" HA! what are those nut huggers at Vital going to say about their boy Webb getting lapped at the end of.... Wait, wuuutttt... is he really crushing his way through the top 10 with 2 laps left like it's the C practice???"
Then again, he could shit the bed next week and make me a fool. ???
Another intangible with Webb is his desire to excell. Like him or not, he has the mentality to reach great heights.
Another issue that Vitards love to give him crap about is the difficulty he had with the Yamaha. Confidence with the machine is paramount to good results. Remember Dungey complaining and struggling when he first threw a leg over the KTM. I met Cooper a few years ago in Atlanta. I’m barely 5’10” and Coop was noticeably shorter than me. Being on a smaller, lighter bike has to help some.
Lastly, Webb hasn’t had great results the past 2 years (since being on a 450), not years. Your statement made it sound like many years. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t he the champ inside and out his last year on the 250?
I suck at this sport, but I owned a 2016 YZ250F and even though it was a great bike, I never felt totally confident on it. I went to a 2017 CRF450R and even though it was heavier and stronger, the ergonomics felt much better to me and helped my confidence tremendously. I would think the better you are, the more this would matter.
Hopefully he stays healthy and shuts up the haters, he's got a lot of potential for sure.
I can't wait for next weekend now.

Would he have won with the holeshot, who knows, but that was an impressive ride. aided slighty by the fact a lot of guys were really piss poor and just went into survival mode.
He knows he has to deliver, its a good start.
