an uncharacteristic fourth but it

later," said Soule.
With his second-place finish,
Brown opened up his points lead
a bit over Blazusiak to seven, 112
to 105. With two rounds remaining, it appears that the championship battle will go down to
the wire. Robert holds third with
90 points but is just two points
ahead of Haaker and the surg-
ing Webb who are tied with 88
points each.

by and that pushed Lanza into the pond
in the oncoming lane. Lanza quickly
hopped back into the correct lane but
was passed by Kevin Rookstool. Lanza kept the pressure on with less than
half a lap to go and then Rookstool
suffered a spectacular crash on a difficult step-up double. Lanza was lucky
to avoid Rookstool and managed to get
his Husqvarna 125 two-stroke into the
main. This left Rookstool and Abbott
sitting in the stands for the final along
with Bobby Prochnau, Ricky Dietrich,
Bryan Roper, Ryan Sandoval, Ty Tremaine and Jacob Argubright
Cody Webb was the runner up in the
2012 GEICO EnduroCross Championship and seemed poised to contend
for the title in 2013. But a broken foot
forced him to miss round two in Sacramento, which seemingly eliminated
him from title contention. But Webb's
two consecutive wins in Denver and
Everett has moved him into a tie for
fourth with Colton Haaker. The two
are 24 points behind Brown, so with
25 points awarded for a win, they will
need to finish ahead of Brown in Boise
to keep their hopes alive heading into
Las Vegas.
Taylor Robert used the weekend between Denver and Everett to travel to
Ecuador to compete in the Ukupacha
Extreme Enduro. He won day one of
the two-day event, which he described
as an EnduroCross inside and outside of a bull ring. Day two was only
60 miles but took Robert eight hours
to complete due to extremely difficult
terrain and some navigation issues.
Husaberg teammates Graham Jarvis
and Alfredo Gomez had to team up to
complete the course in over six hours
and be credited with the shared win.
Robert was credited with fourth.
