KTM’s Cody Webb secured a dramatic victory inside the Atlas Arena at round one of the 2015/16 Maxxis FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Lodz, Poland.

Claiming the overall win by the narrowest of margins from KTM’s Jonny Walker, Webb put himself into an early lead in the championship.

With the opening round of the championship eagerly awaited, the Polish fans were treated to an incredibly close night of non-stop action. From the get-go Webb meant business and laid down a blisteringly fast hot lap to top the Akrapovic SuperPole from Taddy Blazusiak and Walker.

Quickly working his way towards the front of the pack for race one, Webb pushed hard to reel in early pace-setter Walker. Capitalising on a mistake by the British rider, Webb took control of the lead and claimed the first race win.

A bad start and getting caught up in some chaos, Webb could only muster sixth in race two. But bouncing back to win the third and final race of the night, he secured the top step of the podium.

Hoping to deliver his home crowd a home win, Blazusiak had a very eventful night. Making his first serious comeback to racing having spent the majority of the summer recovering from illness, the Pole was pleased with his riding. Fourth in race one, third in race two and digging deep to recover to seventh in race three following a crash off the start, he ended his night in third.

Also caught up in the start straight crash of race three, Husqvarna’s Colton Haaker placed one-point behind Blazusiak for fourth overall. However, the American recorded his debut SuperEnduro race win when he claimed an almost start-to-finish victory in race two. Taylor Robert completed the top five overall.

The Maxxis FIM SuperEnduro World Championship continues with round two in Riesa, Germany, on 2 January 2016.
