During Saturday’s prologue race, Lettenbichler exhibited a superior performance on the demanding 10-kilometer track, clinching the pole position for Sunday. The main event of Valleys Hard Enduro took place on Sunday, where Lettenbichler maintained his superiority throughout the 16-kilometer challenging course, ultimately securing the first place.
Manuel Lettenbichler: “That was not an easy race! It was hard and hot out there today. For the first lap, I wished I had a fan for my face as I was sweating so much. The pace was really fast, especially on that first lap, but I knew I had to stay out front in order to control the race. I managed to build a bit of a gap and so from there I was able to just ease off a little and maintain a good, solid rhythm from the front. On the last lap, Teo (Kabakchiev) was pushing really hard and so I had to increase my pace a little – he did a really good job today. At the end I gave it everything just to make sure I had enough of an advantage and to keep things safe, but it all worked out and I was able to come away with the win. I’m super happy to get the season started off like this and can’t wait for Erzberg now.”
