Mani as 2nd-placed runner-up . Despite getting caught in a small crash in the first corner at the start of the race , Hart demonstrated his skill and experience to move up to second place by the time he reached checkpoint nine . “ I ’ m so happy to have finished second and on the podium again ! The first corner threw me off initially and , because of that , it felt like I was in a warzone for the first 30 minutes of the race . It was a lot of fun though and when I got to Carl ’ s Dinner , I felt really good and managed to get up into second place . There were some really tough sections , but I put my all in and held on to that position . This is my third podium in a row at Erzberg and this place really does feel like home to me now . I ’ ll definitely be fighting for the win next year !” Mani ’ s victory increases his win streak to 10 in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship , as well as marking his third victory in a row at the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo , making him one of only two people to ever achieve the incredible feat , the other being Poland ’ s Taddy Blazusiak .
