KTM Hard Enduro legend , Mani Lettenbichler , made it three in a row and four Hard Enduro World Titles in total after battling through pain after a crash in the final round at the Hixpania Hard Enduro in Spain . Lettenbichler missed a round due to a knee injury in Serbia earlier in the series but came back blazing . He had already won the first two rounds , so after skipping Round 3 , he dominated on return , winning Rounds 4 , 5 and 6 . Coming into the final round , it was not guaranteed , and a massive crash in the middle of the race saw him slip back as he nursed an ankle but , in the end , Mani secured third spot – and the title .
