Bolt Wins Extreme XL Lagares
Hard Enduro
B
ritain's Billy Bolt topped
the podium at Extreme XL
Lagares, round one of the FIM
Hard Enduro World Champion-
ship in Porto, Portugal, May 9.
In what was a shortened
schedule of racing due to last-
minute Covid restrictions, Rock-
star Energy Husqvarna Factory
Racing's Billy Bolt picked up
where he left off following Sat-
urday's qualifying to take the top
step of the podium in Sunday's
Endurocross.
He was joined on the podium
by Red Bull KTM Factory Rac-
ing's Manuel Lettenbichler, with
Bolt's teammate Graham Jarvis
completing the top three.
Following the announcement
that Sunday's originally planned
Main race was cancelled and the
event could only continue behind
closed doors at the Endurocross
venue, following heavy overnight
rain it was mutually agreed by the
event organizer and the FIM that
championship points would not
be awarded at round one, but
that racing would continue.
Fast out of the gate for Final 1,
Bolt charged his way to victory,
which he convincingly backed
up in race two with another win-
ning ride. Aiming for a hat trick
of wins, an early crash in Final 3
derailed the Brit's ambitions. But
with the overall win still for the
taking, he powered his way back
