CODY WEBB INJURED
FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Cody Webb
is out of the 2018 Erzbergrodeo after
sustaining a broken foot and a bro-
ken finger in a crash during day two
of the Prologue. The extreme Red Bull
Hare Scramble, held in Austria, serves
as Round 2 of the 2018 World Enduro
Super Series (WESS) in which Webb
was slated to compete in alongside his
European Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
teammates.
“After qualifying 10th, I went out
for the second day of the Prologue
and really early on, it was rough and I
hit a rock or something and basically
swapped really bad and fell off the
bike,” said Webb. I did the best I could
to hold on and saved it but ultimately,
I went down. It’s just really unfortunate
that it wasn’t even a super big crash
but it ended up breaking my foot and
my finger, and somehow the bike was
completely unscathed. At this point, I’m
looking forward to healing up now and
making the best of it.”
Webb had high hopes on attempting
to become the first American rider to
be crowned Erzberg Champion. Finish-
ing as runner-up in 2016 and then third
in 2017, the 2018 SuperEnduro World
Champion was looking forward to try-
ing his bid at the 24th running of the
extreme event. n
