OFF ROAD FIM SUPERENDURO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1 / DECEMBER 9, 2017 TAURON ARENA / KRAKOW, POLAND P56 caught a lot of us out. I managed to claw my way back to fifth, but it wasn't quite enough.

I had some great battles with Taddy but I had the speed to reel him in so that's nice to know. I'm happy to be back and looking forward to fighting for the rest of the series." With a race-two win and third overall, Bolt carded an ideal Su- perEnduro debut in Poland. "I'm really happy with how next round with the red plate—I couldn't be happier."

"I was suffering with arm-pump today but I think the secret is learning to be comfort- able with being uncomfortable again. "The next round in Riesa is the only other venue I've ridden pre- viously, the rest will all be new so that makes a nice challenge. I came back to enjoy my rac- ing and now I'm going into the More than 11,000 fans turned out for the opening round.
