Shan Moore | March 30, 2011

Cody Webb took an impressive win at the 41st running of El Trial de Espana in Cahulila Creek, California, the factory Beta rider beating last year’s winner Keith Wineland by a total of five points.

Webb, the current US National Champion, made short work of Saturday’s prologue, dropping just a single point all day. During Sunday’s exhibition, Webb looked impressive on the massive granite outcroppings, dropping points in just two sections (a three and a one) for a final score of five points to take the overall win and the coveted ETdE traveling trophy, his fourth time to do so.

Wineland ended the two-day event in second on his Gas Gas USA-backed TXT Pro with a total of 10 points, while Eric Storz, son of famed tuner Steve Storz came home in third with 31.

Up-and-comer Bryan Roper was fourth with 34 points on his Sherco, while Andrew Oldar rounded out the top five on a Sherco with 41 points.
