UPDATE 17/3/2022

Piccolo aggiornamento che arriva direttamente da Cooper Webb tramite i social, il ragazzo preferisce correre che stare a casa in convalescenza:

Cooper Webb:

Aggiornamento rapido per voi ragazzi. Finìto con una contusione ossea alla spalla e frattura del 2° metacarpo. Nel complesso me la sono cavata facilmente. Vengo pagato per correre, quindi ci vediamo a Indy 👊🏽

Quick update for you guys. Ended up with a bone contusion to the shoulder and fracture of the 2nd metacarpal. Overall I got off easy. I get paid to race, so I’ll see you in Indy 👊🏽

DETROIT, Michigan – È stata una notte impegnativa di gare a Detroit per il Round 10 del campionato AMA Supercross, ma Marvin Musquin della Red Bull KTM Factory Racing ha minimizzato gli errori per uscire illeso e appena fuori dal podio della 450SX al quarto posto assoluto. Sfortunatamente, il suo compagno di squadra, Cooper Webb, è stato uno dei top rider che ha subito incidenti di fine gara mentre combatteva in testa durante il Main Event.

Nel Main Event, Webb è partito alla grande e si è subito imposto nella battaglia per il podio. Superando il suo compagno di squadra Musquin per il terzo posto al quarto giro, il campione in carica ha continuato a confondersi con un intenso gruppo di top rider davanti. Mentre era quarto più avanti nella gara, Webb ha commesso un errore nella sezione ritmica ed è stato colpito a mezz’aria da un altro pilota, con il risultato che entrambi i piloti si sono schiantati a terra. Webb è risalito in sella e ha tentato di fare un paio di giri prima di ritirarsi per ricevere cure mediche in loco.

Il Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team ha fornito un aggiornamento a partire da sabato sera: “È giusto dire che Cooper era piuttosto sconvolto quando è atterrato. All’osservazione iniziale del dottore qui alla pista della sua spalla e della sua mano, non sembra che nulla fosse rotto, ma ha in programma di avere un’ulteriore valutazione e raggi X quando tornerà a casa in Florida lunedì.

Cooper Webb: Sono contento che entrambi ce ne siamo andati da quell’incidente a Detroit. Ho commesso un errore che ha posto fine alla notte di Chase e mia. Quello è su di me. Pensavo di poter tornare indietro e recuperare alcuni punti, ma ho dovuto finire prima la serata.

Andrò a fare il check-out e ho intenzione di vedervi a Indy 👊🏽

DETROIT, Mich. – It was a challenging night of racing in Detroit for Round 10 of the AMA Supercross Championship but Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin minimized the mistakes to come away unscathed and just outside the 450SX podium in fourth overall. Unfortunately, his teammate, Cooper Webb, was one of a few top riders who suffered race-ending crashes while battling up front during the Main Event.
 
Musquin, the sixth-place qualifier, grabbed a top-three start in 450SX Heat 1 and he established himself in the lead battle early on. Putting in 10 consistent laps aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, the Frenchmen secured a third-place finish in the heat. 
 
In the Main Event, Musquin had a great jump off the line and he charged his way into a fierce battle up front on the opening lap. He diced back-and-forth inside podium contention for the first few laps before getting shuffled outside the top-five midway through the race. While making a charge for third, Musquin surrendered to the slick conditions late in the race and washed his front-end in a corner. Despite losing significant time on the podium charge, he was able to maintain his fourth-place position through the checkers.
 
Marvin Musquin: “It was a crazy night of racing. In the main, I got a good start and ended up second with Bogle in front of me. I should have passed him but I wasn’t good in the whoops and I lost a couple spots. On the split-lane, I was taking the inside and the outside was better so people just got by me and I dropped. After that, I started getting into a better rhythm and obviously a lot of guys went down. I was trying to pass Barcia towards the end and I lost the front-end and that could have been a podium for me, but I’m just glad I finished healthy and going home.”
 
In 450SX Heat 2, Webb grabbed a top-three start aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION and charged his way into second early on. Engaging in a three-way battle for the early lead, he diced back-and-forth for a few laps before settling into third and he went on to secure a top-three transfer spot.
 
In the Main Event, Webb got off to a great start and asserted himself into the podium battle right away. Passing his teammate Musquin for third on lap four, the defending champ continued to mix it up with an intense group of top riders up front. While running fourth later in the race, Webb made a mistake through the rhythm section and got clipped mid-air by another rider, resulting in both riders crashing to the ground. Webb re-mounted and attempted a couple laps before pulling off to receive on-site medical attention. 
 
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team provided an update as of Saturday evening: “It’s fair to say that Cooper was pretty banged up when he was landed on. Upon initial observation by the doctor here at the track of his shoulder and hand, it doesn’t appear that anything is broken, but he plans to have further evaluation and X-Rays when he returns home to Florida on Monday.”
 

Cooper Webb: Glad we both walked away from that one in Detroit. I made a mistake that ended Chase and I’s nights. That one’s on me. Thought I could get back on and salvage some points, but had to call it a night early.

Going to get checked out and plan on seeing you guys in Indy 👊🏽
