As the defending champion, Webb dominated the event from start to finish. Topping the Saturday qualifier, the Beta then won the opening stage of Sunday’s main event before leading home the field in the afternoon stage to claim the King of the Motos victory outright.
Making a successful debut with KTM, Taylor Robert, kept the pressure on Webb throughout the day but was ultimately forced to settle for second.
As the inaugural winner of the race in 2012, Graham Jarvis had his sights set on win #2. But with the mixture of high-speed desert terrain and tough rocky climbs favouring Webb and Robert, the Brit had to be content with third overall.
Missing out on the final step of the podium, Kyle Redmond placed four minutes behind Jarvis in fourth.
