WEBB
RESTS UP
T
iming is everything. For Mon-
ster Energy AMA 250 West
Supercross points leader Coo-
per Webb, who injured his shoul-
der at last weekend's San Diego
Supercross, will use the upcom-
ing two-month break in the West
Championship to heal up. The
break certainly comes at a right
time for the Yamalube Star Rac-
ing Yamaha Team rider.
Webb, who suffered the injury
when he crashed during practice
at Petco Park, managed to ride
through the injury to win the main
event later that evening, but now
he'll have to rest up.
Word from the team is that
Webb will have to stay off the
bike for a while, but he'll be able
to continue with his training and
is expected to suit up for the next
round of the championship in
Houston, April 11.
