Round 6 - AMA EnduroCross Series - October 23, 2016
EVERETT, Wash. – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Cody Webb continued his championship bid on Saturday with a big victory at Round 6 of the AMA EnduroCross Series in Everett, Washington. Webb’s second win of the season brought the defending champion one step closer in the head-to-head battle for the 2016 title.

 

Heat #2

 

Webb and his teammate, Taddy Blazusiak, were both seeded into Heat #2 based off their qualifying positions. Blazusiak grabbed the early lead in the heat race, while Webb began in the 4th place position. Webb eventually worked his way up to the lead spot, where he finished just ahead of Blazusiak after six laps of racing.

 

The top two riders from each heat race then entered the evening’s single hot lap where they vied for another championship point and gate pick for the Main Event. Webb laid down the 2nd fastest time behind Colton Haaker, where he entered the EX Pro Main Event with the 2nd place gate position.

 

Main Event

 

Webb got off to a great start aboard his KTM 250 XC-F, where he put himself into a favorable 2nd place position early on. With victory on his mind, Webb charged past Haaker to overtake the lead on lap two. From there, Webb maintained a comfortable lead over Haaker as he secured his second victory of the season in Washington.

 

Webb: “I felt great all day in Everett and consistency was the key to taking the win. The track was awesome – it had a technical matrix with fast jumpy sections as well. My KTM 250 XC-F performed perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with the result.”

 

RPM/KTM’s Ty Tremaine earned his first podium-finish of the season with an impressive 3rd place in the Main Event. European KTM Factory Racing Team’s Taddy Blazusiak finished 6th place in his first race back from injury.

 

Next Event: Boise, Idaho – Nov. 5, 2016
