In the first race, Webb reeled in
early leader Blazusiak after getting off
to a midpack start. Webb, on his FMF
KTM 350 EXC-F, was riding flawlessly
and quickly opened up a comfortable
lead after getting around Blazusiak
and eventually took the checkered flag
with a 4.5-second cushion over the
rider from Poland. Haaker was third but
another 30 seconds back.
German rider Kevin Gallas (Husqvar-
na) was fourth, while Spain's Cristobal
Guerrero (Yamaha) was fifth.
Despite starting at a disadvantage in
the reverse grid in race two, Webb still
managed to shoot straight to the front
and open up a huge lead over Haaker,
taking the checkered flag with 19 sec-
onds to spare.
Blazusiak finished three second
behind Haaker for third, while Guer-
rero and fellow Spaniard Pol Tarres
(Husqvarna) rounded out the top five.
In the final race, Webb was going for
the hat trick but a couple of mistakes
early in the race ruined those hopes,
but he still rode well for third, which
was more than enough to sew up the
overall victory.
Blazusiak capped of the evening's
racing with the win, with Haaker taking
second.
