Cody Webb will wear the colors of EnduroCross title sponsor GEICO in the AMA Series in 2014.
“It’s a great feeling to officially be on the GEICO team for 2014,” Webb said. “GEICO’s professional program in Supercross and Motocross is unmatched and I’m sure it will be no different with my team. GEICO has been the title sponsor of the EnduroCross series for years and they’ve been instrumental in raising the profile of the series and the sport. My focus will be to bring as much attention to EnduroCross and GEICO as possible, and the best way to do that is by winning races.”
Hailing from Watsonville, California, Webb, 25, brings considerable talent and a championship pedigree to the GEICO Motorcycle team. He won the 2010 AMA/NATC National Trials Championship in 2010 after which he was hired by the American distributor for Italian off-road motorcycle manufacturer Beta, with whom he still has a factory ride. Webb is also the two-time and defending King of the Motos extreme off-road racing champion. Webb has not been defeated in the event since it began two years ago.
But his focus is now on earning his first championship in the more mainstream GEICO AMA EnduroCross Championship series. The exciting indoor “supercross of off-road racing” is perfectly suited to his skillset.
“I grew up riding in the Trials series where I feel like I really honed my technical skills,” Webb said. “Since then, the past couple of years I have been transferring out of the Trials series and into off-road racing and extreme enduro full-time. The end of last year I started putting a lot of work into the GEICO EnduroCross Series. Thankfully, I came away with my first couple of wins in the series, and that really has me excited about this year. Things are progressing in my career and I have no intention of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, I hope to get my first championship this year with GEICO.”
The EnduroCross Series will take Webb mainstream as he works for victories. Once again, he will be competing at the X Games Enduro X event in Austin, Texas, a competition in which he has earned two silver and two bronze medals in the past. Webb plans a fairly extensive schedule of one-off races as well.
“I have competed in the X Games a few times and always enjoy it,” Webb said. “With this being my first year with GEICO, we will mainly focus on the EnduroCross series including the X Games, but I’m sure I’ll find some other events to race on my off weekends. I just love racing. Hopefully, if everything goes as planned after this season, we can take the team to more and more events.”
Webb will unveil his new look May 2 during the GEICO AMA EnduroCross Championship, fueled by Monster Energy and presented by Lucas Oil season opener at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, the Friday before the Monster Energy Supercross finale, which also takes place in Vegas.
