Much to the detriment of the series in our opinion, rookie 450cc supercross rider Cooper Webb will once again be out of action when round 10 of the 2017 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series heads to Daytona International Speedway this weekend for the Daytona Supercross by Honda.
Webb, who crashed and suffered a shoulder injury while racing at the Minneapolis Supercross on February 18. Today, Yamaha issued another press release to announce that Webb will miss the Daytona Supercross. The press release is as follows:
Cypress, CA – March 8, 2017 –Monster Energy/Yamalube/Chaparral/Yamaha Financial Services/Yamaha Factory Racing Team rider will miss this Saturday’s Daytona Supercross as he continues to recover from the shoulder injury he sustained last month at the Minneapolis Supercross. The announcement was made by Keith McCarty, Motorsports Racing Division Manager for Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.
McCarty said, “Cooper gave it a go on Wednesday and tested the fitness of his shoulder in practice aboard his #2 Yamaha YZ450F, but he doesn’t feel that he’s ready yet to return to racing. The Daytona track can be one of the toughest on the Supercross schedule, and it’s certainly no place for a rider who is not 100%. Cooper will continue to aggressively rehab his shoulder and get back to his fans and racing as quickly as possible.”
