Is Colton Haaker a deserved champion?
The Super Enduro World Championship had one of the strangest endings in the history of the sport. Cody Webb was ultimately robbed of the title, after Colton Haaker managed to advance to a much-needed third place in the last corner. Unfortunately, the way this happened raises questions among many fans, as Haaker's teammate Alfredo Gomez managed to take the word team tactics to a new level. Gomez was waiting for Haaker just before the finish and to make matters worse, he also blocked Pol Tarres, meaning that Haaker was still able to move up from fifth place to third. Ultimately, this led to Gomez's disqualification, but this maneuver gave Colton Haaker the world title at the expense of Cody Webb. So take a look at the footage of the final round here on MXMag and judge for yourself!
