DIRT NEWS
It’s always been my goal to win here and
now I’ve managed to tick that box. It’s the
toughest race in the world and it feels
awesome to have won it.”
Second-placed Manni Lettenbichler (KTM
- GER): “Wade and myself pushed hard
today and rode it like a motocross race – a
six-hour motocross! I gave my best to try
and keep him behind me, but every time I
gapped him, he fought back. My strength
this year was on the hills — I think that
comes down to training, good bike set up
and determination. With a podium result
at three rounds of the WESS championship
things are starting to look good.”
Third-placed Jonny Walker (KTM - GB):
“Congratulations to Wade and Manni —
those guys were really on it for the whole
event. I gave my all today and I’m pleased
with the outcome of this race as I had plenty
of issues during it. But I kept pushing on and
focused on maintaining my lead in WESS.
I’m looking forward to the next round — Red
Bull 111 Megawatt. I’ve won it three times,
so I’ll be pushing for a fourth.”
