Coop is looking really damn good in preseason sx riding. Dare I say back to champ form coop? Surprised at how quick he has adapted again.

More nimble than on the YZ. I think he's going to surprise a few people. And he has a chips on his shoulder from Star and 38

Jokes aside last time he was on Austrian he looked good. So he should feel somewhat at home

Actually, last time he was on the KTM he couldn't buy a win and barley made the podium....

That's why he jumped ship and switched to blue.

Looking at the bikes objectively, it would make sense that the KTM/Husky bikes fit his style better.

2023 he had a tip over the race before Tomac tore his Achilles. If not for the tip over (and AC hitting him) Webb probably wins the 2023 SX championship on the KTM. He still finished 3rd that season despite missing the last 3 races. 2 wins, 6 2nds, and a 3rd in 14 races that year. Worst finish was 5th that season other than the races he missed. He had a better podium % and average finishing position than he did in 2024 on the Yamaha. He did struggle in 2022 which was the first year on the new KTM frame.

Can cut down easier on the KTM/ Husky? Idk, I'm guessing.  He won a title on the Star bike so........

Since I was aware of the official Sexton/Kawie divorce, and I saw the clip of Coop prepping for MXoN on the Husky…and looking great on it, I thought what a good spot Tedder might be for Sexton to land…if Webb would have him. Probably won’t happen though.

Ahh yes you are correct, for some reason I thought it was '22 when he almost won, then '23 he struggled....

True.. I'm with you Webb isn't gonna have that.

Purely anecdotal, but the vibe at Tedder, the Husky with KYB, and the freedom from the corporate minutiae would be awesome for us fans…

He's in a good place in his career - he's got nothing to prove, cash is coming in, his skills are sharp, and his mind is right - 

I look forward to good racing from him and hope he stays healthy until he walks away -

If he can start in the top 5 I think he can give anyone a run for their money. I hope he's burning up clutch plates getting that dialed. 

"Keys the race; start up front"

Webb is a finisher for sure...  If he's close with 4 to go, it's always game on.  And that makes him fun to watch.

Cooper's NC training facility has well experienced, fast, hard-working midwestern Iowa guys working with him:

Justin Brayton, Cameron McAdoo, and Austin Kent, all raised in IA.  (I know Austin's Mom.)

Trivia fact:  

Cooper's uncle is a surgeon in Nebraska.  He trained for joint replacement surgury at an Atlanta area hospital, where my daughter assisted him routinely.
