Making it five overall victories in a row ,

Husqvarna Factory Racing ’ s Billy Bolt topped the podium at the fifth round of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Budapest , Hungary . Securing three races wins from three starts on his FE 350 , the defending world champion extended his overall championship lead to 33 points . Seemingly Immediately gelling with the course in Budapest , Bolt topped the timesheets during the afternoon practice sessions . Although still nursing a knee injury from round three in
Germany , the track suited his riding style and he was keen to claim race wins after placing a close second in the SuperPole hot lap . Lining up to the second gate from the inside for race one , Bolt got the perfect start . Exiting the first corner in the lead , he attacked the opening two laps to build a four-second advantage . Comfortably out front with three laps to go , Billy fell foul of traffic and suffered an unavoidable crash . Remounting , he carefully managed the remaining laps to secure a sizeable 12-second lead .
