awesome battle with Taylor and
we were jumping the water so
that was a really fun race and I
am happy to do what I need to
do."
This was Robert's first Endu-
roCross of the season due to his
primary commitment to race the
Enduro World Championship,
which he just concluded with his
first-ever EnduroGP win a few
weeks back. "This is the gnarli-
est two-wheel sport we have and
I only had three days of Endu-
roCross practice." Robert said.
"That is not how I wanted to get
second but I am still happy to
be up here on the podium with
these guys and show that I can
still mix it up with them."
"The track was awesome
tonight, really fun and a great
venue," said Webb. "I made
a huge mistake in the matrix
on the first lap but was able to
work my way past Taylor. When
my chain broke, I knew we had
lapped a lot of riders but I still felt
that I needed to push the bike to
the finish."
Husqvarna's Brown recovered
from a bad start to work his way
into fourth but got lapped late in
the race, ultimately costing him
the final podium spot.
Canada's Trystan Hart had a
breakthrough ride to finish fifth.
The 19-year-old Canadian has
been progressing rapidly and
served notice early in the day
when he set the third-fastest Hot
Lap, beating a lot of the estab-
lished stars of EnduroCross.
