Why Did Cooper Webb Rush Back to Florida After San Diego? | Phil Nicoletti Explains

Phil Nicoletti sheds light on why defending Supercross champion Cooper Webb was quick to fly back to Tallahassee, Florida immediately after a disappointing 8th place finish at Round 2 in San Diego. With Webb getting off to a slower start than expected in 2026, both he and teammate Justin Cooper wasted no time leaving California to regroup and get back to work ahead of Anaheim 2. Nicoletti explains that the decision wasn’t Webb’s call, believes Cooper hasn’t been riding as poorly as results suggest, and emphasizes the team’s urgency to make improvements before the championship starts slipping away.
