best of the situation .” Behind Bolt , the battle for the remainder of the podium places was tight , as German Lettenbichler came second in race two and triumphed in race three to finish as overall runner-up to Bolt . “ I ’ m super-stoked to take second place , especially in these conditions ,” Lettenbichler said . “ It was still really tough out there , but I ’ m pleased we were able to get some racing out of the weekend . I think the organisers and the promotor made a good decision to scrap the points because this kind of racing is not what the championship is about – hard enduro is a different sport . Everyone did a good job to keep the ball rolling with all the restrictions and changes that had to take place and it was still a nice event , but super muddy . I ’ m pleased to
have come away as runner-up .” Despite initially not favouring the Endurocross format , Graham Jarvis proved exceptionally consistent on his Husqvarna TE 300i , using all of his experience to skilfully race his way around the slippery track . Securing a trio of 4th place results , Jarvis secured a well-deserved third overall . FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Series Manager Winfried Kerschhaggl added : “ We tried everything possible to deliver a valid alternative of a race after the cancellation of the originally planned main event . With the bad weather conditions adding to the complications already faced , the FIM Jury - based on my recommendation - decided to award no World Championship points for this event .”
