Reigning 450SX champion Cooper Webb continues to search for a setting that suits him for the 2021 Pro Motocross championship as the series heads for a two-week break before High Point.

After starting the season with a pair of eighth-place finishes, Webb and the Red Bull KTM team feel they’re closing on a more comfortable setting after making changes in the second moto last weekend at Thunder Valley.

“We’re kind of searching again – we made a lot of bike changes today and I actually felt a lot better in the second moto,” Webb explained. “I felt like we made the bike a lot better and I was feeling like I finally had some speed and could run upfront and then I had a little tip over.

“That spiked my heart rate and I got all flustered and got passed for ninth but I got back into a good flow and was able to catch Marvin with two to go.”

While it hasn’t been the start he was hoping for, he’s sitting seventh overall as the series heads to a two-week break before round three, giving him an opportunity to work on some things before hitting the track at High Point on 19 June.

“It’s a little bit of progress. We have a weekend off, so we’ll try to get the bike a little better, get faster and keep on grinding.”
