P98
first rider to make the main on
an electric bike. Flynn, Gauge
Logan-Key and Creed Kisling
rounded out the top four.
The top 20 riders advanced
to the main event on the short
course for a multi-lap race last-
ing 35 minutes plus one lap.
Bolt quickly
took the lead at the
start and guided the riders into
the Red Bull Ravine for the first
pass at three tough hillclimbs.
A small mistake allowed Hart
to take the lead, and he main-
tained it at the end of the first
lap
with Lettenbichler following.
On the second lap, Hart made
a mistake that let Lettenbichler
take the lead. Lettenbichler kept
a small gap for several laps
until another mistake by Hart
let him extend the lead to over
a minute. Lettenbichler com-
pleted a total of seven laps in
the main event
with a time of
47:53.3 (his combined time for
all three races was nearly three
hours and seven minutes). Hart
finished 52.769 seconds behind
in second place but wrapped up
the title.
"My day went pretty well,
honestly," Hart said. "I recov-
ered from pneumonia, which I
was dealing with
in July, so that
month was a write-off. I went
backwards, actually, because I
was really sick and didn't think
I was going to be here, so it's
been a struggle, but I don't think
it affected me too much today.
Mani and Billy were riding well,
der LeBlond, Quinn Wentzel and
Coran Calvert. Bolt won group
three, followed by Webb, Lewis
and Maverik Thaxton. Riordan
won group four, followed by
Niko Piazza, Branden Petrie
and Braxton Hintze. Karlsson
won group five to become the
which has additional hard sec-
tions compared to TKO one.
Only
the top four riders in each
group qualify for the main event.
Lettenbichler won group one,
followed by Ashburn, Kawelo
Huddy and Ryder Guest. Hart
won group two, followed by Ry-
Will Riordan made a last-lap pass on
Ryder LeBlond to finish fourth and
secure the second position in the U.S.
Hard Enduro Premier Championship.
