inherited the lead and it was a
position he would hold until the
checkered flag at the end of lap
three, building a winning margin
of over two minutes.
Behind him, the fight for the
remainder of the podium places
proved close between Blazusiak,
Bolt, Watson and Lettenbichler,
who overcame a slow start.
Fending off a late attack by Bolt,
Blazusiak claimed the runner-up
result in his home race. Crossing
the finish line just seven seconds
behind, Bolt took third, while
Lettenbichler ended his race
in fourth. After setting the early
pace, Watson completed the top
five.
Riding steadily throughout,
Spain's Josep Garcia (KTM) was
sixth, finishing one-minute clear
of South Africa's Blake Gutzeit
(Yamaha) in seventh. Round-two
winner Graham Jarvis (Husqvar-
na), despite not favoring the
sandy terrain, fared well to claim
a top-10 result with eighth, with
his teammate Alfredo Gomez
ninth. Paul Bolton (KTM) round-
ed out the top 10.
