RENO, NV. (September 23, 2017) – FMF KTM’s Cody Webb recovered from a couple of accidents to take an exciting win at the second round of the 2017 EnduroCross collection in Reno, Nevada. The two-time champion came back from two crashes to make a pass on SRT backed Kyle Redmond late in the race to consider the win. Race one champion Colton Haaker also hit the ground multiple times but recovered for 3rd.
Right after several rounds of qualifying put the top thirteen Super EnduroCross riders into the gate pick qualifier, Webb took the win after transferring RPM KTM’s Ty Tremaine. Haaker also made a last lap pass on Tremaine to take second.
The bracket race groups the top 12 riders directly into single lap head to head battles until the final two riders face away from. Webb and Haaker worked their particular way through the brackets to face away in the final for a single reward point. The two riders leaned tough on each other going to the first turn and Webb used the inside collection to his advantage and Haaker ended up hitting the dirt, which permitted Webb to take the win.
When the door dropped for the main event, Redmond got the holeshot coming out of the first change but was quickly passed by Haaker through the first series of obstacles however Haaker crashed in the second convert. Webb was knocked around a bit on the first lap and then crashed at the end of the wood pit, placing him further back in fifth, just ahead of Haaker. On lap 3, Webb turned into the No Joke Lane and Haaker ran into the back of him taking both riders down. They both completed the required move across the No Joke Lane anyway plus dropping back to fifth and seventh respectively.
Kyle Redmond rode a great race on the SRT KTM to take second.

Meanwhile, Redmond rode a steady race out front while Webb and Haaker sliced their way back through the field. Webb caught and passed Redmond for the lead upon lap nine of fourteen. Redmond lost a little more time on panel thirteen when he made the mandatory pass through the No Joke Lane. This allowed Webb to take his very first win of the season with a perfect night, winning the qualifier race, bracket race and main event.
Haaker crashed at least two more time but still proved helpful his way up to third, just a few seconds back from Redmond.
SRT backed Trystan Hart put in another solid trip to finish fourth on his Husqvarna. Noah Kepple rode at the front of the package for the entire main and finished fifth on his GasGas. Tremaine, who comes from nearby Gardnerville, showed a lot of rate during the night but a few crashes pushed him back to sixth on his RPM KTM. Geoff Aaron rode a stable main event to finish seventh on his GasGas. Mason Ottersberg rode a Yamaha to his best ever EnduroCross finish of eighth. Beta’s Ity Cullins finished ninth and Spain’s Joan Pau Segura round away the top ten on his GasGas.
Cody Webb:
“It was a long race so it gave me a long time to recover from the couple of mistakes. The track was really fun tonight and made for some good racing. There were multiple lines in a lot of spots. So , it was great to get the win. I have to thank KTM and my mechanic Robbie, our bike was awesome tonight. ”
Colton Haaker managed to take third despite several crashes during the main event.

Colton Haaker:
“The track was fast and nothing too difficult but thing came out of nowhere on you. The first one was my mistake on the first lap. You couldn’t tell if somebody was going to develop into the Joker Lane and I plowed two people there and went on the bars. I think I crashed a minimum of five times so it was good to get back up to the podium.
Kyle Redmond:
“Yeah, I got a really good start from the outside gate. I was out front and I just tried putting in consistent laps but then Cody caught up me personally and Colton passed me but then crashed. So , second is good. There are not led a race like this for a while so I am happy. ”
