Cooper Webb Wins in Texas

Cooper Webb took the latest Supercross victory. Round 3 of the opening round triple-header was held in Houston. Webb snagged the holeshot once the gate dropped, but Ken Roczen made a move to pass for the lead.

Justin Barcia was the fastest rider on the track but went down in a crash on a sand section. His hopes of winning the event would quickly fade away. Roczen had settled into a comfortable lead until Webb stepped up his game towards the very end of the race. Roczen had to pass lapped rider and that’s when Webb charged back to the front.

In the 250 SX East class, Christian Craig took an early lead in the race. Colt Nichols made a move and took over the lead. Craig fought back and regained his spot. Nichols wasn’t having any of it and took the lead one final time for the race win.

With three rounds in the books the points standings are beginning to shape up. Ken Roczen leads Cooper Webb by one point. Colt Nichols and Christian Craig are tied. Round 4 will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana this Saturday.
