ROUND 2/MAY 18, 2013 MONTJUIC OLYMPIC STADIUM/BARCELONA, SPAIN ENDUROCROSS P74 X GAMES ENDURO X BARCELONA to challenge Blazusiak for the AMA EnduroCross title. "This was a good race for me, and Barcelona is a great place to get a win," said Brown. "I won a Supercross race here quite a few years back and I really enjoy coming to Barcelona. I got off to a good start and just kept my head down and didn't look back. I had a few scary moments, but overall I ran a good race." Blazusiak, who won the first of the four X Games Enduro X races in Brazil, pushed Brown hard for most of the race, along with Rockstar Energy/Lucas Oil/ JCR Honda's Colton Haaker and American Beta's Cody Webb, as all four ran in nose to tail for the first half of the race. Brown got a bit of breathing room late in the race when Webb went down on lap eight. Then Blazusiak went down on the final lap, leaving Haaker alone in second. On the final lap, Brown got hung up in a rock pile, opening the door for Haaker, but the Honda rider was too far away to capitalize and Brown rode on to an uncontested win.
