Hello Hivers!
So the only riders name on everyones lips in 2019 was Red Bull KTM Fctory Racing's new signing Cooper Webb. Most people had written Cooper off as a 250 guy after continued bad starts and injury issues since moving up to the premier 450 class.
Cooper never really gelled with the 450 Yamaha like he did with the 250 and i know there are a few other riders that have had similar issues with it. Justin 'BamBam' Barcia runs his engine stock as he found the factory engine was too powerful for his agressive riding style. Pretty nuts when you think about it, kinda detuning the bike for being too fast...
Since he arrived at KTM though Web has refound his drive and everuything seems to have clicked into place under their guidance and with Musquin returning soon from injury the team is looking it's strongest since Dungey was in the lineup. Good times for KTM head? I think so.
