A STARRY FINISH
Cooper Webb made it a Yama-
lube/Star Racing Yamaha Team
1-2 after he too put in two stellar
rides. He didn't get the starts like
Martin did — not even close — but
he passed some big guns of the
class along the way before lock-
ing down a pair of second-place
finishes for second overall. His
first moto was quite impressive
after starting the race off in 11
th
place.
"It was an awesome day with
Jeremy and me going 1-2," Webb
said. "But my starts sucked today,
so I had to come up through the
pack in both motos, but I would
say it was a good day and I'm
happy with the result. Last year I
ended the season off with a po-
dium finish and getting a second
overall here is my best finish ever,
so it's a good start to the season.
It's a long season and I'm just try-
ing to have fun and take it race
by race."
However, it wasn't a com-
pletely joyful day for the Star Ya-
maha Team. Its third member,
Anthony Rodriguez, suffered a
concussion after getting caught
up in that first-turn pileup in the
second 250 moto that caused a
red flag and a restart. Rodriguez
was running fifth in the first moto
when he went down on the third
lap and dropped to last place. He
finished out the race in 24
th
.
MOTOCROSS GUY
Cole Seely might be better
Josh Grant (33) grabbed the holeshot
in the first 450 moto and never looked
back. Roczen (94) gave him at fight at
the end but Grant held on for the win.
