cool. I just took each day as
they came and it sort of worked
itself right. I feel like my old
confidence is coming back to me
now. I'm worrying less about my
knee and that's a good sign. Erz-
bergrodeo is next; I'll be giving it
all I've got."
For Bolt, the Serbian event
was one of mixed fortunes. It
started well with him winning
Wednesday's Straight Rhythm
prologue section, as well as
leading at the end of day one.
But it was day two that ultimately
ousted him from podium conten-
tion. Dropping to fourth, it was a
tall order for the Brit to put that
time back on Jarvis. He had to
settle for fourth overall, however
he still had a hand on the cham-
pionship points lead, even if he's
sharing it with Jarvis.
Young rounded out the top-
five, the South African putting
in his best performance on day
three with two top-three special
test finishes. The Sherco rider
kept it close, finishing only three
minutes behind Bolt.
Rounding out the top-10 was
Rigo Racing's Matt Green, who
topped the FIM Hard Enduro Ju-
nior Cup. The South African held
the lead throughout the three-day
race, becoming the first Junior
race winner in the FIM Hard En-
duro series.
"To win the Juniors is awe-
some and to finish 10th overall is
a perfect way to end the week,"
said Green. "It's great to have
this class this year, to give the
younger riders an additional plat-
form to perform on."
