Interview
ROUND 8
2019 Monster Energy Supercross Series Champion Cooper Webb
seemingly came out of nowhere to sweep both motos in Min-
nesota. Meanwhile, even though he struggled a bit to slot in at
third overall, Tomac kept at it with his remarkable consistency.
"I would say Cooper Webb was kind of an underdog in super-
cross, and he was maybe underestimated, and he went out
there and won the whole deal. All that considered, I think

that I did not ride as well on my favorite
tracks this season. Southwick and Millville,
those are the tracks I'm always amped-up on
to go racing, but for some reason, I didn't have
my best results there. It was like that at Mill-
ville, too. I was wishy-washy. I mean, I went 2-5. I
struggled with flow and getting going. It was a day
of minimizing damage, you know?"
