INTERVIEW 2014 AMA ENDUROCROSS CHAMPION CODY WEBB P132 I don't think they knew I had the potential to win an EnduroCross title until after a couple of years. It felt great to get the champion- ship for them, and it kind of hurts to leave because I've been with Tim Pilg [US Beta importer] for so long and I got to know him really well. How did the KTM deal come about? Mike Hulbert of RPM Racing approached me before the race at Las Vegas this year and he asked what it would take to get me and I remember I laughed and said, "oh, yeah, that's not go- ing to happen." But then they put together a few outside sponsors and they really put in a lot of ef- fort to put the deal together. They got some factory support too, so it was a mix of a lot of things. I'm really excited about the deal and it sparks new interest and I think I'll be that much more motivated to do well in 2015. Do you know if you'll ride a two-stroke or a four-stroke next year? I'll be competing in the World SuperEnduro Championships, which starts on December 14 in Poland, so since I'm familiar with the two-stroke I'll ride a 300 XC. I haven't spent a single day on the "I THINK I LEARNED HOW TO BE AGGRESSIVE FROM TADDY."
