The 2021 AMA Supercross Championship continues its track action in Arlington, Texas with the 450SX Main Event on Tuesday. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing‘s Cooper Webb maintains his momentum with another victory and this extends his championship lead to 12 points. He will be heading to Round 12 of the 2021 AMA Supercross Championship on Saturday to secure a hat trick.

Teammate Marvin Musquin did not line up on Tuesday after suffering a hard crash during his heat race on Saturday. The French rider received stitches immediately after the race and doctors later confirmed that he did not sustain any broken bones; however, due to the quick turnaround in the series schedule, Musquin was not cleared to race as soon as today. Upon clearance from the medical staff, Musquin looks to make a return on Saturday for the final round of racing in Arlington, Texas.

Cooper Webb (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing)- As It Happened

“That was a huge confidence booster for me, to lead the whole race again with that amount of pressure. Eli was probably the faster guy tonight but I just tried to hit my marks and not make any mistakes. After that [practice] crash today, sometimes it’s good for you to get those big hits, get that fear back in you and ride the thing that kicked you off. I’m super pumped on that Main Event, to battle with those guys and be able to lead wire to wire, it’s awesome.”
