He fast lap times come in second half of race.
I used to be on the aluminium frame bandwagon, but I really do believe they are a disadvantage in SX.
Tomac has resorted to not pushing when he doesn’t feel the track which seems like a regular occurrence and Roczen makes a mistake then tip toes around the obstacle.
He’s also probably the most demoralizing rider I’ve ever seen. If I were Kenny trying to beat Webb at this point I’d be throwing my hands in the air saying “ wtf do I have to do to beat this guy”.
In golf, it’s “drive for show, putt for dough”. The SX version: “whoops for show, corner for dough”. And Mr. Webb has taken it to heart.
That would mean Jeff Stanton was more talented than James Stewart! I don't think so.
KR is a 10 minute wonder - It is such a pattern KTM pits give CW the board to let him know when KR is too tired to go fast or concentrate. 10mins - It is how 800m champs win. They run at a pace keeper pace for 1 lap to keep fresh then finish strong and most cases the guy that bolted gets passed by most runners. It is called tactic or race craft in moto. IMO KR is talented and faster than CW he is just not doing the work CW is doing as he shows to be not as fit and strong for the endurance of a full race. Same every race even 3 years ago , granted KR had health issues , but even now the pattern in the same. Health issue are now fitness issues.
As the top coaches say they will take work ethic over talent any day. CW is living proof.

Everybody is seeing that determination now, and I don't know how anyone can honestly say that he's not fast. If you don't like him, just say you don't like him and move on. Fact is, he's the best in Supercross right now and it shows.
Personally, I think he's a class act and he's going to be a great multi-time champion in our sport.
Holy shit....that's priceless.
Find me someone that has his corner speed and ability to hold a tighter line. He has as much talent as anyone on the line. And this is coming from someone who thought he wouldn't sniff the top 5 when he moved to the 450 class.
It's almost like comparing talents between a dual-threat quarterback and a pure pocket passer.
Webb certainly has more talent than us keyboard racers/weekend riders, but I won't forget how he looked on that blue 450 his first 2 450 seasons. There wasn't much "pro" talent showing. I attribute most of his 450 success on the fact he trains at the Baker's Factory. Period. Beginning with Carmichael, then Stewart (including his perfect season in 08'), then Dungey, Villopoto, Anderson, and Webb and even KR when he won outdoors championship. Every single season, whether SX or the Nationals, including OZ's outdoor championship in 2020, Baker has won a championship. Every season, beginning with the GOAT. What can you say. This is a Dynasty that has been built by him. It's just now, Roger and KTM and its sibling brands have paid him well, and have sewn up his talent to their riders exclusively.
I'm not sure which is the first year the GOAT won his first title with Baker as his trainer, but Baker has a championship for at least 15 consecutive years I believe, and with this 450 title coming, at least 16 consecutive years.
As far as Webb having the same talent as KR, Tomac, or even Dungey, Villopoto, and especially JS7. No way.
I compare Webb's talent to what it takes to make a Brick Oven Pizza. The flavor comes from the chef making the pizza.
KROC is the talented chef making the pizza, Webb is the brick used to cook the pizza.
