IN THE WIND P42 Cody Webb signs with Team Montesa Honda for the 2015 U.S. MotoTrial series. WEBB RETURNS TO TRIALS ROOTS C ody Webb has signed a deal that will see him compete aboard a factory prepared Mon- tesa Honda COTA 4RT for the 2015 U.S. MotoTrial Series, in addition to riding an RPM KTM in the full EnduroCross schedule. The 2010 AMA-NATC Moto- Trial Champion, and reigning AMA EnduroCross Champion, regularly cross-trains on a trials bike and last ran the full U.S. Mo- toTrial series in 2012. Since then he has ridden only four national MotoTrial events, but won three out of those four events, demon- strating that his MotoTrial skills remain at a high level. Webb's accomplishments this year are impressive. The student athlete is competing in three different championship series (second in this year's FIM World Super- Enduro Championship) all while finishing his final year as a me- chanical engineering student. "I'm excited to make my return to the MotoTrial series for 2015 riding the Montesa, and I know that trials is the perfect cross- training tool for the EnduroCross series and extreme events," said Webb. "It will be a fun season making a return to the series I started my riding career in." Webb, a northern California resident, will ride the Pro class with longtime friend Max Nelson as his minder. The team will also feature Andrew Oldar riding the Expert class. Team Montesa Honda, will be headed up by Team manager Martin Belair, a former national rider. "We're very proud of the team we have assembled and we are grateful for the support we have received from Montesa Honda Spain and American Honda," said Belair. The series begins April 11-12 at the scenic Mauldin Ranch outside Amarillo, Texas. Shan Moore PHOTO CREDIT: WEBB ARCHIVES
