Webb Is Doing What Webb Does!

Cooper Webb is often unfairly forgotten when it comes to a straight shootout of potential championship winners at the start of every season and, once again, he is proving those doubters wrong – and enjoying it too.

Webb was reportedly coming in a bit banged up into the season but, as usual, he was consistent and even got a third at San Diego despite feeling ill. Even then the signs were there before the injuries. Webb points-wise was right there, then he got faster and the injuries hit Lawrence and Tomac – then Webb got inspired.

He knows it’s his time to strike and not only is he consistent and smart but he has impressive raw speed, even in qualifying, he’s throwing down laps, whipping the bike in the air and putting a marker down. Mind games, speed games, winning games. Cooper Webb is where he wants to be just like he was from “lap three,” in Detroit when he admitted he was very confident in knowing what to do next which is a move we have all seen before, follow Roczen, watch Roczen then pass Roczen late for the win, and the momentum.

Webb said of the win, underlining his confidence, “felt super comfortable, kind of knew where I was going to make the pass, and I was able to execute.”

Webb waits for his moment, then attacks, and he admits he knows the opportunity is there and so is the chip on his shoulder to prove the doubters wrong once again. “Just the opportunity, again, ” said Webb. “Obviously we’ve had some injuries as we know, which is a bummer, but you know I’m just I’m in the in the championship fight, right? I’m tied for the red plate. It’s just not talked about much, you know, so I think a lot of people didn’t expect this. A lot of people expected the other guys to kind of maybe do their thing. So, yeah, it’s just good to, to quietly remind everybody, always.”

Cooper Webb isn’t the underdog anymore. He is many peoples favourite for the title after Detroit.
