Red Bull’s latest MX Nation clip has been released today, and it focuses on two bona fide rising stars in the professional motocross and supercross disciplines, Cooper Webb and Aaron Plessinger.
Both are members of the Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha team, and both are solidly inside the top 10 in the 2016 Lucas Oil 250cc Pro Motocross Championship series standings, but in some respects they could not be farther apart. Webb can’t be any higher in the order right now, as he leads the series with 372 points, having carded three overall wins and six moto wins in the 9 events run thus far, placing himself in a good position to collect his first career AMA National Motocross Championship title. Furthermore, despite missing out on the overall win during round nine of the series in Washougal, Washington, Webb is riding a wave of confidence after battling his way through a wrist injury at the start of the 2016 season.
Plessinger has had a solid building year in the class as well, and he currently runs seventh in the series standings, with 245 points. But as the video shows, the 20-year-old Ohioan has struggled to reach the podium in the outdoor series after having a strong supercross season where he netted his first career Monster Energy AMA Regional Supercross win at the Indy Supercross last April.
The video follows both riders as they train under the watchful eye of former Team Yamaha rider Gareth Swanepoel, who has since gone on to become one of the top trainers in the sport of motocross.
