Tarres was fourth and Guer- rero fifth. In the overall standings, it was Webb (57 points), Blazusiak (53), Haaker (52), Guerrero (35) and Tarres (33). In the championship, Webb now leads but with only a two- point advantage over Blazusiak, 109-107. Haaker is third with 101 points, followed by Gallas with 58 and Tarres with 56. "It feels awesome to come away with the victory here in Germany, as well as the points lead in the championship," Webb said. "I think this is my third win here in Riesa, so I seem to have a good feeling with this place. Overall, it's been a good night. I got off to a good start with a win in the first race. My start wasn't the best but I had some good lines and was able to close the gap to Taddy and then take the win. "Race two is always a little tricky with the reversed start order but I managed to find a bit of space and find a way through. I had a few mistakes in the final race and just lost my momentum a little. But third was enough to take the top step of the overall podium. With round three in Ma- drid just a couple of weeks away it feels good to have the series lead." Championship contender and Haaker's Rockstar Energy Husqvarna teammate Alfredo Gomez was injured while com- peting in the SuperPole earlier in the evening. The Spaniard was transported to the hospital with a dislocated elbow. CN PRESTIGE OVERALL 1. Cody Webb (KTM) 1-1-3 2. Taddy Blazusiak (KTM) 2-3-1 3. Colton Haaker (Hus) 3-2-2 4.
