Justin Cooper out for SMX Playoffs

That's a bummer! Heal up and come back swinging J Coop!

Again, another smart move by someone who realizes the importance of the 2027 SX series.

Still side effects from his crash at hangtown? Hopefully we see him in a different helmet next year. 

Cooper Webb is the only 450 rider who could complete every SMX round this year.

Hunter DNF'd that moto, crash, at Unadilla. 
Prado DNF'd a moto, mechanical, at Hangtown.

Every year, we have only one or two people who can even complete every round. JCoop was one. Ridiculous!

Yes, Cooper Webb of all people. Herr Lich bagged on him relentlessly for "cut and run" for a cheeseburger as soon as he could leave the MX series. If HL wasn't clicked (or reincarnated as Wolfman) he would owe Cooper a big apology. 

Lot of interesting decisions coming out of star lately that would all make more sense if it came out that they were having money issues. 

If this was just concussion and recovery time, time on the bike, etc, with triple points at final round, makes no sense to announce now that he's missing every round. Gotta be more to this story. 

Think of the money they would save if they just didn’t do SMX playoffs in addition to MXdN!

How bad was his concussion?!
