TRIALS TRAINING CENTER / SEQUATCHIE, TENNESSEE

"The day was fantastic," said Webb.
"After Erzberg, I felt like I let everybody
in the States down by having some
arm-pump issues so it was great to get
the win. After training a lot on the Endu-
roCross course, that paid off, because I
am used to the high intensity and Gra-
ham and Mario are more used to longer
events, but it feels good to take the win
and this one was the toughest yet since
Graham pushed me really hard."
"The Knockout stages are pretty
straight forward but that last race was
probably the most intense race I have
ever done, but it was fantastic," said Jar-
vis. "I gave it everything I had and it was
not enough to keep up with Cody for the
whole race so congrats to him."
got stuck in the notoriously tough water-
fall that had stopped many of the other
riders on lap one.
Jarvis kept the pressure on Webb and
even managed to take the lead for a sec-
ond or two on multiple occasions only to
quickly lose it back. This went on for six
laps in what turned out to be an eight-lap
race. Then Webb managed to open a
small gap and squeeze by a few stuck
riders, while Jarvis took a more cautious
wait-and-see approach that ultimately
allowed Webb to extend the gap. Webb
took the win after nearly 40 minutes of
racing, while Jarvis finished a little over
two minutes back. Webb lapped Roman
on the last lap, but the Spaniard man-
aged to hold on for third position.
