WEBB BEATS HAAKER FOR RED BULL ROCKS & LOGS WIN

Cody Webb beat Colton Haaker for the top step of the podium at Canada’s Red Bull Rocks & Logs…

This weekend, Wild Rose MX Park welcomed some of the best endurocross riders from around the globe and almost 4000 spectators as it hosted Red Bull Rocks & Logs, a head-to-head endurocross competition on a custom built course.

Riders were faced with the longest and most technical track in the event’s three years in Calgary, along with varying and unpredictable weather conditions from extreme heat to wet and chilly temperatures. As the sport has progressed in the area, this race has begun to attract riders from all over North America and even overseas to see why Calgary is Canada’s home for off road racing.

Last year’s winner Kyle Redmond looked to defend his title in the Pro category but couldn’t outlast the new international talent that came to Calgary for the first time. It was AMA Endurocross champion Cody Webb who took to the top of the podium after beating out the competition by a landslide.

“This is my first time in Calgary but I knew I was in for a very unique competition. I’ve raced a lot of different endurocross tracks all over the world but there’s nothing else like the Red Bull Rocks and Logs track,” explained Webb.

“Most tracks I race are very similar and well groomed but this was very unpredictable with some tricky natural features and tough weather conditions.”

Competing in a head-to-head, knockout format, 125 riders took to the track – divided by class. The 65 riders in the Amateur category had three laps in their qualifying heats and four laps in the final to determine the champion. In the Pro category, the 25 riders raced four laps in qualifying heats, followed by eight gruelling laps in the finals.
