Webb Outduels Hart For Mad Moose Win
C
ody Webb took his third win
in a row in the AMA East
Extreme Off-Road series, this one
at the Mad Moose in Marquette,
Michigan. The Sherco rider won
all three segments, which took
him two hours and 48 minutes to
complete. For the third race in a
row, RPM KTM-backed Trystan
Hart finished a strong second.
This time, he was five minutes
and 33 seconds behind on com-
bined time and just over a minute
behind in the final race. Chile's
Benjamin Herrera rounded out
the podium on his Beta, just over
19 minutes behind the winner.
"That was a really great location
for an extreme race," Webb said. "It
had a little bit of everything for ter-
rain with slick clay, rocks and sand.
It rained a lot in the final section
and that made it really challenging.
There were a couple of hills that
none of us made it up cleanly."
"It was another fun weekend full
of epic battles with Cody Webb,
resulting in another second
place," said Hart, who faced off
with Webb at the Fallen Timbers
Hard Enduro only a week earlier.
Although the Canadian is eager
to take that final step up on the
podium, he admits "I'm super
happy to be battling with Cody.
It's been making the racing way
more exciting."
Eleven-time U.S. Trials cham-
pion Pat Smage finished fourth
on his Sherco. This was just his
second-ever extreme race, and
Smage demonstrated he has no
lack of skill when it comes to the
tough stuff.
"I'm happy to finish in the top
five but bummed to miss out on
a podium," said Smage. "These
guys are good! I had nothing for
anyone on speed on the miles of
mellow trail, but I made up some
time on some of the harder stuff.
