On January 6, the 50th season of Monster Energy Supercross will kick off in Anaheim, California, featuring Justin Cooper of the Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team in the 450cc class. Cooper, the 2021 AMA Pro Racing 250SX West champion, is making the transition to the premier 450SX division, where he will compete against the world’s top supercross racers. With previous successful performances in the 450cc Supercross events, including top 10 finishes in several main events, Cooper is determined to prove himself on a full-time basis. Cooper’s move from California to Tallahassee has provided a different perspective on life and a change of pace, allowing him to focus on new aspects of his training. As a rookie in the class, Cooper finds it surreal to have teammates like Eli Tomac and Cooper Webb, both champions in the 450cc division, whose presence and energy he feeds off of. Cooper describes himself as a fighter and is committed to giving his maximum effort and not giving up until the end. Participating in five Supercross main events this year allowed Cooper to gain valuable experience, learn the class, competitors, and improve his understanding of the bike and track conditions, which he believes will aid him in his upcoming season.
