See you at the turn one!
In 2024, the promoters of the MotoZ FIM SuperEnduro World Championship decided, in collaboration with their partner Airoh, to reward riders who master the art of getting off to a good start. The Airoh Holeshot rewards riders who lead the pack through the first turn. This award is given in the premier category: Prestige, as well as in the Junior category to provide extra motivation to the young SuperEnduro class.
What a night it was for the Bulgarian Grand Prix for Billy BOLT ! The three-time world champion once again achieved a clean sweep, winning the Superpole, all 3 finals, and pocketing the best starter trophy! The Sofia track was a debut for the Bulgarian Motorcycle Federation perfectly driven by Ivo TSVETANOV for the event. The track offered a great mix of speed and technical sections. Right after the start, the competitors entered a sandy section immediately followed by a hairpin and the jump over the finish line. After a chicane with logs, a huge gravel pit made grip tricky. This was followed by another sandy section before a long straight entirely made up of rocks! Another hairpin led to a long and tricky matrix section because of its length and close spacing. The last sector still presented a significant challenge with a pyramid and a mini downhill rocky section. Then it was back to the starting area! Many victim got stuck in the clutches of the Sofia Arena track.
Billy BOLT (GBR-Husqvarna) made no mistakes in this 6th race of the season. He was very efficient at the start and led Eddie KARLSSON (SWE-Husqvarna) and Dominik OLSZOWY (POL-Rieju) in his tail. The race was uneventful for the Briton who won his first Bulgarian final. He finished ahead of LETTENBICHLER (GER-KTM) and KARLSSON! In the second heat, Will HOARE (GBR-Rieju) took the lead under the Airoh gate and scored the second holeshot of the evening. He was followed by Tim APOLLE (GER-Beta) who had an exemplary heat. BOLT won ahead of LETTENBICHLER and OLSZOWY!
In the last heat, the dominance of the official Husqvarna team never wavered for a moment! BOLT took the last holeshot. This time it was Diogo VIEIRA (POR-GASGAS) and LETTENBICHLER who followed him closely. We all know how the story ends: victory for Billy BOLT. This time the Briton prevailed ahead of HOARE and Mitch BRIGHTMORE (GBR-GASGAS). Too weakened in Bulgaria, Jonny WALKER (GBR-Beta) will have three more heats to try to challenge the boss Billy BOLT!
In Junior, Roland LISZKA (H – KTM) took the best with two Holeshots out of three starts! Third Airoh Holeshot Award of the season for the young Hungarian rider!
See you in a few days in Newcastle for a British GP that already promises to be very emotional.
