Cooper Webb has officially joined the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Monster Energy Team Tedder Husqvarna organization for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old rider will campaign a Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition in the 2027 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.

Webb arrives with a career milestone of 32 podium finishes during his time at Star Racing. He recently placed fourth overall in the Open classification at the 2026 FIM Motocross of Nations in Ernee, France.
