Factory KTM's Cooper Webb suffered a violent crash during Main Event 2 of the Arlington Triple Crown but the defending champion has been cleared of any broken bones.
Webb was taken to the hospital immediately after the crash where doctors performed scans revealing a hematoma with deep bone bruising to his pelvis as well as his sacrum.
The KTM Factory Team has not yet confirmed whether Webb will be in a condition to ride this weekend in Atlanta but his comments on social media suggest he’ll be racing. Stay tuned for an update.
Webb had a great start to the day, where he qualified fourth overall in the 450SX division. In the first Main Event, he powered his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into second early on and he maintained a solid pace to finish with a runner-up position in race one. In the second race, he didn’t get off to the best start but he worked his way into fourth by lap 11. While making a podium charge late in the race, Webb experienced a big crash in the ‘dragon’s back’ section, which left him unable to continue racing.
