Taddy Blazusiak has taken his fourth consecutive win of the AMA EnduroCross Series in Boise, Idaho to move closer to claiming the series championship.
The Polish rider’s evening at the Idaho Center got off to a good start after he won his heat race, taking the holeshot and leading for all six laps.
The KTM rider had a more challenging time in the main race, however, lying in fifth just after the gate dropped as Cody Webb surged into an early lead.
However, by turn two Blazusiak had moved up to second and began to gain on Webb, slipping by the Beta rider at the end of the first lap.

Blazusiak held on to first position for the next two laps before making a mistake going into the Tire Turn on lap four which allowed Webb to whip past. But the Polish rider kept his cool and reclaimed the lead at the Firewood turn on the same lap.
From then on it should have been a cruise to the flag for Blazusiak, as he opened up an eleven second lead over Webb heading into the last lap.
But the Polish rider dropped his bike going into the Tire Turn and just managed to keep it running, before remounting and taking the win five seconds ahead of Webb, with Husqvarna’s Cory Graffunder some forty seconds adrift in third.
Blazusiak now needs to score just three points at the final round of the series in Las Vegas on November 17th to secure victory in the Ex Pro Feature rider championship.
