Cooper Webb. The biggest surprise that shouldn’t have been.

I can't figure him out sometimes. Looked slow in Paris, then he comes to A1 and he's flying. Most times never sets anything close to a fast lap in practice, and performs phenomenally in the race. One thing I know for sure, is to never count him out. He finds a way to elevate himself when it counts.

Webb is a tough sumbitch... physically and mentally.  He may not be as "fit" as some of the others but he's plenty fit enough.

No one has beaten Jett when it matters. Do they give trophies for heat race wins?

Nobody is saying Jett didn’t ride great or deserve to win. Webb just looked great too and as I fan I want someone to ride up to Jett’s  level and be in the mix.

Webb looked great. As good as he's ever looked to me. What's the fantasy scenario we're making up about him catching Jett in the main though? He couldn't get around Ando but he was going to win the race?

Looking like a lot of guys looked sharp, Plessinger performed above expectations too. Let's hope everyone stays healthy. Maybe too soon to discuss it but maybe this is the year of Cooper's emergence on a 450 outdoors?

Its probably the sugar rush he gets from packing all that fudge pre race. You see his Jabba the hut photo during the race? MFr face wider than JLOs ass.

I don't think Jett is concerned.  Jett Lawrence is in an entirely different league than Cooper Webb.

For all the Webb nuts who said he wasn't fat in the pre-season, Nicoletti told Mathes Webb lost 15 pounds in the last couple of months.

Yeah, that's how Jett rolls. Just enough to win.

Dude passed and beat Jett in the heat.  Was within a few seconds of Jett 3/4 of the way through the main while battling and eating roost.  He looked good, and you know he would have been a dog the last couple laps.  That jump was odd, thrasher and one other had identical crashes on it.   Didn't look like he was over riding at all.  Just a slight mistake  on the smallest jump on the track.

I hate all of those wall type jumps.  They add nothing, slow the race to almost a dead stop, bunch up riders, and cause awkward crashes.  They lost a key 250 rider and almost a key 450 rider.  Rethink having the stupid obstacle.

Yes, i agree! Wall jumps are just stupid. I dont race these days, but they didnt have wall jumps in the 90's anywhere that i remember. Last summer when i went to a few tracks for open practice, I met the wall jump. Just a useless pile of dirt, sitting there waiting to cripple a rider. No benefit to the action whatsoever.
