Webb Signs Supercross-
Only Contract
T
wo-time Supercross Cham-
pion Cooper Webb signed
a one-year contract extension
with the Red Bull KTM Team.
The Supercross-only deal will
see Webb racing with the team
through the 2023 AMA Super-
cross season.
His new contract, however,
includes the option to compete
in the outdoor AMA Pro Moto-
cross Championship, which he
chose to skip this year.
The next time we will see
Webb compete again will be at
the Paris Supercross, Novem-
ber 12-13.
And speaking of the Paris
Supercross, Webb will have
his hands full with the confir-
mation that Eli Tomac and the
Lawrence brothers, Jett and
Hunter, will also compete in the
race.

New Venue Announced
For MXGP of Finland
I
nfront Moto Racing together
with Lahti Events Ltd., the orga-
nizer of the upcoming MXGP of
Finland, the FIM and FIM Eu-
rope, announced that an alterna-
tive venue has been selected
to host the Finnish Grand Prix,
August 13-14.
The event, that was originally set
to take place in Iitti-KymiRing, will
instead head back to an old favorite
venue, Vauhtipuisto in Hyvinkaa.
Hyvinkaa is located approxi-
mately 40 miles from the capital
Helsinki and has been part of the
FIM Motocross World Champion-

ance back in 1965.
Most recently, MXGP visited
Hyvinkaa in 2014, with Antonio
Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings victori-
ous in MXGP and MX2, but since
then, in the fall of 2017 the venue
has undergone some renovations
to bring some variety and interest
back to the track.
