This is a great indication of how hard he was riding. Nose wheelie all the way into the corner. Hopefully one of the Pro's got a good photo of this.

After he passed Marv, he gapped him about 4 seconds in one lap. Not sure if Marv made a mistake, but Webb just dropped him off at school.

I would love a chance to try the front brake on one of those factory race bikes.
The engine probably wouldn't dazzle me, as a stock 450 has as much power as I could use, and I certainly couldn't come near fully utilizing the suspension. But the brakes would be cool to sample on a really tacky track.

Watching that nose wheelie reminded me of a few years back. I think it was Deano and Tomac going at it back in the 250 days. Pretty much proves just how much to the limit they are pushing those bikes.

I saw it, Ralph was trying to mention it but Ricky was rambling on about something, just like when Tomac went down and he had to wait for Ricky to finish a long winded speech just to inform everyone.

Steering with it too. He don't need no steering with the throttle to go fast.

I'm not Coops #1 fan but there's no denying he can ride the wheels off a dirt bike. If he stays healthy and in the zone...gonna be hard to beat.

Thought the same thing, then RC went right back to the Kroc thing like he wasn't done?

You could tell Marvin was holding him up. Not intentionally or maliciously, the track just looked to be tough to pass on. Webb caught up from a ways back and got stuck behind Marvin for a lap or two and you could see the gap between first and second/third grow.

Saw it, said WOW out loud... Had just finished telling my wife that I thought Webb took too long to get past Baggett to catch Roczen. But his speed on a clear track was amazing.

I was fast... But being fast is relative to who else is on the track with you.

There's gonna be issues with Webb and Musquin long before the season is over. Webb is definitely faster, but he's obviously reluctant to put an aggressive pass on his team mate. Musquin on the other hand wicks it up when he sees a front fender, which is fine.....except when it's your team mate who's obviously riding better. I wouldn't say Marv needs to move over or even just hold his line. But purposely blocking your own team mate is foolish.

Marv has bills to pay like everyone else.
