Reigning Monster Energy AMA Supercross champion Cooper Webb has committed to the 2021 Paris Supercross in France this coming off-season.

Set to drop the gates on 6-7 November at Paris La Defense Arena, Webb’s signing is a major attraction for the high-profile off-season race.

Webb won a second 450SX crown this year, adding it to his 2019 title also won as part of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, and won no less than eight main events on his way to the 2021 championship.

Understood to have recently departed the Baker’s Factory training facility in Florida, Webb’s decision to line-up in Europe two months out from Anaheim 1’s 2022 opener serves as one of the first evident steps in his reinvigorated program.

The addition of Webb sees him join an anticipated strong list of US regulars in Paris, with Jett and Hunter Lawrence already recently confirmed. The event’s most recent edition was won by Justin Barcia in 2019, prior to being cancelled last year.
