“The track was honestly pretty jumpy compared to what we’re used to in
Europe, but I feel like if the track was ran backwards it would have been a lot
smoother because there was a lot of jumps but all the jumps had terrible land-
ings,” said Webb. “It was probably the most sore I’ve ever been after a race, and I
never even crashed in any of the races. It was just like uphill landings or not steep
enough. It was actually pretty painful just landing in the flat every lap a couple
times a lap.”
Despite a mid-pack start in race one, Webb was quick to carve his way through
the field and work his way up to the rear wheel of leader Blazusiak. Making a
break for the lead, he put his KTM out front and claimed a well-deserved win.
Making the best of the reversed start order in race two, Webb wasted no time in
reaching the front. Building a comfortable advantage he claimed a commanding
19-second victory. Aiming for a hat trick of race wins, the American’s hopes of a
clean sweep unfortunately didn’t materialize in race three.
A couple of early mistakes left Webb playing catch up, finishing an eventual
third. But with enough in hand thanks to his two earlier race wins, Webb topped
the overall podium and with it becomes the new leader of the 2019 SuperEnduro
series.
