Manuel Lettenbichler completed a flawless weekend at the 2026 Red Bull Tennessee Knockout , winning every stage of Pro Class competition and taking his fourth TKO victory aboard the KTM 300 EXC.
The German controlled the event from Saturday’s Hot-Lap through Sunday’s Final Knockout, while Trystan Hart completed a KTM 1-2 after a close battle with Billy Bolt for second place.
Lettenbichler Fastest from the Start
Mani set the tone immediately in Saturday’s Pro Hot-Lap, posting the fastest time of the field and finishing 32 seconds clear of his rivals. That gave him the best possible starting position for Sunday, where he continued the same form.
He won Knockout Race 1, then took victory in his six-rider group in Knockout Race 2, securing a strong position for the Final.
Perfect Run in the Final Knockout
The 45-minute Final Knockout followed the same script. Lettenbichler took control from the front, avoided costly mistakes and steadily opened a gap over the riders behind.
By the finish, he had completed a clean sweep of the weekend and secured TKO win number four.
Hart Beats Bolt for Second
Trystan Hart also had a strong weekend. The Canadian finished third in the Pro Hot-Lap, only two seconds from second place, before taking second in Knockout Race 1 and winning his group in Knockout Race 2.
In the Final, Hart and Billy Bolt were locked in a close battle for the runner-up position. Hart kept the pressure on and eventually edged out the British rider to finish second overall, completing a KTM 1-2 behind Lettenbichler.
Manuel Lettenbichler
“That was a pretty good weekend, honestly. I’m quite stoked with my riding. I think I didn’t push it too hard, I rode smooth and tried not to make any mistakes, and it really paid off today. I couldn’t believe that I put such a big gap to the guys. I just rode flawless and was able to enjoy the race. The crowd was amazing in the trees, which was a huge help. It’s pretty damn hot for us out there, so it really means a lot to have that support.”
