Cooper is Deegan\u2019s teammate Cooper Webb<\/a>. The two have been digging together both through the Southwick test day and at Daxton Bennick<\/a>\u2019s old North Carolina property, which has sand. Webb\u2019s progressing, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest result so far of the season with a sixth is awesome,\u201d said Webb. \u201cStill struggling being sick, so that was a burner. Lungs were burning, legs were burning, heart rate through the roof. It was an absolute suffer. So proud of myself. It’s been a long time since I’ve been, even though it’s a sixth, for me, that’s a good result. I was pumped with that and made progress. Ran with Marchbanks for a few laps, which was great. So that’s all we’re trying to do is get closer to that top five. And today we took a big step. Team did a great job with a bike change and even though it’s not a podium, it’s good to get an interview finally and keep digging. And yeah, it’s nothing like suffering at Southwick. It’s a crazy feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webb is expected to be departing Yamaha at the end of this season. He\u2019s still doing what he can to help his current teammate and likely future rival.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Haiden always gotten along great,\u201d says Webb. \u201cHe’s always been a training partner, but now we’re teammates and obviously he’s another level of me outdoors, but if there’s anything I can help him with, I try to. We’ve been doing a lot of testing together, trying to get him more comfortable. Obviously, I don’t have his speed, but if I can help him get a better result and the team get a better result, that’s what we’re going to try to do. Did a test here. I think it paid off and hopefully it can help him get a little better, get me better. Just trying to be a team player at this point in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cooper is Deegan\u2019s teammate Cooper Webb.
