Dude won’t lay down and his bar to bar tactics are second to none. Glad to be able to watch him ride.
And im an old "Walsh Racecraft" rider lol
Rather, in the MC/RC eras we are more accustomed to seeing a run of domination in one series or another.....yet, when a battle plays out we don't give the victor the accolades they deserve.
level rider. Don’t think he’ll have anything for ET3 outdoors but if they both come into next season riding like they are now, 21’ is going to be one hell of a battle for SX Championship. Tomac’s otherworldly raw speed vs Webb being the vastly superior/consistent starter & overall racecraft that makes me question if he has a 2nd set of eyes in the back of his head. Should make for good TV.
You forgot (Drink)
Love that Cooper dragged this out another week. Anything can happen is STILL an option.
Wednesday Wonder, Webb-wagon race-craft (drink) at it's finest.

But he has a will to win and a racecraft that we havent seen in a long time. Kid can dig deep and pull off some amazing stuff. How some of you can deny this I cannot understand. Have you not been watching the racing these last 2 years? And didnt you watch him in the 250s?
You dont have to like a rider to respect him.
Still his character when he has to dig deep is a quality only champions possess.
And, no you never hear much in the way of excuses out of him and he never blamed the Yamaha. I think sometimes dealing with a situation that just isn't going to work can make us extra ready and better able to capitalize on a situation that will work.
He earned the #1 plate last year, no doubt in my mind.
But one thing Tomac's recent charges from the back of the pack, have led me to wonder is, just how many guys out there can do that?
So I wouldn't start handing any more #1 plates to CW just yet - what if Tomac figures out starts - but you can bet that if he is able he'll be towards the front battling for it.
But I've always appreciated him as a racer. The guy has an ugly riding style and is not the most talented out there. He just has a massive chip on his shoulder and a ton of heart. He figures out ways to win, feeds off the pressure, and never stops. Watching him beat Roczen in Dallas on the last turn was the most exciting thing I've ever seen at a race.
Remember, even Webb said he was surprised DeCoster wanted him at that moment in his career. The KTM bike has some to do with it but I think it is the whole KTM program with Aldon that has raised his performance so much.
