Bolt Crowned In Germany G reat Britain's Billy Bolt wrapped up his second con- secutive FIM SuperEnduro World Championship after another stel- lar weekend in Riesa, Germany, March 19-20. The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Team rider fin- ished off the championship with a double sweep, topping the final two rounds of the championship. Bolt, aboard the Husqvarna FE 350 four-stroke, thoroughly dominated the 2022 title race, winning 14 out of the total 15 heat races over the course of the championship. In Germany, Bolt won all six (three each night) main events, officially clinching the championship on Saturday. "It's pretty much been the perfect season and to cap things off with a clean sweep here in Riesa is brilliant," Bolt said. "I've really enjoyed things this week- end. Winning the title last night left me pretty relaxed coming into today and I felt like that showed in my riding, and I delivered one of my best performances of the season. To win all but one race this year is pretty special, too. It's been an amazing championship, which has gone so well from the start. The races in Hun- gary weren't easy, and I'm a little frustrated that I got beaten in that first heat there, which is my only loss all year. From my team, fam- ily, friends and everyone around me that supports me, I can't thank them enough. I'll try to let this moment sink in as champion and then look to getting focused and back on the two-stroke for hard enduro next month." The race for vice champion- ship, however, came down to the wire. American Colton Haaker and Great Britain's Jonny Walker were tied on points going into the final day of racing Sunday IN THE WIND P50 Billy Bolt captured his second consecutive FIM SuperEnduro title in Germany.
