The moto event, much like the main 4400 is no easy feat. There are fast desert sections and plenty of rock waterfalls to go up and down.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe moto riders faced Hammer trail obstacles going up Jackhammer, Wrecking Ball and down Jack North. The riders started with a six-mile prologue taking them near Chocolate Thunder. The event continued in the afternoon with a 14-mile route.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nWhen it was all over Trystan Hart was the top finisher. Hart finished second during the 2020 edition of King of the Motos.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\u201cWhat makes this race special is not just the purse, but the live coverage with helicopters following us - it is like a city in the middle of the desert out here, and it is really cool,\u201d Trystan Hart shared at the finish line.\u00a0\u00a0When asked what had changed from previous years the 24-year-old candidly replied \u201cI guess I am older now.\u00a0\u00a0I have matured.\u00a0\u00a0I was only like 19 when I first raced here.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nOther finishers included:\r\n\r\n2 - Colton Haaker\r\n3 - Cody Webb\r\n4 - Taylor Robert\r\n5 - Cory Graffunder\r\n\r\nImages Courtesy of King of the Hammers","excerpt":"

The popular race is part of the events of King of the Hammers week. \u00a0Much like the four wheeled vehicle course, King of the Motos features high speed desert terrain and rockcrawling over giant boulders. The course can be much harder to navigate on two wheels. Organizer Justin Leineweber threw in an extra element. The entire course was unmarked. Riders had to navigate the course via GPS units.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\r\n\r\nGerman KTM rider Manuel Littenbichler had the lead on the third lap, battling Cody Webb. Unfortunately, Littenbhichler somehow bypassed the obstacle in Backdoor. He was assessed a 1-hour penalty. 2017 winner Colton Haaker received a similar penalty. The mistakes allowed Cody Webb to take the victory and the crown. Webb missed a checkpoint in 2017 and lost to Haaker. Webb has multiple wins at the King of the Motos. Webb sustained an ACL injury ten months prior to the event sidelining him from racing.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\u201cThe first lap everyone was taking turns leading, making mistakes. I kind of didn\u2019t make the best decision on tires but it lasted. I ran a standard tire, just because I knew it\u2019d last, and it really kicked my butt,\u201d Webb said. \u201cSo, the first two laps I struggled, and I did all I could to hang with Manny, just to stay in his rear wheel. That last half I had a way better tire setup. And then I shot up Backdoor, and I saw him miss it, and then it was like \u201cOk, I know he missed that checkpoint.\u201d So, once I saw Manny miss that checkpoint on the final lap, I was like \u2018OK, take your time, don\u2019t mess anything up because that\u2019s going to be a big setback for him.\u201d I lost that way a couple of years ago and it sucks. Manny definitely out rode me today.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nFor complete King of the Motos results, check out www.ultra4racing.com<\/a>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nImages courtesy of: King of the Hammers","excerpt":"
