Orlando 2 Report: Webb dominates - Cooper repeats 250SX West opening-round win
By Feld Entertainment on 21st Feb 21
AMA Supercross Cooper Webb Justin Cooper Orlando
Round eight of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship thrilled with the second of two rounds inside Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida with Red Bull KTM's Cooper Webb taking the 450SX Class win to the cheers of the in-person pod-style-seated fans.
His Red Bull KTM teammate Marvin Musquin kept Webb close, and round one winner Troy Lee Designs / Red Bull / GASGAS Factory Racing's Justin Barcia held off heavy pressure to finish in third.
The event kicked off the nine-round Western Regional 250SX Class with a wild and action-filled Main Event that saw Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha's Justin Cooper stay out of the chaos to lead wire to wire without any serious challenges.
The opening round was a heartbreaker for the Martin brothers Jeremy and Alex. Jeremy crashed just feet past the holeshot stripe on the first lap and older brother Alex crashed hard just two corners after that. Alex was down on the track, necessitating the reg flag re-start.
The series brings together a half dozen title contenders and nine high profile rookies, all without a championship title among them.
If the opening round of the Western Regional 250SX Class series is any indication, 2021 will be a dramatic year with hard-fighting and hungry riders looking to take the title in the nine-round championship that concludes at the East/West Showdown in Salt Lake City on May 1.
