happy. To be honest, all week-
end, I never felt overly comfort-
able with the track. But it is the
sort
of terrain that tends to push
you out of your comfort zone
a lot. I worked hard and tried
to limit mistakes, which really
paid off here. In the main race,
I was charging the whole time.
I was doing what I could to stay
in front as much as possible.
I'm happy to get the win after an
amazing battle with Mani."
"What a race," Lettenbichler
said. "We were swapping the
lead at the front so often, and
Billy rode well, so congrats to
him. I haven't enjoyed a battle
like this for a long time. I almost
had him at the end. We ran into
each other when I tried to make
a block pass, but it wasn't quite
enough. I think it's clear by the
lead that the two of us opened
up over the rest of the field that
we're both at the top of our
game. If this carries on for the
rest of the season, with the two
of us fighting this hard for the
top step of the podium, it's going
to make the championship very
exciting."
Third place went to Mitch
Brightmore, who also had to
shake off a crash from the
start. The X-Grip Racing GasGas
team rider lost touch with the
two leaders ahead of him but
pulled away from those behind
him. James Moore, who in turn
posted his best HEWC result,
took fourth, and Graham Jarvis
(Husqvarna) rounded out the top
five overall.
