Round two of the 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship is this Saturday at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Monster Energy/Knich/Yamaha Factory Racing team ā€“ with riders Cooper Webb (#2) and Justin Barcia (#51) aboard their all-new, factory-prepared YZ450F machines–are ready to send it onto the podium.

Cooper said: ā€œIā€™m looking forward to Houston. I got the first-race jitters out of the way at Anaheim, and I know what I need to improve on. I won my first championship in Houston, so that city and NRG Stadium bring back good memories for me. It should be a good one this weekend!ā€

ā€œIā€™m very excited to be racing in Houston this weekend,ā€ commented last weekā€™s third-place finisher Justin. ā€œNRG Stadium is an incredible venue, and the dirt is always interesting there. Sometimes, itā€™s really tacky and, other times, it can be hard pack, so that should make the racing fun. I had an awesome race last weekend at A1, and I look forward to backing it up this weekend in Texas!ā€
