Colton Haaker and Cody Webb round out an American sweep of the podium

FMF KTM's Mike Brown won his second X Games Enduro X Gold medal in Barcelona, Spain. He led an American sweep of the podium as Colton Haaker took a close second on the Rockstar/Lucas oil backed JCR Honda and Cody Webb remounted from a big crash to take third on his Beta.

Taddy Blazusiak, the multi time GEICO AMA EnduroCross champion pressured Brown for the win until a spectacular crash on the last lap took him out of contention for the win. The Polish KTM rider remounted in third position but was passed before the finish by Webb, who had crashed on the same log double earlier in the race. Blazusiak finished fourth with Husqvarna's Cory Graffunder close behind in fifth. Kyle Redmond, Gary Sutherlin, Bobby Prochnau, Alfredo Gomez and Taylor Robert rounded out the top ten.

In the Women's Enduro X, Spain's Laia Sanz thrilled her hometown crowd by coming back from a first turn crash to take the win. Maria Forsberg kept Sanz honest and took the silver medal on her KTM. Sandra Gomez Cantero made it two Spaniard's on the podium by taking the bronze medal. Tarah Geiger finished fourth ahead of Kacy Martinez, who led in the early going.
