Two-time 450SX champion Cooper Webb is reporting that he’s largely escaped injury in his AUSX Open scare last night, sustaining whiplash in the second race fall that ended his evening.

Webb dominated the opening encounter, but the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider appeared injured upon crashing out of race two, just moments after Jett Lawrence went down in the same turn.

After exiting Marvel Stadium clutching his left arm/wrist, Webb quickly took to social media afterwards to provide an update on his status. He didn’t return for the remainder of the night.

“Just wanted to give everyone an AUS update,” Webb explained. “Won race one and then had an unfortunate incident with Mossy in race two and went down.

“Fortunately, all good, just some whiplash. Appreciate all the love, and hate that I didn’t get to finish the night out for the Aussie fans.”

A more serious injury could have proven disastrous for this year’s Monster Energy AMA Supercross runner-up, only six weeks out from Anaheim 1’s 2025 season-opener. Hunter Lawrence went on to win the overall, as Joey Savatgy clinched the Australian SX1 title.
