Cooper Webb says it feels good to be back on the podium after a terrible last season but, after some direct words to his team in the off-season, and going ina completely new direction with the bike. Webb feels he is back in a spot to challenge for a title.
“It feels good to be up here again, for sure,” said Webb after A1 in the press conference. “We had a really, really good off-season and fixed a lot of stuff with myself, with the bike. I was definitely a dick this off-season, but I got what I needed from the team and I feel like we’re in a really good spot. I knew what I’m capable of, so I expected the three right here (Webb, Tomac, Sexton), for us to go all the way and we’ll see what happens at the end. (It) just really does feel good to be back on the podium. I sucked last year, so it feels nice.
“We’ve changed pretty much everything on this thing (the bike). So, we’ve done a lot. It’s tough. You definitely get down and you start to doubt yourself, but I never really lost doubt in my ability, for sure. At our level, we’re all fit. We’re all fast. You need comfort, and without that it’s tough. I think I look at F1 and look at Lewis Hamilton this year. But it’s good to be back up here.”
“I feel really, really good on the bike. I feel strong. I feel like we’re in a good, raceable spot. So I’m excited to see where this season takes us.”
With Webb up there already with Sexton and Tomac, things could get very intense in 2023!
