MF KTM Factory Racing's
Cody Webb pulled off his
second overall victory in
the FIM SuperEnduro World
Championship during a night
of wild and frantic racing. With-
standing a dramatic first-corner
crash in the final heat, he dug
deep to secure the top step of
the podium and maintain his
overall lead in the series with two
rounds remaining.
"It was just a crazy race," told
Webb following his podium cel-
ebrations. "I was mentally beat
up from that crash in the final
race. I had a hole in my radiator
and was fighting to stay in the
game. Thankfully I managed to
just do enough to win overall and
that feels so good."
Involved in the same crash in
the final heat of the night, Rock-
star Energy Husqvarna Factory
Racing's Colton Haaker didn't
fare so well in Malaga. Despite
fighting back to fifth and plac-
ing second in race two, it was a
costly mistake in race one that
ultimately saw him end his night
fifth overall.
"Tonight's been a rough
night," Haaker said. "Sometimes
riding well just isn't enough, and
that's how it was for me tonight. I
connected bars with Cody in the
first turn of the third final, which
resulted in a pretty scary crash

"I was a lap down by the time
I got my bike separated from
Cody Webb's and just did the
best I could. I managed to un-lap
myself and got a pretty decent
finish. Not the night I was hoping
for, but my speed was good."
