WEBB GETS ONE AT BRAZIL SUPERENDURO
A
fter coming close in the
previous two rounds, RPM/
FMF KTM rider Cody Webb fi-
nally succeeded in derailing the
Taddy train in the Maxxis FIM
SuperEnduro Championship in
Belo Horizonte, Brazil, February
28. Webb battled hard and rode
to a 1-2-3 finish in what was the
penultimate round of the series,
although it wasn't Blazusiak that
he battled with. The reigning
AMA EnduroCross Champion
bested Jonny Walker and David
Knight for the top spot, while
Blazusiak had an uncharacteris-
tically modest night.
"After getting so close numer-
ous times for the overall victory it
feels great to have finally got my
first win in SuperEnduro," said
Webb.
In the first of three main
events Webb fought his way to
the front of the pack. The tight
and technical track suited Cody
Webb's style, and he rode fast
and smooth aboard his KTM
300 to take the win ahead of
Walker, Knight and Blazusiak.
The starting order was
reversed for the second main,
which made things a bit more
difficult for Webb. Dani Gibert
got out to the early lead with
Walker close behind. It wasn't
long before Walker was able to
position his factory KTM in the
lead, and once in control, he
never looked back. Walker took
the second win ahead of Webb,
who was able to wrestle his way
into second place by the check-
ered flag, followed by Blazusiak
in third.
With one win apiece for Webb
and Walker, the gloves came
off in the final race. Right off
the start, the two quite literally
locked bars as they raced for
the lead, and with neither rider
Taddy Blazusiak (111), Cody
Webb (2) and David Knight
(101) battle for the holeshot
in the first race.
