VOL. 52 ISSUE 8 FEBRUARY 24, 2015 P33 Walker pass him on the first ob- stacle. Then Walker went down on the second and had to work his way back up from fifth. Bla- zusiak went on to take the win but Walker moved up to second place by the finish line. Blazusiak had a midpack start in the second race where riders start in reverse order. He had a very good line over the firewood and rocks and went wide to pass his way into second, where he set to work battling Knight for the lead. When Knight pushed Blazu- siak wide, it was just the opportu- nity Webb needed to slip by them both and secure the lead. Walker came from behind to take second while Blazusiak held on for third. With the overall at stake, the final race was a nail-biter, as the KTM riders, once again, dueled it out. Blazusiak was the only rid- er doubling over the water sec- tion, which proved to be a big ad- vantage. He went on to take his second win of the night ahead of Webb and Gomez. "It feels great to get four straight wins in the champion- ship," Blazusiak said. "Every- thing feels like it's going better than ever. I knew coming into Mexico that the racing was go- ing to be tight and competitive. But I also knew that if I could just be consistent and put in decent lap times then I could get the top step of the podium. I had some fun battles—especially in the final race with Cody [Webb]—so it's been a great result to win here." Webb's RPM/KTM teammate Ty Tremaine had a stellar night in Guadalajara, and, once again, topped the Junior division. It was Tremaine's night in Mexico, as he took all three Junior race vic- tories and has now regained the points lead in the championship. His nearest competitor in the se- ries, Andreas Linusson, had a sub-par evening with three third- place finishes, yielding a total of 15 points to Tremaine. Fellow American rider Kyle Redmond is also continuing to advance in the championship. The factory Beta USA rider is showing steady improvement, and carded a seventh-place fin- ish in Mexico with his 8-6-5 tally. Due to his recently diagnosed broken wrist, American KTM rid- er Taylor Robert is out for the rest of the FIM SuperEnduro Champi- onship. Robert had been running sixth in the series. Although he was not able to compete, Robert was still on hand in Guadalajara to cheer on his fellow American racers and even help out with so- cial media for the series.
