Webb To Tedder Racing C ooper Webb is now a Team Tedder Husqvarna team rider for 2027. With Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing closing up shop, Team Tedder now re- ceives factory-level support from the Austrian brand, along with new sponsors like Rocky Moun- tain ATV/MC and Monster Energy. Webb, the three-time Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champi- on, made his debut with the team this weekend at the Motocross of Nations in Ernee, France. "I'm very excited for the future," said the former Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha and Red Bull KTM Team rider, Webb. "Team Tedder and their entire family have given me an awesome opportunity to go racing on my own terms and put together a program that I believe is capable of chasing champion- ships. I'll make my debut this weekend aboard the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition for Team USA at the Motocross of Na- tions. It'll be my first time com- peting on the Husqvarna, but it gives me a lot of confidence to return to a platform that I've had so much success on throughout my career. Early in my career, Roger [DeCoster] and their entire crew helped turn my 450 career around, so it's a special moment to once again have them sup- porting me during the later part of my career. I've got a lot of fight left in me, and I'm motivat- ed to get back on top." "We're really excited about what we've put together for next year," said team manager Dakota Tedder. "Bringing Cooper onto Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, Monster Energy, Team Tedder, Husqvarna, along with Justin Hill, and making the move to Husqvarna is a huge step for our team and family. We've been do- ing this a long time, and our goal has always been to keep that family feel, while continuing to grow the team and put ourselves in a position to race for wins and championships. Having a guy like Cooper believe in what we're building means a lot to us. He knows what he wants, he knows what it takes to win, and we've been able to put together a pro- gram around him that I think is going to be very special." Justin Hill continues with the team into the 2027 season. The 450SX/MX rider will continue wearing Leatt protective gear.
