Do people still think he’s riding for another team or is this enough to change their minds? Lol

I think the change will do him good.

BUT.......we will have to wait and see how this works out in the long run. I believe he's setup to start training with Aldon. The down side to that is..... he'll be training with Aldon! It's a pretty well known fact that Cooper Hate's training. So he's either decided to step up , and train the way he's suppose to....or burn the hell out.

Everything thing he'll ever need , will be right there in front of him. Ball is in his court. Step up or flop.

I am gonna guess his finishes will be no better on the orange bike. If it is a one year deal KTM may not have a ton of faith in Webb's ability to be an elite 450 rider, or they have their eye one someone else that will be available in 2020. Either way I wish him the best, I just don't have a ton confidence in him.

He's got no excuses to not get good results now. Arguably one of the top bikes, one of the top teams and one of the top trainers. If he doesn't get results I'd say his career of trying to be one of the top guys is over.

With that said I really hope this does help him become one of the top guys to be challenging Tomac, Roczen and Marv.

He will do good. Hopefully he has or will grow out of the little chip on his shoulder he’s had the last 2 years. Podiums are comming.

Great to see this announcement finally made, probably one of the worst kept secrets in the sport this year, but due to contracts with old and new teams they had to wait for an official announcement....congrats to Webb and KTM, hope it works out, I have my doubts on Webb’s results changing much, but hope it works out well for all involved. Wonder how Marv and Webb do under the same tent???

Any other rider/team announcements made today? Haven’t seen any anywhere....

You do realize that what the consumers can buy and what the pros race aren't even in the same league right? They share a production frame and swingarm and that's about it.

Very possible. Probably not in 2020 though. As long as he doesn't bail on the Baker program. Which, is very possible as well.

I think people forget web showed flashes of brilliance in sx this year

If he can duplicate that more and more on the test track - get his confidence rolling - he will be solid

As someone reminded me - look how long andersons climb to the top was.
