ody Webb claimed the victory at round two of the FIM SuperEnduro
World Championship in Germany to take the series lead. Putting together
three strong performances in Riesa, Webb secured two wins from three
starts to top the overall podium. Winning the third and final heat race of the
night, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Taddy Blazusiak placed second overall to
ensure a KTM 1-2 result.
“It feels awesome to come away with the victory here in Germany, as well as the
points lead in the championship,” said Webb. “I think this is my third win here in
Riesa, so I seem to have a good feeling with this place. Overall, it’s been a good
night. I got off to a good start with a win in the first race. My start wasn’t the best
but I had some good lines and was able to close the gap to Taddy and then take
the win. Race two is always a little tricky with the reversed start order but I man-
aged to find a bit of space and find a way through. I had a few mistakes in the
final race and just lost my momentum a little. But third was enough to take the
top step of the overall podium. With round three in Madrid just a couple of weeks
away it feels good to have the series lead.”
As runner-up at the opening round of the series in Poland last December, de-
fending world champion Webb was determined to turn the tables on his KTM
teammate Blazusiak in Riesa. A venue he has made his own in recent years, Webb
immediately got to grips with the fast and flowing track, setting the second fast-
est time in SuperPole.
