Cooper Webb has accepted the blame on a bad decision that saw him take Jorge Prado and himself out early in the race as they battled for second.
Webb got back to sixth right behind Tomac but, if he had been more patient it could have been a bigger points gain in the championship! Webb is now 26 back of championship leader Tomac.
Webb said: “Detroit P6. Bummed on the night…I was ready to go and knew it was important to get the front quick to fight for the win. I made a bad decision that unfortunately ruined Jorge and I’s night. We’ll pick ourselves up and keep fighting in STL 👊🏼”
Prado said: “Detroit Supercross was a bit of a rough day! The Heat Race was actually not too bad. At the end of it, I found a good rhythm and was feeling good. In the Main Event, I had a super-good start – I got the holeshot, which was my main goal – and then I wanted to stay up front for as long as possible. Kenny [Roczen] passed me on, I think Lap 3, and then once he passed me, I really tried to stick with him, but another rider ended up taking me out and we both crashed.
“That impacted my rhythm from there, so we have some work to do – as always – but I am putting in maximum effort with my training and racing, so hopefully it’ll pay off soon. We’re taking a lot of this year’s Supercross championship as experience for next year, so it’s good that these things happen now so when we’re fighting up front in the coming years, we can be prepared and ready. It’s part of the process – we’ll learn and continue to get faster.”
