Quotes

Billy Bolt – P1 Overall

“Round one here in Poland is done and it’s been a really solid start to the season. The track was challenging and the dirt made it tricky to push at times, but overall things came together well. I managed the races smartly and felt strong across the night. I had a big moment in race two, but was able to recover and limit the damage, which was important. To come away with the overall win is something I’m pleased with.”

Jonny Walker – P2 Overall

“I’m happy with how round one has gone. It wasn’t perfect, but we showed strong pace with a race win and a solid second in the final. A crash in the first race cost me a few positions, but to leave here second in the championship is still a good start. There’s definitely room for improvement and I’m confident we can be stronger in Germany.”

Josep Garcia – P6 Overall

“This was my first-ever SuperEnduro round and I’m proud of how I rode. Qualifying for SuperPole was a goal and I managed that. I learned a lot during the races and improved each time out. There are skills here that I can bring back to EnduroGP and I hope to race a full season in the future.”

Josep Garcia impressed on debut, qualifying for SuperPole and finishing sixth overall.

Manuel Lettenbichler – P8 Overall

“It took a while to get up to speed again. The pace is high indoors and it’s easy to make mistakes. By the last race I felt more settled and getting a top-five was a good step. We’ll work on the bike and come back better prepared for round two.”
