FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Cody Webb had a great
start to the 2018 extreme enduro season as he took
a convincing win at the RevLimiter Extreme Enduro
in Decatur, Texas. Riding aboard the all-new KTM 250
XC-W TPI (fuel injected two-stroke), Webb swept all
three motos to earn a perfect score for the day, top-
ping SRT Off-road’s Cory Graffunder and Beta USA;s
Jordan Ashburn.
Webb began his dominance on Saturday, where he
topped the timed qualifying sessions to earn pole posi-
tion for Sunday’s racing. The event hosted a three-race
format, each consisting of a slightly different challenge
for the riders. In race one, Webb didn’t get the best
start but he battled with the other riders until he was
able to make a move into the lead position. From there,
Webb opened up a gap on the rest of the field to ul-
timately take the first win after one and half hours of
racing.
The second race of the day was a one-hour competi-
tion. Webb once again got off to a slow start but he
patiently waited for his opportunity to attack. It didn’t
take long for Webb to put himself out front and he
rode on to ultimately finish more than seven minutes
ahead of the competition.
The third and final race of the day was perhaps the
most challenging of them all, despite being the short-
est in time. With only 45 minutes of racing, Webb
jumped to the front right away and worked hard to
create a gap on the rest of the field. The third and final
loop of the day proved to be much more technical
than the previous two, which made for a difficult time
to pass lapped traffic late in the race. Despite the ob-
stacles, Webb pushed through to earn his third victory
of the day in Texas.
