As a #2 rider I assume? I'm not sure about Coop being a championship contender. First couple years have been pretty rough for him.

Possibly but it could also just be because Roger doesn't post that much and it came up in his feed.
Cheers, Crush

all the rumors have been KTM or JGR. I think either way a change of scenery will do him well.

Is Webb going to make Hangtown after the broken leg??

For Webb KTM is smallest and lightest bike to handle. Havent see him do things with big Yamaha that he was doing with 250 bike. I dont see him hanging with Marvin anyways..

Musquin just started winning and nobody is/was complaining that it was taking him too long. Hell Eli hasn't even won a supercross championship and hes been on 450's for years. I've been following how people talk/feel about Webb and its weird to me how he is one of the only ones that gets this much criticism for only his second year. He did the same thing on 250's. It took him a little while to get going and once he did he started winning everything. For him he slowly gets better every year, but never regresses- barring injury, and once he gets to the front he stays up there. Just give him time. Pretty sure Musquin just won his first sx race last year, and before that when he would get up there he could never finish the job... the Dungey-Musquin-Stewart incident comes to mind, where he was leading most of the race and still lost. Next year will be the year to start judging where he is at in his 450 career as for him he slowly moves closer and closer to the front and then stays there. He almost finished the whole season which is more than you can say for Roczen the last couple years.
