really good start and then Billy
caught up to me and he passed
me, and I thought he is riding
good today. He was really strong
in Carl's Dinner, and then I think
he lost a lot of energy and then
we got into more dirt than
and I had a little advantage there
and pushed to the finish."
"Worst ever start," Bolt said of
his second-place finish. "The next
10 minutes was a bit of a blur. I
bent my front disc in that crash
and was pumping my brake the
whole time. At Motorex highway,
I took an extra switchback, and
he [Lettenbichler] went straight.
I took a look at my tire and the
dent in my pipe and thought that I
don't have much left. I focused on
SuperEnduro and got a late start
in testing the new bike, so I am
really really happy."
Hart had a strong day for third.
"Back-to-back podiums, lots of
people would be happy," he said.
"To be honest, I am really not
happy with this year. I put myself
in a good place and I made a lot
of mistakes in that first hour. I
burned a lot of matches early,
so after Carl's Diner I didn't have
much energy left."
Just off the podium was
two-time Erzberg winner Jonny
Walker. The Beta rider was just
over two minutes behind Hart.
