OFF-ROAD KENDA AMA WEST EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1 / MARCH 21, 2021 AMPHITHEATER OHV AREA / PAGE, ARIZONA P80 Webb led into the fourth and final loop with a small gap over the KTM duo of Hart and Robert. Despite the bottlenecks in all the tough sec- tions, both Webb and Hart put in their fastest laps of the race as they pushed each other to the limit. With the difficult obstacles, the winner was in question all the way to the finish line but Webb managed to hold on, just 39 seconds ahead of Hart after just under four hours of racing. Robert was unable to match the two leaders on that final lap but was a strong third, just four minutes and 47 seconds back. Haaker held onto a fourth-place finish despite his big crash that did a lot of damage to his bike on lap two. He finished 14 minutes and 36 sec- onds behind Webb. Abbott was the final rider to finish four laps during the four-and-a-half-hour time limit. At time of publishing, the remain- der of the top 10 results were unof- ficial, but it appears DeLullo Racing Husqvarna rider Ryder LeBlond finished sixth, just a couple minutes short of completing four laps within the time limit. RPM KTM Rider Will Riordan looks to have taken seventh fol- lowed by Max Gerston in eighth aboard his new GasGas. Beta rider David Garza finished ninth while Husqvarna support rider Noah Kepple rounded out the unofficial top 10. Taylor Robert has won major off-road races throughout the world and is looking forward to focusing on Extreme Enduro events in 2021. He led the first lap but couldn't quite maintain the pace of Webb and Hart on the decisive final lap. Rockstar Husqvarna's Colton Haaker recovered from a tough crash on the second lap to finish fourth. His bike was twisted up but he kept pushing to finish all four laps.
