SuperEnduro World Champuionship

 

KTM’s Cody Webb put in a stellar ride at round two of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship to claim the overall victory in Poland.

In the Prestige category it was another exciting night with a combative atmosphere amongst the riders, who were subject to many mistakes and falls, including a big pile-up at the start of the 2nd race. 

It was Cody WEBB (USA - KTM) who won on the night, although he was closely followed by reigning World Champion Colton HAAKER (USA - Husqvarna), who was disadvantaged during the third heat by a collision with his teammate. 

"It was not easy,” told Webb. “I learned from my mistake in the first moto in terms of my starting position. So I'm very happy with this end result!”

Billy BOLT (GB - Husqvarna) was third overall at the end of the races, but he was forced give his place to Taddy BLAZUSIAK (PL - KTM), who benefitted from a revised penalty from the FIM. 

The Polish rider originally picked up a 20-second penalty for an unauthorised jump on the first lap, but this was later reduced to 10 seconds. A 3rd place which made a difference of 4 points.

As for the home favourite, Manuel LETTENBICHLER (D - KTM), he finished in 7th overall after losing ground in the heats despite initially making great starts.
