Cody-Webb-Endurocross-Champ-12-1-14
Heading into the final round of EnduroCross in Ontario, California, Cody Webb held a 13 point lead in the overall points standings. Max Gerston headed into the round in fifth overall in points, just a mere four points ahead of Mike Brown. In Ontario, a course mixed with large rocks, logs, water, tractor tires, and some more technical jumps challenged the racers.

In Ontario, Webb stayed consistent like he did all year to finish second and claimed his first Geico EnduroCross Championship aboard his Beta 300 RR. Webb comments, “In the main I started behind Taddy and Colton and didn’t want to battle with them and possibly crash. I was patient and held back the whole race and with a few laps to go, Colton went down handing me second. It was an amazing accomplishment and I can’t thank everyone enough for their support this year. It’s been an incredible four years with Beta USA.”

“Coming into this race I only had a four point lead over Brown for fifth in the series.” says Max Gerston. “It was my goal to maintain fifth in the series and have a strong run for the final race. I qualified straight into the main out of my heat race. I got stuck a couple times in the rocks and ended up 8th which was more than enough to secure my spot for 5th in the series. My 350 RR ran great all year and I am stoked to be with Beta again next year.”

Alan Stillwell, Team Manager for Beta USA, comments on the season saying, “The season was fantastic, and to end it with a championship and a Top 5 overall is more than a team manager can ask for! I want to thank Beta USA, Cody and Max for an incredible three years together. I will be providing suspension, testing and technical advice to the team next year and I’m excited to be able to watch from the stands at some of these!”

In the Amateur ranks, Ty Cullins took a TrialCross win and the overall championship for the year. In his Open Amateur race, a first turn crash set him back but he successfully fought his way back to third overall. Cullins reflects, “After winning four rounds this year in the TrialCross class I was able to get the championship. I had a crash in the first corner when I got ran into from behind but I was able to get into the lead and take the win.”

Looking forward, Beta USA will prepare for the first round of the SuperEnduro World Championships in Poland on December 6th with their newest rider, Kyle Redmond.
