Three-time AMA Endurocross champion Cody Webb has joined Yamaha Motor USA and bLU cRu for 2025. Webb's accomplishments also include being a six-time winner of the Tennessee Knockout, a FIM SuperEnduro World Champion, being the first and only American to podium at Erzberg Rodeo, and more. Here he discusses why he left KTM, being with Sherco for five years, his retirement plans, events he has scheduled in '25, and more.

Time for an appointment with the ‘Doctor' It's time to sit down and listen to what the Doctor says, because this week's Torq Moto Podcast show driven by Talon welcomes U.S Supercross and Motocross legend and all-around bloody good guy Doug ‘The Doctor' Dubach. Of course, Doug isn't a real Doctor, but his extensive knowledge of the sport and his long-term relationship with Yamaha as an R&D test rider warrant the nickname. Doug was right there in the thick of it when American Motocross started to boom, especially growing up as a kid riding the hills of Southern California and has been involved in the sport for over 50 years.  Join hosts ‘Jeffro' Perrett and Doc Wobs as they catch up with Doug on the sofas of their makeshift studio at Talon Engineering, where the trio were on hand celebrating Talon's 50th Anniversary and listen to Doug's take on growing up in California as motocross really took root in the USA, what it was like to race AMA Supercross in the 80's and 90's and actually win a round! Doug also discusses his love for racing and why he's still at it in his sixties and in particular being an honorary Brit and coming over to race the VMXDN year after year as well as his role as Yamaha US's bLU cRU brand ambassador. And, of course, Wobs couldn't let him leave the sofa without talking about his involvement in the development of the YZ400F, which effectively changed the game and put an end to 2 Stroke racing at the sharp end of the sport. It's all good stuff and in typical Doug style, he's so laid back and smooth in conversation. The Doug Dubach interview on the Torq Moto Podcast Show will drop this Thursday 18th on YouTube, Spotify and Apple, where you'll also find all the previous shows.

Many of you will recognize David Nash's voice as a regular caller on the PulpMX Show, but there is much more to "Nash" than being a moto fan. David and his wife, Amy, started the youth-development team Blu Cru East, which competes in the GNCC series.
