GERMAN SUPERENDURO
F
MF KTM Factory Racing's
Cody Webb proved to be the
rider to beat at the second stop
of the FIM SuperEnduro World
Championship in Germany, Janu-
ary 6, claiming the overall win
and the points lead. Making it a
USA 1-2 on the night and a clean
sweep of race wins, Rockstar En-
ergy Husqvarna Factory Racing's
Colton Haaker ended his night as
the runner-up.
After claiming the overall win
at round one in Poland, Red Bull
KTM Factory Racing's Taddy Bla-
zusiak completed the top three
on the night despite being hit with
a penalty in race two.
"It's great to end the night
with both the overall win and the
points lead," said Webb. "I almost
had it in Poland so to get it done
here in Germany is brilliant."
With the small German arena
filled to its 7000-person capacity,
the Prestige class rolled out for
the Akrapovic SuperPole hot lap.
On a tight and technical course,
any mistakes would prove
costly. Last to tackle the lap,
Webb toppled Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna's Billy Bolt off the hot
seat.
Despite Webb having first gate
pick for race one, it was Haaker
who shot out to an early lead with
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's
Jonny Walker hot on his tail.
Webb had a little bit of work to
do but quickly made the duo a
trio. Capitalizing on a mistake by
Haaker, he seized the lead and
checked out to claim the first win
of the night.
With the start ordered reversed
for race two, Webb found himself
boxed off the start when GasGas
rider Danny McCanney hit the
ground. Digging deep, he cut his
way through the pack to recover
to third. In race three, Webb
got the lead early on and stayed
mistake-free for the final win of
the night and with it the top step
of the podium.
"I feel like I still have a bit
more work to do with regards
race two," admitted Webb. "The
reversed start can be a bit of a
lottery and it's bitten me twice
now."
For Haaker, Germany was a
much-improved performance
