COOPER WEBB
STILL HEALING
C
ooper Webb did not suit up for the March
4 Monster Energy AMA Supercross in
Toronto. The Monster Energy/Yamalube/
Chaparral/Yamaha Financial Services/Yama-
ha Factory Racing Team rider is still bothered
by the shoulder he injured at the Minneapolis
Supercross, February 18.
"I was really hoping that I could race in
Toronto, but my shoulder is still really sore,
and I need to give it a little more time before I
can return," Webb said. "I'm doing everything
I can to recover—listening to my trainer and
rehabbing—and I I hope to return to the track
soon." CN

MARTIN TO FILL IN
FOR ROCZEN
J
eremy Martin will get the
chance to race the injured
Ken Roczen's factory-backed
Honda at the March 11 Daytona
Supercross, which is sponsored
by Honda.
Martin rides for the Geico
Honda Team in the 250SX West
class, which is currently on
break, in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Se-
ries. This will be Martin's first race on a 450. This is
just a one-race deal, as he will return to the 250SX
West Series when it resumes on April 8 in Seattle.
"We're excited to have Jeremy riding for us at
the Daytona Supercross," said Team Honda HRC
manager Dan Betley. "Despite only a short amount
of time on the bike, he already feels very comfort-
able so I'm confident in his ability to deliver a solid
result. I'd like to thank Geico Honda for making
Jeremy available to us for this race."
Martin said, "I'm beyond excited that American
Honda is giving me the opportunity to ride a fac-
tory CRF450R. I'm also looking forward to making
my debut in the premier class at Daytona, one of
the most hyped up Supercross races of all time.
Everyone loves Daytona due to it being so differ-
ent so I'm excited to go race the best guys in the
world. I'd love to get a solid finish for Honda since
they sponsor the event." CN
