In the opening round of the 2018 season, it was the reigning World Champion Colton HAAKER (USA - Husqvarna) who was the fastest rider with a time of 45''088! Despite a difficult night, the Californian was able to show his speed and technique during the Akrapovic Super Pole.
Taddy BLAZUSIAK (PL - KTM) had to settle for second place by just 19 hundredths of a second! While double award winner Jonny WALKER (GB - KTM) completed the Top 3, only 31 hundredths from HAAKER!
