COOPER WEBB
The #17 of Cooper Webb hasn’t quite found the flow through the first four rounds of the summer but
has managed to keep himself within arm’s length of the points leader, Joey Savatgy. Suffering with the lingering pain of a broken navicular in his wrist at start of the season, it’s obvious as to what’s been ailing

Heading into round five, back at the track where he won the first overall of his career in 2014, Cooper searches for momentum to turn it up a notch and close the gap on points leader Joey Savatgy.
