The 2024 world champion has just celebrated his fourth world title. He also treated himself to winning his seventh GP of the season. His performance is flawless as he snatches the trophy for the best starter in England; he is the last winner of the Airoh Holeshot 2024.
The track designed by the Fast Eddy Racing teams receives unanimous praise from competitors and promoters. Former enduro world champion Paul EDMONSON used all his knowledge to offer a fast and technical track to the riders of both categories. The start is straight until the first difficulty: the stone garden. It consists of large stones made treacherous by their lack of grip! At the exit of this zone is a small matrix at the beginning of which is the Airoh Holeshot arch! Then comes the finish line with a spectacular jump immediately followed by a hairpin leading the competitors to another series of obstacles. The next hairpin is composed of large concrete pipes arranged in petals, where it's easy to lose a lot of time. Then it's a new Matrix that takes the competitors towards a new hairpin leading to the starting stone pit. The race evening was fantastic in every way!
In the first race, Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) unleashes the power of his 350cc 4-stroke. He asserts his authority at the first turn ahead of Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) and Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) who started at a good pace. The first final was won by BOLT. For the reversed grid of the second final, LETTENBICHLER signs his first holeshot of the season. He leads the pack behind him. He will be overtaken later in the pack by the two indisputable figures of the discipline: BOLT and WALKER. The two men then engage in one of the most beautiful battles of the evening. The Husky official signs his second race victory ahead of LETTENBICHLER and WALKER. In the ultimate race of the season, Billy BOLT signs a new holeshot. He crosses the arch just ahead of LETTENBICHLER who was very effective last Saturday. The triumph of the Briton is complete. He swept the race and the GP of Great Britain. BOLT also receives the reward of €300 presented by Airoh for this new flawless performance by the quadruple world champion.
SCHMUESER: Solid end of the season
Milan SCHMUESER (GER-Sherco) treated himself to the last reward for the Junior category. The German was solid all evening, grabbing the three best starts! The most unusual was that of the second race, which saw him make a mistake just after crossing the Airoh arch. Eager to finish the season on a high note, SCHMUESER concludes this great performance with another podium. He finished third behind Ashton BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS) junior world champion and Suff SELLA (ISR-KTM). Fifth in the Junior world championship, SCHMUESER has promised to try his luck one last time in Junior with the firm objective of going for the number one plate in 2025.
