounds very exciting.

Not sure how Roger expects anyone to get results on that shit soft steel frame.

Sexton will prove weather my theory is correct or not.

Is winning 6 out of the last 9 450 SX titles, 8 of the last 13 MX1 GP titles, and 4 of the last 11 450 MX titles not getting results?

Surely it isn't the bike when a 6 years retired Dungey can jump on and immediately run a second a lap faster than Webb and Plessinger (DeCoster's words not mine).

I'm not a fan of KTM in the least, but I don't think anyone can say their 450 bike is a big disadvantage.

Ferrandis doesn’t care for the Yamaha anymore and he’s a whiner, but Webb doesn’t care for the KTM anymore and he’s moving back to the top after he switches teams? Get the hell outta here with this goofiness.

To be fair, they are both habitual whiners... 

I couldn't go faster on one or the other.

I just have a hunch that webb will gel with that Yamaha.

Sully, your "translation" bit is exactly what you just did to me lol.. 

I can't believe how soft people are when an opinion in shared.

Right on. That was always my thought too? Can't blame the bike if Dungey came back after 6yrs and is beating his team mates and running top 5s?

Wasn't it actually they went too stiff with the new frame and it wasn't soft enough?

Good move for Webb.  Name one factory KTM rider, AMA or MXGP, that has looked better, or better results on the new(er) KTM 450.  I hope Sexton is well compensated.

Actually, Malcolm came out of the box flying this year. Fastest KTM/Husky/GasGas from the gate. Its too bad he got injured.

Coop has needed a change for a while now. I do wonder how well Chase will develop or keep his edge under the Rog/Baker regiment.

Post a reply to: Rumor……did Cooper Webb sign with Star Yamaha.
