Rider: Cooper Webb
Cooper Webb was one of the best riders from a very young age. From his time on 65’s, he was picked up by Red Bull to be a part of their Jams program. This also helped him become affiliated with Honda as he moved up to 85’s also racing 150s for them as the bike was new at the time. He won Loretta Lynns four times and was usually beaten by Adam Cianciarulo, who has won eleven times in the past, and that was just through Supermini. However, Webb was dedicated to becoming a champion as he trained harder than most and worked on technique from a young age. In his final race on minicycles, he moved over to the KTM team before signing with Yamaha for big bikes. When moving to the 250, Webb gained more success, and in his rookie season of pro motocross, secured a podium spot at the final round at Lake Elsinore. From there his results continued to improve through Supercross. Through the 2015 and 2016 Supercross and Motocross seasons he was the man to beat securing three championships (two in Supercross and one in motocross) that year. He would go on the win in the 450 class as well becoming a two-time champion. Webb has just surpassed ten years in the pro ranks and to this day is still one of the most feared riders on the track.
