Red Bull KTM’s Taddy Blazusiak took his fourth consecutive 2015 FIM SuperEnduro win in Mexico, leading another all-KTM podium with KTM USA’s Cody Webb and Red Bull KTM’s Jonny Walker picking up the minor podium places.

Right from the start of the event it was the three KTM riders Blazusiak, Webb and Walker who were the fastest in the practice and time practices. It was also a very tight contest for the Super Pole with the three all within one second of each other.

In the opening race Blazusiak took the holeshot only to have Walker pass him on the first obstacle, before Walker went down on the second and had to work his way back from fifth. Taddy went on to take the win, but Walker moved up to second place by the drop of the flag.

Blazusiak had a mid-field start in the second race where riders start in reverse order, however he had a very good line over the firewood and rocks and went into battle with David Knight in the lead.

Then when Knight pushed Taddy wide, Webb slipped by to take the second race win while Walker came from behind to seal second place. Blazusiak finished third and was the only rider doubling over the water and this was a huge time saving for him.

With the overall at stake, the final race was also a cliffhanger between the KTM riders and it was Blazusiak who again took the prize with Webb in second and Walker finishing in fourth place.

“It feels great to have got my four straight wins in the championship,” Blazusiak said. “Everything feels like it’s going better than ever. I knew coming into Mexico that the racing was going to be tight and competitive.

“But I also knew that if I could just be consistent and put in decent lap times then I could get the top step of the podium. I had some fun battles, especially in the final race with Cody, so it’s been a great result to win here.”

Blazusiak leaves Guadalajara with 227 championship points, a lead of 46 over KTM UK’s Knight, with Walker in third on 178 points.
