"In the end it was crazy,
especially that last uphill" said
Kabakchiev, the winner of the
fourth and final day of racing. "I
messed it up two times and the
second time I was like, no way
I'm getting down again so I just
pulled the bike up, and at the mo
-
ment, I am happy."
The UK's Billy Bolt was
reasonably satisfied to finish
fourth overall due to a recent
shoulder injury keeping him off
the bike for several weeks. The
Husqvarna rider held third in the
overall going into the final day
but lost out to Kabakchiev, who
won the day to move past Bolt to
take the final podium spot. Bolt's
combined race time for the week
totaled up to twenty-one hours
and 40 minutes.
Sherco's Wade Young rounded
out the top five. The South
African was steady all week but
could not quite match the pace
of the top four overall finishers
on any given day. He was fourth
on day one when Kabakchiev
struggled and then finished sixth,
seventh and fourth on days two,
three and four, respectively.
