450 MAIN EVENT RESULTS // 2023 OAKLAND SUPERCROSS

The 2023 Oakland Supercross is set to be an exciting one. Cooper Webb has some momentum because he’s coming off his first win of the season. Chase Sexton is fired up to win after leading most of the Main Event at Tampa and crashing in the whoops, and Eli Tomac is looking for redemption after finishing fifth last weekend. Plus, Aaron Plessinger wants to back up his podium, while Jason Anderson and Ken Roczen want to get back on the podium and secure their first wins of the season.

The long whoop sections will play a large factor in the results of tonight’s 450SX Main Event. Usually, Cooper Webb struggles in the whoops, but he’s been doing better in them this year, and the whoops have been breaking down quite a bit in practice, which has allowed riders to jump through them at speed. If they turn into jumpers tonight, Cooper Webb’s odds of winning go up even more.

450 MAIN EVENT RESULTS

Eli Tomac wins the 450 Main Event, but Cooper Webb made it close at the finish!

Chase Sexton grabbed the holeshot with Eli Tomac second and Cooper Webb third. The 450 Main Event couldn’t be scripted any better. Aaron Plessinger was very impressive, making his way passed Jason Anderson to get into fourth and keep his teammate, Cooper Webb in sight. Justin Barcia pushed Colt Nichols off the track battling just inside of the top ten, then he took out Adam Cianciarulo for seventh place. Barcia caught up to Jason Anderson, but he wasn’t able to pass him.

Chase Sexton led up until 6 minutes to go, but he crashed on the triple after the finish line and went down. Chase got up in second place and had a few seconds on Cooper Webb still, but Cooper was able to catch up to him late in the race. Eli Tomac took the gift from Chase Sexton and rode smoothly out front. Then, with two laps to go, Cooper Webb made the pass on Sexton for second place. The track is tough tonight in Oakland with ruts all throughout and kickers on every whoop.

On the last lap, Eli Tomac made a mistake and Cooper Webb closed in on him, getting close to making the pass on the last lap, but Eli held him off to take the 48th win of his career.

Cooper Webb wasn’t the fastest rider tonight, but he still came on strong at the end.
