Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb is likely out for round 15 of Monster Energy Supercross in Nashville after a nasty incident in the first 450 heat race.
Despite starting the race in second place behind his rival Eli Tomac, Webb crashed early on when he lost control of his motorcycle. This caused Adam Cianciarulo, who was closely following Webb, to collide with him violently as he had no time to react, hitting Webb’s head with his front wheel.
