Bolt Wins Again In Romanian SuperEnduro B um knee and all, Englishman Billy Bolt kept his perfect sea- son intact after winning round four of the FIM SuperEnduro Championship in Romania on January 20. The factory-backed rider aboard the FE 350 Husqvarna battled through the pain from the knee that he injured at the previous round. He came into the race in Romania hoping to earn as many points as he could, but again, as he did at the previous race, Bolt came away with the overall victory on the tight and technical racecourse, bolstering his lead in the championship. In the first of three feature races, Bolt, who wanted to quickly make up for a poor-for- him Superpole, jolted his already tender knee on the fourth lap but toughed it out to finish second to his nearest rival in the cham - pionship, Beta's Jonny Walker, by 14 seconds. KTM rider Manuel Lettenbichler was third. Rieju's new signee, Will Hoare, of Great Britain was fourth and Rieju team- mate Dominik Olszowy was fifth. In race two, Bolt took the win in dramatic fashion by passing leader Walker on the last lap. Just three seconds separated the two fierce rivals. Rieju's Dominik Olszowy was third in the race, taking the checkers approximately 20 seconds in the back of two rid - ers ahead of him. GasGas rider Mitchell Brightmore of Great Britain was fourth, and Lettenbi- chler was fifth. Bolt dominated the third and final race, moving from fourth to first early in the race and cross- ing the finish line 20 seconds ahead of Walker. Lettenbichler was another seven seconds back in third. Sweden's Eddie Karlsson (Husqvarna), who topped the SuperPole competition early in the evening, was fifth.
