Cooper Webb clinches WSX opener in Calgary after weather-cut race

Cooper Webb was declared the winner of the World Supercross season-opening event in Calgary after a thunderstorm halted the final race.

At McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Cooper Webb secured the win at the opening round of the World Supercross series after the finale was shortened by a thunderstorm. He had finished second in Moto 1 and claimed victory in Moto 2, leading the Main Event when officials called a red flag. Dean Wilson, who posted two third-place results, earned the runner-up spot, while Webb's Rick Ware Racing teammate Justin Hill captured the first moto win but dropped to third overall after a fifth place in the second moto.

Vince Friese, riding a Stark electric dirt bike, achieved fourth overall with fourth and sixth place finishes. Jason Anderson's title defence was hampered by a crash in the opening moto and a ninth-place finish in the second, leaving him with only two points for the night.

Why it matters

The result sets the early standings for the WSX season and highlights weather’s impact on race outcomes.
