willing to back off, only one out-
come was possible.
"We crashed in the first
corner," Webb said. "I got going
again but crashed a second
time. Somehow I managed to
claw my way back to third and it
was enough for the overall."
Although Walker also recov-
ered quickly from the crash, he
wasn't quite as fortunate in the
aftermath. He caught a trackside
banner as he re-entered the
race, which got wrapped up in
his rear wheel. Walker needed
help getting his bike free from
the banner but was then dis-
qualified for receiving outside
assistance.
Meanwhile, it was Knight who
got out front and led the charge.
Blazusiak, who got out to a fifth-
place start, rode patiently up to
second place, and finished there
for a third overall finish (4-3-2).
Second overall went to Knight
who carded a 3-4-1 finish.
Although Blazusiak isn't ac-
customed to finishing third, he
wasn't too disappointed about
his win streak coming to an end.
His eye is fixed on a much big-
ger prize—the title.
"I knew the other guys were
hungry to win and didn't want to
get dragged into the fight," Bla-
zusiak explained. "I set a pace
for myself that I was comfortable
with. I rode three good races
and managed to still get on the
podium. But most importantly,
I've got a 42-point lead entering
the final round in France."
In the Junior category, the
competition heated up between
American rider Ty Tremaine and
Andreas Linusson. They are only
separated by one point after
Linusson took the win at the
penultimate round. Tremaine,
the reigning AMA EnduroCross
Junior Champion, will face off
with Linusson at the finale in
France on March 14 in a winner-
take all championship match.
