The track isn't holding up these riders specifically in the 450 class from passing but the talent depth is Making the holeshot much more critical with such similiar speeds. Cooper Webb and also savatgy showed a faster rider could pass and I didn't see a moment when Webb was held behind someone by the track

His passing abilities are incredible to say the least. I was shocked at how easy he passed savatgy and Osborne.

I was thinking the same thing about the passing opportunities in the track. He sure didn't seem to have any issue blowing past everyone with ease!

He's a beast, plain and simple. No one in the lites class can match him in SX. He'll be an immediate contender in the 450 class next season but he's going to have to dial in those starts. Too many fast guys up front running a ridiculously fast pace to overcome a bad start like he does in the west coast series right now.

I think He showed that passing is always easier when you go faster than the rider in front of you.

Cooper has got to figure his starts out. I think something the 450 class has proven this year is that it doesn't matter who you are, if you can't consistently start up front then you can't contend in the big boy class.

Webb to me looks to be a smarter rider than anybody out there, with the possible exception of Dungey. I'm not saying Webb will immediately be as fast as the guys in the 450 class, but his racecraft is better than probably all of them.

Correct, you just proved why Tomac will never win a 450 supercross title unless things change... Start is everything
in Supercross...

Kenny had the fastest lap, if he would of started ahead of Dungey, he probably would of won...

The kid is ready for the next level. Enough said as he is one of the chosen few.

Webb has got the stuff. Should be great to see him cause some chaos next year.

I can't see his teamate Martin making a dent in the 450 SX class like Webb will. Time will tell but to me, Martin seems similar to Baggett. Both animals outdoors.

I agree to a certain extent, the 450 class isnt as easy to go from 250 to 450 and win straight away, the 450 bikes are harder to ride...in saying that he has the talent to adapt quickly than most have/will
