ody Webb, the defending
GEICO AMA EnduroCross
Champion, had a perfect
evening inside the XFINITY Arena
in Everett, Washington for round
seven of the 2015 championship
chase. The FMF/RPM/Team
Maxxis KTM rider won his heat
race, set the fastest time during
the Hot Laps and then led most of
the 15-lap main event to take the
win and maximum points on the
night. His closest rival, Rock-
star Energy Husqvarna's Colton
Haaker, salvaged second in the
last turn to limit the damage but
still fell to 11 points back with just
two rounds remaining.
FMF/KTM's Taylor Robert got
the evening started with a win in
the first Pro heat race. Haaker,
took second and missed out on
the bonus point that goes to the

Briefly...
The women's class was another
amazing battle among several riders
and in the end, Maria Forsberg, the
former EnduroCross and multi-time
GNCC Women's Champion, took
the win. It was an especially sweet
win for Forsberg as she retired from
full time racing two years ago to have
a daughter. The Washington native
raced the X Games Enduro X in June
and finished fourth in her only other
major race this year. Morgan Tanke
took second on her Beta X Trainer
and Husqvarna' Sandra Gomez fin-
ished third despite racing with bro-
ken bones in her foot.
Rachael Gutish, who finished
fourth in Everett, currently holds the
points lead in the Women's class
with 133 over Shelby Turner and
Sandra Gomez, who both have 124.
Lexi Pechout and Morgan Tanke
are also close with 121 and 120, re-
spectively. The women get to drop
their lowest score before the Ontario
final and Spain's Gomez missed the
opening round in Daytona so she
would take the lead if you drop each
rider's current lowest score.
