After months of speculation, it has been officially announced that Cooper Webb is leaving KTM Factory Racing. Both parties have mutually agreed to part ways immediately.

Ian Harrison, the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager, expressed his gratitude to Cooper Webb for their successful partnership. Together, they achieved 52 podium finishes in the 450SX class, including 21 victories. They won the 450SX titles in 2019 and 2021, had a strong second-place finish in 2020, and finished third this year despite Webb’s season-ending crash in Nashville.

Webb had the option to race in the AMA Pro Motocross series in 2023 but decided against it after his season-ending crash in Nashville. However, he later contacted KTM about racing in the MX series, and they agreed to support him for the summer. Unfortunately, a practice crash before RedBud caused Webb to be sidelined once again.

Both Webb and the team have now decided to go their separate ways. This will give Webb time to recover and move on to the next chapter of his racing career. The team and Ian Harrison wish him the best. Webb’s championship bikes and trophies will continue to be proudly displayed in the KTM race shop lobby.

Webb joined Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in 2019 and won his first 450SX Championship in that same year. He then claimed another premier class crown in 2021 riding the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.

During their partnership from 2019 to 2023, Webb and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing recorded a total of 21 Main Event wins in the 450SX division of the AMA Supercross Championship. They also secured a single round victory in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship 450MX in 2019. The entire team wishes Cooper Webb all the best in his future endeavors.
