The vid below is from the post-championship presser Saturday night. Webb was careful with his word choice (and thankfully didn't say "living rent free,") but it was interesting to hear him acknowledge what a lot of the Vital psychologists saw. Which is to say that after seeing Ken's awkward, post-Daytona "I like to play games, too" interview, Webb knew he had him beat...and he was right.
Think about Ken, Eli and Coop being on this gate. Which one says “let’s bang some bars” and which ones say “If 7 and 4 have a bad race maybe I can do okay but I’m just happy to be here”
GuyB pic right? So epic
The Shop
Today’s racers aren’t built from the same cloth.
But outdoors Tomac and Roczen are both better than Reed and have the Stats on James although he did that to himself. Maybe I’m wrong and Coop finds 1.5 seconds a lap on average.
You make it seem like Webb goes out there and acts like it’s a demolition derby, when in reality Webb is simply an aggressive racer who rarely crosses over into the “dirty” category.
Insert 2016 outdoors and pre double injury Roczen in that pic and I’m 100% sure that he would do just fine.
Like I said on the KTM coops avg finish outdoors is nearly 30 seconds off of first. He has 450 win. Maybe the Tomac/Roczen era is done and he don’t need that top speed to win. Then sure I bet he grinds out wins. But don’t post pics were every rider in there has at least 1000 percent more wins than coop and say he is the only one to compete. FYI Roczen and all of his injuries has 18 450 MX wins and Tomac has 25 I think in 450 MX. Webb has 1.
Pit Row
Has there been a fade at the last round by a title contender like that since Bradshaw?
KR every time he failed to accomplish what's expected, he went to Instagram with exculpatory excuses for the wunderkind.
CW failed in ATL2 to accomplish what's expected, he went to FL fixed the issue and won ATL3.
That been said for KR, he is filthy rich and settled for life so no regrets.
