250MX
Cooper Webb is now the new points
leader in the 250MX class—he's the
third different one (Savatgy, Alex Mar-
tin and now Webb) so far this season.
Now seemingly fully healed from his
earlier wrist injury, the Yamalube/Star
Racing Yamaha Team rider collected
his second overall victory in a row
after going 1-1.
Webb, however, had to fight for
those wins. He battled back and forth
with a pesky Austin Forkner in the
first moto. After two laps, Webb finally
broke free of Forkner, who soon gave
way to his Monster Energy/Pro Cir-
cuit/Kawasaki teammate, Savatgy.
Savatgy was determined not to let
Webb get away and slowly but surely
reeled in the Yamaha rider. Only a few
Austin Forkner
(214) grabbed the
holeshot in the first
250MX moto ahead
of Aaron Plessinger
(289), Jeremy
Martin (1) and Zach
Osborne (16).
