A short 44-minute stage await-
ed riders for the second special
and this time it was Jarvis who
edged out Bolt by four seconds,
with Letti not far behind in third.
The final stage was more of a for-
mality for the German rider, who
kept clear of mistakes in order to
take the overall victory at round
two of the FIM Hard Enduro
World Championship.
"Amazing!" Lettenbichler
exclaimed. "I am honestly so
surprised to have won. I didn't
come here expecting to, but things
began to go my way and I got the
job done. I think yesterday was
the dealbreaker (day two), build-
ing a big lead. But I know luck can
quickly change so I had to keep fo-
cused today. It's been a long time
away from racing so to be back,
and back winning it's amazing."
Delivering a performance
that was nearly as impressive
as Lettenbichler's winning ride,
Kabakchiev won the final stage
in style to secure the runner-up
result. In what was an incred-
ible week for the Bulgarian, he's
shown he's ready to take on the
top ranks of the FIM Hard Enduro
World Championship.
"It's been an unbelievable
week," said Kabakchiev. "I came
here hoping conditions would
suit me and they did. Each day
I gave my best and I think that
was the best way. Hopefully this
is just the beginning and I can
keep racing with these guys at
this level!"
For Jarvis, the Brit again put
his Husqvarna on the podium
with a third-place finish. Jarvis
started out the final day with a
comfortable cushion over Bolt
in fourth. But he was still deter-
mined to push the pace and won
the penultimate special stage.
With two podium results from two
starts, the Jarvis Racing Team
Husqvarna rider now jointly leads
the FIM Hard Enduro World
Championship with Bolt.
"I'm pleased with this podium,"
said Jarvis. "Two from two is
