While all eyes will be on the Eli Tomac vs. Jeffrey Herlings battle, and the championship chase by Antonio Cairoli, a guy on a new blue bike—Cooper Webb—will be looking to once again show the world he is special. Cooper Webb will race the 2018 Yamaha at the USGP and we all hope he can match the top GP riders.

Cooper said from his Instagram account yesterday, “very excited to swing my leg over the 2018 bike this weekend at the MXGP.” Cooper has struggled all year on the 2017 Yamaha, but we look forward to seeing how the 2016 Charlotte MX2 USGP winner will do this weekend on the all new 2018 machine.

Solid day at Ironman yesterday. Qualified 5th and went 6-5 for 5th OA. Glad to end the season with a good result and very excited to swing my leg over the 2018 bike this weekend at the MXGP.
