LETTENBICHLER CLAIMS FIFTH ERZBERG WIN

Red Bull KTM’s Manuel Lettenbichler has now equalled the all-time victory record at the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, and done it in the most emphatic fashion possible. Starting from pole position in the Red Bull Hare Scramble, the German worked his way into the lead by checkpoint four and never looked back, steadily pulling away from the field to cross the line almost nine minutes clear of FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart in second. It was a KTM 1-2 at one of hard enduro’s most iconic events, and another chapter in Lettenbichler’s remarkable record at the venue.

The result was set up by a dominant KTM showing in the qualifying Iron Road Prologue, where EnduroGP star Andrea Verona set the fastest time overall – 10 seconds clear of the field – with Daniel Sanders second and Carson Brown third, completing a KTM lockout of the top four positions.

Manuel Lettenbichler: 
“Five wins at Erzberg, I have no words! It’s been an unbelievable race and I couldn’t be happier. I had an alright start, but quickly got in the mix with Mitch [Brightmore] and Trystan [Hart] and they were really pushing me hard. After that I felt so good on the bike and just enjoyed every section so much. It feels incredible to make it five in a row and equal the record. I am speechless!”
