Yamaha: Cooper Webb Set for “Minor Procedure” on Knee Following RedBud Injury, Out Until SMX Playoffs

As we covered earlier this week, it was a tough outing for Cooper Webb at the RedBud National over the weekend. Webb twisted his knee in the second qualifying session, then was dead last with bent bars after a second turn crash early in moto one. He charged up to tenth but then ran out of gas in the final turn on the final lap. The 2025 450SX Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion did bounce back to finish eighth in moto two, ending his day with a finish about where he has been every moto so far this summer. The end of Webb’s quote in a post-race release from Yamaha said the following:

Now, Yamaha has provided an update, stating Webb will “undergo a minor procedure to have his knee cleaned up.” The statement also notes he will miss the remainder of Pro Motocross and will focus on his return in the SuperMotocross World Championship Playoff round one in September. Webb (516 points) currently leads the 450SMX qualifying standings, as he has a 14-point lead over teammate Justin Cooper (502 points). Webb will likely drop several positions and enter in a deficit as opposed to having the three-point advantage. View the full standings below.
