Cooper Webb has a first match ball in Denver this Saturday, but certain conditions must be met to become triple champion of the United States of Supercross 450.
Solid Pittsburgh winner At the end of April, Cooper Webb relegated its runner -up to the general classification, Chase Sexton, at 13 points. The KTM driver is the last to be able to compete in the title, Ken Roczen being mathematically eliminated, and anyway forfeit this weekend. There will remain 25 units to be taken at the end of the Denver final this Saturday. The Yamaha pilot therefore has a chance to be titled. Two tracks must be studied for this.
In the first case, Cooper Webb wins in Denver and he then only needed 25 points ahead of his rival to be sacred. Indeed, Chase Sexton could at best only come back to Equality to Salt Lake City, and the department (number of victories, then second, third, third …) is favorable to Yamaha n ° 2.
-In the second case, Cooper Webb is not essential in Denver. It would then take 26 margin points on Chase Sexton to be sheltered. Because if the KTM pilot were winning in Salt Lake City and equalizing his opponent, he would have one more victory … and the department would go in his favor.
We grant you, it’s a bit complex. Don’t panic, a green motorcycle has taken out its calculator to make your life easier.

– he wins and sexton finishes 10th (or less well)
– He finishes 2nd and Sexton finished 14th (or less well)
