I doubt we see him at anymore nationals. He should qualify for SMX easily with the points he has. 

It's not just about qualifying, he would have qualified with just his soupy results. To me the only reason he went outdoors was about seeding.

This is really bizzare. Before missing red bud, Cooper was looking like a pretty serious threat to be going into SMX as the #1 seed.

Suprising that he would be willing to give up the #1, and more suprising that KTM would be willing to let go of their best shot at a SMX title.

 

Wondering how serious the crash before Red Bud, or if both parties were just done.

He won main events and had the red plate late in the season?

I am neither a Webb fan or hater...  I like having him out there and appreciate his ability to close out races and apply pressure at just the right time.

But I also don't think he was anywhere near his best on a Yamaha 450...  Granted, that wasn't a Star bike.

I get this flashback when I think of him on a blue 450...

He's most likely going to drop 4 spots or so and lose 5-7 points but he's a lock for SMX.

I saw DeCoster come over to Ty and say great ride. Maybe he might give Ty a shot?

So the old suzuki is good enough for Ken to win on, the ktm isn't good enough for Webb to win on?

And the heavy blue pig that doesn't handle is the best bike out there?

 

Very confusing.

He won races and was in the title fight for the SX title this year until the head injury.

It's not the bike.

He will get better results with his Kawasaki.

I remember laughing while watching this race.  Webb was in survival mode and Barcia was hauling ass. When he flipped him off I was like YESSS Laughing

If Webb is going back to blue, I can't imagine he would do so unless the bike is working for him.   Clearly the old pre-Star 450 was not (for anyone). 

Now...when will the other side of this big news story drop?

Coop was a concussion and 2 rounds away from being a 3X 450sx champ. Actually most upset that barcia got hurt when he did would have liked to see him get it.

Moranz is coming back outdoors on a KTM, put him on Webb's bike for the remaining rounds and SMX.

I‘m talking about motocross. Bike must suck and he don’t want none.

Even if Barcia won out the remaining races, he was not in a position to get it....

Webb hasn't been able to replicate the 250 success he had outdoors since moving up to the 450, so I wouldn't say it's the bike.

No freaking way Webb misses the "playoffs".   (other than injury)

My guess is he got caught riding the Yamaha once too many times?

I’ll put on my tin foil hat just for a second, the practice crash was timely this week
