Red Bull/KTM Extreme Enduro Factory rider Taddy Blazusiak won his third consecutive AMA EnduroCross Title in front of a nearly sold out Las Vegas crowd completing a perfect season where he took all eight event wins...
Taddy didn't miss a beat in the defense of his 2010 title. He came out swinging in the opening round taking a dominating win and continued in style to end the season with a perfect scorecard, victory in every round and the coveted number one plate.
The Las Vegas Finale was unique in that it was a double-header format that allowed the riders to race two 10-lap main events for a total of 50 points up for grabs. When the main event gate dropped for moto one, it was Blazusiak who launched his KTM to hop over the first log and led the group around the first corner. Fellow KTM rider Mike Brown was sitting in the top three but made a mistake and dropped to fifth. Brown eventually moved up one position to finish 4th in the main event while Blazusiak went on to take the win and the 2011 AMA EnduroCross Championship.
'To have a perfect season is amazing.'
“It has been a really crazy year," said Blazusiak on the podium. “I am so happy to win the championship and to have a perfect season is amazing. It hasn’t completely sunk in yet but I am so happy to have been the first to remain undefeated in the series and to wrap up my third consecutive championship.”
After a quick break, the riders lined up for the second moto where Blazusiak quickly moved out front and went on to pull a big lead and take another easy event win to complete his perfect season. Brown had a much stronger second moto and charged his way into 3rd at the checkered flag. Brown’s results earned him 2nd overall in the series, his strongest overall result this season.
Blazusiak’s championship title completes a clean sweep for KTM as the only manufacturer to have won every major national off-road championship.
