This dude is the real deal.

As a guy the lives an hour from Millville, of course I have to root for the Martins, but man. Webb is just doing everything he can to not only put on a great show for us fans in the off season, but to also put money into his bank account at the same time.

I really think Cooper's name is going to be in the books as one of the greatest for this sport.

Agreed.

I cant decide where he will end up on the 450 though.... Thats been the hot topic with my buddies lately.

I feel like Decoster would love Webb, could he take Dean-O's spot?

JGR has to be foaming at the mouth!

Does yamaha wait for him to graduate to create the Yamaha team we have been hearing about the past few months?

Does he take Wil Hahn's KXF?

Thoughts????

that yamaha seems to work for view guys at the moment and I don't really see him change to a different manufacturer for the near future.
especially after him talking about how chad reed a big role model was for him and now reed being involved with yamaha again as rider and very likely with the factory team that seems to come in 2017.

No idea what 450 team he will ride but I know the check will be FAT... Probably the biggest rookie salary in a long time

Is he still on 250s for 16?

Anyway i think JGR Would be perfect for him, They'll have a stacked house with Barcia, Pieck, Webb and factory phil if he stays on.

I don't think they will keep wp and filthy if they have to pay for webb. it's not like barcia was a bargain.

Yeah we all know this; he has to fulfill his contractual obligations, but....

Where do you see him going when he moves up? That's where i was going with it.

I've heard KTM is persueing him, and I bet Honda will break out the check book to have a legitimate top young gun again. I think Yamaha will try to keep him, but I doubt that he and Martin will remain on the same brand..... much like Tomac didn't take Honda's reported larger offer to stay, some people just want a change of scenery.

JGR is the best fit, yamaha, it's a team he has worked with when he was on minis, and it's back east close to home

It's far from being one.

Webb is already one of the best, but he will have to beat a bunch of his generation to be the real deal.

I say he stays on blue... Yamaha has been waiting to write that check. .

Isn't he with Star threw the 2016 season? I would like to see him go JGR and be closer to home. He is very tight with his family and they are less than 4-5hrs apart. He is a great kid. Being from eastern NC he is already a local legend here. I can see him being one of the greatest! If not JGR I'd say Honda will pay what it takes. He grew up on the Honda so there are roots there....

He's already ready:

Cooper's way to do it

I just compared the time between the first whoop to after the last jump.

Amart and Harrison are about 12.2 seconds (Harrison a little bit faster than Martin)

Webb is around 11:3 seconds... Taking a second just on a small part of a track on a rider like Alex Martin, who can top 5 this next season, it's huge.


Also, I would not count out Jeremy Martin on a 450 for 2017, I think he can handle the big bike really well too:

He was able to keep RC behind him in 2012...

I was not a fan of webb before, acted like a little brat most of the time.

But at the end if this year, with him racing Febvre all over the world, and the interviews he has done and his riding on the 450 has made me change my mind.
He rides with so much emotion and something always happens when hes on the track. Im slowly becoming a fan! Smile

Going back on what I said, I think cooper kinda likes it in California, I still thing JGR is a good fit but cooper seems to enjoy having all the tracks close by and being out on his own. I'm sure he probably enjoys going back to NC but to me he seems like the kind who likes to be out on his own. having a private facility like JGR is great but I think it would get boring after a while compared to the variety in California.

I like Cooper and think he has the right attitude. I really admire that he is racing for the love of racing. It is clear that he loves what he does and will continue to progress. I can't see Yamaha letting him go, or him wanting to leave. Yamaha is in the middle of a massive resurgence, the bike is amazing, and it is clearly getting better. I think you will not only see Webb stay blue, but you will see a new wave towards Yamaha in general.

Let`s revisit this topic in a year. Honda does not have a superstar right now. If Canard is not up there, I can see them going after Coop if he`s available. Money talks, bullshit walks. We`ll see. No one ever saw Tomac leaving Honda for Kawi but it did happen.

You?

Title: Cooper Webb

OP's Opinion: the dude is the real deal.

Sorry but If you don't want to discuss Webb being the real deal then YOU entered the wrong thread. All the other guys talking about where he may end are the ones off topic.
