CHAMPIONSHIP
THE MAN ON WEBB
KTM's Director of Motorsports
Roger DeCoster said of Cooper
Webb, "There have been many
great champions over the years
but when it comes to race craft
and the really deep desire to
win, Cooper is special, and he
ranks at the very top. Even when
it was not necessary to win
today—he could have just rode
around and 18th would have
been sufficient—but he decided
he wanted to win the race and
it was very impressive how he
ended the season. The guy has
so much heart, he keeps im-
pressing me time after time and
I'm really thankful for that."
HARRISON'S
OBSERVATION
Ian Harrison, the Red Bull KTM
team manager, said, "This
season I think was Cooper's
strongest season—he got his
most wins and the competition
was really stiff from Honda and
Kawasaki, but he just fought his
way through there. What a fight-
er, he was exceptionally strong
at the end of all the races, and
he put up a battle with so many
guys on the last lap and came
out victorious many times. Once
we got to round four, he really
found his groove and then he
took command of the points
lead around the middle mark of
the season and there was no
looking back."
Briefly...

up his second Supercross
championship in three years,
and he did it in style by
winning.
