Cody Webb Tackles Erzberg Beta's Cody Webb tackles one of the toughest races in the world this coming weekend (May 29 - June 1), the Red Bull Hare Scramble, in Austria. The Red Bull Hare Scramble consists of a four hour race where racers must reach 20 check points during the allotted time to win the event; an accomplishment that very few riders attain. While Webb is one of the few Americans representing this year, his technical skills, endurocross experience, and trials background should make him a contender for the win. 2013's Erzberg champion, Graham Jarvis, remains a favorite; however, Webb topped Jarvis earlier this year in the King of Motos and carries momentum from his Round 1 win in the AMA Geico EnduroCross Series. "I'm very excited to have my first attempt at Erzberg during the 20th annual celebration of the Iron Giant. Many riders are returning this year along with a large group of Americans." The likes of Taylor Robert and Kyle Redmond will join Webb in Austria for this event. Webb goes on to say, "It will be a battle until the end and I hope I have a quick learning curve to figure out the best attack plan. I have faith in my 300 RR and physical conditioning to know that I can run near the top. This is a huge experience for myself and I can't wait to see how I finish at this prestigious event."
Cody Webb Is KING Beta factory rider Cody Webb proved that his win last year at the King of Motos was no fluke. The California native and former Mototrial Champion made quick work of the other racers to take the race win with more than two minutes to spare. The event is the brainchild of off road guru Jimmy Lewis. The race format was changed for 2014 to have riders take place in a two-lap format with the two lap times being combined. Webb was in second after the first race and had to make up a 70 second deficit in the second race to take the win. Webb rode a specially prepared Beta 300 RR. "I had a target on my back going into this year's King of Motos after nabbing the win last year. I have been physically preparing for this race as much as possible and it paid off huge for me! I would've like to spend more time on the bike pre running, but my time was limited. With trials basically embedded in my blood it worked out in my favor during the extreme race. The course had some very difficult parts this year and my bike handled perfectly all day and I had a blast. This was a great way to start off the 2014 season following my late success I had in the Endurocross series in 2013. I'm excited to get back at it and tackle what comes next." Webb explains. Webb's next event is in Italy for the nasty Hell's Gate extreme Enduro on
