Four rounds into the 2021 AMA Supercross Championship, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing\u2019s Cooper Webb<\/a> is beginning to step into his stride as he raced his way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh off his first victory of 2021 last weekend, Webb came into 450SX Heat 1 with significant momentum as he grabbed a third-place start aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He settled in behind his teammate Musquin early on, and he maintained an excellent pace to carry a third-place transfer into the Main Event ultimately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Webb got off to a top-10 start in the main and worked<\/a> his way up to sixth early.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Webb continued to get stronger as the race wore on and he kept his focus on landing in podium contention late in the race.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With five laps to go, the 2019 450SX Champion made his move into third. And he charged his way to the checkers for his second straight podium appearance in the first four rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quotes<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Webb:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cNailed my start in the Main Event, but I got shuffled back in the first few turns. The leaders just got out front, and they rode excellent.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Got buried in fifth, and it was hard to make passes tonight, you had to be patient and wait for some mistakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I dug deep, AC [Adam Cianciarulo] and I had a good battle<\/a> at the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

And I was able to get the third place, but you can\u2019t give Ken [Roczen] and Eli [Tomac] that kind of track position.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

And we saw what they did tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Looking for redemption after a tough night in Houston, Musquin came out with great intensity through the day\u2019s qualifying sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where he raced his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to a second-place qualifying position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He got off to a second-place start in 450SX Heat 1, and he rode confidently to secure the second-place spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Main Event, Musquin didn\u2019t get off the line as quickly as he wanted, and as a result, he found himself mid-pack early on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working his way through the pack, Musquin took an off-track excursion to avoid collision with another rider, and he ended up going down, beginning the second lap in dead last.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He fought his way up as high as ninth-place, but he found himself on the ground again later in the race and ultimately salvaged 10th place after a rollercoaster of a ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

More quotes<\/h3>\n

Musquin:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI felt good with the bike all day, and the qualifying second was excellent.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I was confident going into the Main Event and then waiting for the gate to drop.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I think Adam [Cianciarulo] flinched, so I moved, and the gate<\/a> felt like it didn\u2019t drop as quick as usual, which messed me up, and my start was terrible.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I tried to push as hard as I could on the first lap, but it went from bad to worse.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I had to jump off to the side of the track when a rider cross-jumped in front of me and I crashed again and lost more time.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I put my head down and passed one guy at a time, and I saw another opportunity to give later in the race, but I washed the front-end and went down again.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I am super disappointed, I felt like I could have fought and come back, even with a bad start, to a top-five or on the podium but we\u2019ll regroup.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We have two days of rest, and I want to get back out there and do my best again.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0250SX East<\/h3>\n

Team rider Maximus Vohland could not line up for Saturday\u2019s night program after suffering a practice crash earlier in the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rookie secured a strong seventh-place qualifying position in the 250SX East division before getting transported to the local hospital where doctors confirmed that he had sustained a dislocated hip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately for Vohland, the X-Ray showed no bone damage, and doctors were able to perform a \u201cclosed reduction\u201d to put his hip back in place, allowing him to release from hospital on Saturday evening.<\/span><\/p>\n
