best-known extreme races in the
world.
Webb will be back on his FMF
KTM looking to make it five in
a row. The top off-road racers
from around the world will be
invited to compete and amateur
riders can race on Saturday,
with the top finishers earning
the opportunity to move on to
the Sunday Expert Knockout
rounds. On Sunday, the riders
will compete in a very tough and
spectator friendly multi-round

competing for a $10,000 purse.
