World championship front-runner Billy Bolt also contested the TKO weekend in Sequatchie, Tennessee, with the Husqvarna Factory Racing rider sealing the final position on the podium in third place.
“My experience here was great, as always,” Bolt reflected. “I feel very welcomed when I come to the United States, so it’s nice. It’s a challenge as logistically it takes a bit to head over here, but I enjoy it so much and the crowds are awesome – Hard Enduro really seems to be trending in a positive direction on this side of the world. All-in-all, it was a good trip, but third isn’t exactly what I wanted and it’s not what I came here for, but I was happy with how I rode and that was all I had in the tank. The intensity was super-high and everyone rode well, so that made it hard! It was a good weekend.”
