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.
