trim the field down to the top 15 riders
who compete in the final 30-minute main
event. And while Webb didn't dominate
the two knockout races like he has done
in the past, the Red Bull Factory KTM
rider can be forgiven for this transgres-
sion since he spent nine weeks on the
couch leading up to the race, recovering
final, outrunning Lettenbichler by one
minute and 28.186 seconds for the win.
Both Webb and Lettenbichler were riding
the new 2019 KTM 300 XC-W TPI.
In addition to races on Saturday, which
provide a path to Sunday's rounds for
the top riders, the Tennessee Knockout
consists of three races on Sunday that
iii My Own Race:
1 CODY WEBB 1ST PLACE
"It was unreal for me to get my sixth TKO win in a row!" Cody Webb said. "I was a little
stressed out coming into the event, just because I knew I wasn't as prepared as I would
have liked to be after breaking my foot and tearing my MCL. Skills-wise I felt comfortable
and my foot felt good, but physically I knew I wasn't in the best of shape just because it's
so hard to get ready when your foot is broken. I conserved a lot of energy throughout the
day and I knew the main event was the one that counted the most. I just want to thank the team, they did a really good job
helping us, giving us time splits and everything so I knew where I was. They really helped out a lot. I'm just so happy to be
able to take a big win like that straight off injury. It definitively feels good to be back racing. I felt like I belonged there and it's
awesome to take the win."
10 COLTON HAAKER 5TH PLACE
"This year was tough again, but by far, one of my best TKO's," said Colton Haaker. "I want
to give a huge shout out to the entire Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team for
everything they did to get me through the race. I had some good riding, but parts of the
course were very slippery and nasty."
Twenty-year-old
Manuel "Manni"
Lettenbichler of
Germany gave
the veteran racer
Webb a battle for
the win.
