Blazusiak Takes Enduro X Gold at Los Angeles X Games2013-08-04 22:26Poland’s Taddy Blazusiak earned his second Los Angeles X Games Enduro X gold medal in three years by riding a flawless main event. The KTM rider withstood heavy pressure first from his teammate Mike Brown and later from Colton Haaker on the Lucas Oil JCR Honda but both riders made mistakes that allowed Blazusiak to hold a narrow gap to the finish. Brown recovered from a few small mistakes to take the silver medal and Beta’s Cody Webb rode a consistent race to take the bronze medal in his first race back from a broken foot. Haaker finished fourth and Monster Kawasaki’s Taylor Robert took fifth. 2013 X Games Enduro X, Los Angeles, Men’s Final Results 1 Taddy Blazusiak 2 Mike Brown 3 Cody Webb 4 Colton Haaker 5 Taylor Robert 6 David Knight 7 Cory Graffunder 8 Justin Soule 9 Kyle Redmond 10 Gary Sutherlin 11 Destry Abbott 12 Ty Tremaine Watch the video of the Men’s final here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehVVmR6rjgY&feature=c4-overview&list=UUxFt75OIIvoN4AaL7lJxtTg In the Women’s Enduro X, Spain’s Laia Sanz took her third X Games Gold Medal in four tries with a steady ride on her JCR Honda.
