HISTORY
MADE!

timately be an historical day in Grand
Prix racing. When brother Marc won
the MotoGP later that same day, his-
tory was made: The Marquez broth-
ers became the first brothers to win
a Grand Prix on the same day in the
65-year history of the World Champi-
onship.

WEBB'S THE LAST DOG STANDING
A
merican Beta's Cody Webb
tackled the worst that Glen
Helen Raceway in San Bernardi-
no, California, had to offer and
rode to the overall victory at the
2014 Prairie Dogs Last Dog Stand-
ing on June 14. It was Webb's first
attempt at the extreme off-road
race, where he put his trials skills
to good use, and rode a patient
race to take the big win. KTM's
Taylor Robert collected second
ahead of former Last Dog Stand-
ing winner Kyle Redmond, while
Cory Graffunder and Kale Elworth
rounded out the top-five.
The morning's prologue got
things started for the Pro riders.
KTM's Taylor Robert topped the
field ahead of Kyle Redmond,
Webb and Colton Haaker. The
riders then took to the "LDS 2"
course – a daunting nine-mile
course winding through several
manmade obstacles, including
multiple mud pits, the "tubes"
and the infamous "high-dive."
Robert, once again, took the win
with Webb in second, followed
by Redmond and Graffunder.
Riders paired off on the stag-
gered start of LDS 3 with Rob-
ert and Webb kicking things off.
Robert, once again, grabbed the
early lead but yielded to Webb
early on the first lap when he
made a mistake in the rock gar-
den. It was all Webb needed to
get his Beta 300 RR out front,
and from there he never looked
back. Three laps and two hours
later, Webb took the checkers
over Robert and Redmond.
