Cody Webb, the former World Champion, multi-time AMA EnduroCross Champion, and multi-time AMA Hard Enduro Champion has signed a multi-year extension with the FactoryONE Sherco team. Webb has been with the Texas-based team since their inception in 2020. Per team policy, details of the agreement were not disclosed.
“We are grateful to Cody for having put his trust in our brand back in 2020 and we are just as grateful to be able to continue that into the future,” said team President Ron Sallman. “In that time, he has been on the podium countless times, he has won several races and he has been on the cover of the likes of CycleNews Magazine, Dirt Bike Magazine, and others,” continued Sallman. “We couldn’t ask for a better brand ambassador for Sherco. We can attribute the sale of hundreds of motorcycles due to ‘The Cody effect’ as I like to call it. He has also been an integral part of the research and development process with the motorcycles, not only for our race team but for Sherco globally. We are so thankful to have Cody, Morgan, and Teddy back with us.”
During his tenure with FactoryONE Sherco, Webb has finished on the podium in the majority of all events he has entered. He won the AMA Hard Enduro Championship in 2020. He finished P2 in the AMA EnduroCross Championship that same year. He was the AMA West Hard Enduro Champion in 2021. Cody was forced to miss the majority of the 2021 AMA EnduroCross due to a wrist injury the day after the Tennessee Knockout. With that, he did come back to win the final two rounds that year. A second wrist injury would end his 2022 FIM SuperEnduro season as well as the entire 2022 AMA Hard Enduro season. He would finish P3 in the 2022 AMA EnduroCross season despite having had some misfortune in round one. He would have four total podiums and he won the final round in Reno.
Webb won the final round of the 2022 EnduroCross series.
“I am so thankful for the opportunity to continue my racing career with FactoryONE Sherco,” Said Cody Webb. “In just a few short years, we have turned some heads by winning races and proving that the Sherco brand is the real deal. We are continuing to make big gains and I am excited to see where the next few years take us,” continued Webb. “I especially would like to thank Ron and Rhonda Sallman for their trust in me. I also need to thank my technician, Cody One (Richelderfer) for always having my Sherco dialed to perfection. Last but not least, my wife Morgan and my son Teddy for allowing me to continue to pursue my dream job.”
