COOPER WEBB GAINS MOMENTUM WITH ARLINGTON VICTORY

Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb is continuing his impressive form in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.

Building from his fifth place qualifying position, Webb charged home for the overall win with 5-2-1 finishes in the triple crown format. Webb has now earned five podiums in seven rounds, including two victories and sits second in the AMA Supercross Championship standings, just two points behind reigning champion Eli Tomac.

Cooper Webb: “I’m extremely happy to get another win here in the season! Dallas is always a good one for me, so to come here and do well in the Triple Crown is super-cool. The first Race wasn’t my best one, we improved for the second one and then, in the last Race, obviously some mistakes of other riders helped me out, but overall I’m stoked to execute and get another win! I knew I had to get to the front in that final one in the end to get the overall, so that was what I was going for and I felt good, had a great pace going and was comfortable, so it was a good round for us. We’ll see where this carries us for the rest of the season, but I’m feeling confident and know what I can get better at – we’re all riding well and it’s definitely a dog-fight at the moment.”
