Webb Claims SuperEnduro Victory in Germany

RIESA, Germany – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Cody Webb delivered the goods at round two of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Riesa, Germany to claim the overall win and with it move to the top of the provisional championship standings. Teammate Taddy Blazusiak, winner of the opening round of the series, finished third overall. 

After a strong start to his championship campaign in Poland, where he claimed a runner-up result to Blazusiak, Cody Webb quickly got down to business in Germany. Stamping his authority on the Akrapovic SuperPole with the fastest lap time, he began his night in determined fashion.

Starting race one third, Webb quickly worked his way around leaders Colton Haaker and Jonny Walker to claim the opening win of the night. With the start order reversed for race two always proving decisive, Webb cut his way through the field to place a hard-earned third. Going on to win the third and final race of the night, Cody ended round two on the top step of the podium and with it the took over the championship’s points lead.

Cody Webb: “It’s great to end the night with both the overall win and the championship points lead. I almost had it in Poland so to get it done here in Germany is brilliant. Overall, it was a pretty good night. I won SuperPole and that gave me an added boost of confidence. Like Poland I won the first and final race, only this time I had a much-improved result in race two. I feel like I still have a bit more work to do there, which is something I can build on towards round three in Bilbao, Spain.” 

After securing the overall victory at round one in Poland, in Germany Taddy Blazusiak was hungry to keep his winning momentum going. Despite a poor start in race one he regrouped well to fight his way back up to fourth. In race two, Blazusiak hit the front from the off and initially looked to have claimed a start-to-finish win. But in making the mistake of jumping the concrete pipe obstacle on the first lap, something that all riders were told not to do, he was later docked 10 seconds, dropping to sixth.

Putting that disappointment behind him, Blazusiak put on a charge in race three to finish second to Webb and with it end his night third overall.

The FIM SuperEnduro World Championship continues with round three in Malaga, Spain on February 17th.
