The private rider managed to defeat Billy BOLT during the Akrapovic SuperPole of the German Grand Prix. Undefeated in this exercise for three seasons, BOLT was unable to win due to an injury in his left leg contracted during a crash, earlier in the evening.
But before detailing the misadventures of the leader of the MotoZ FIM FIM SuperEnduro world championship, let's come back to the boys who managed to qualify for this session in the Riesa arena, on a track of which once again made the organizers proud.
Diogo VIEIRA (POR-GASGAS) once again managed to reach the Superpole. The Portuguese privateer ranks 7th (41.870) which gives him the hope of good performance during the 3rd evening of the 2024 season. He is ahead of the 2023 Junior champion, the British Mitch BRIGHTMORE also on GASGAS (41.370). ). The young Englishman continues to progress in a discipline in which he knows he still has a lot to learn. Courageous and determined, BRIGHTMORE continues to climb the hierarchy of the Prestige category. Only 5th, Will HOARE (GBR-Beta) (40.814) is experiencing some difficulties, having managed to get on the podium on two occasions since the start of the season. The Englishman will try to pull himself together during the race.
The local hero of Manuel LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) is in the Top 5 of his national GP. The German is 4th (40.697). It is on his strong shoulders that all the hopes of the German fans who came to fill the sold-out stands of the WT Energiesysteme Arena in Riesa, rest. MANI is beaten by the Polish rider Dominik OLSZOWY (Rieju). 3rd in the Superpole (40.026), the 2022 Junior world champion is getting closer and closer to his first Prestige podium. He is right behind…. Billy BOLT. The world championship leader had a massive moment during timed practice. He slipped from his Husqvarna on the landing of a jump, injuring his left leg. Not as strong as usual, “Billy the Dog” showed all his determination to go beyond the pain. He finished 2nd in the session behind his friend Jonny WALKER. Opportunistic, WALKER set the best time of the evening (39.380) with more than half a second on BOLT. The evening promised to be bright for the private driver who, unfortunately, he will not be able to confirm in the race this great disposition displayed in Superpole.
The next clash for competitors of the MotoZ FIM FIM SuperEnduro World Championship will take place in Romania on January 20 in the town of Cluj.
