Billy Bolt won Saturday’s Campoo Xtreme sprint at the 24MX Hixpania Hard Enduro, beating newly crowned world champion Manuel Lettenbichler by just 3.5 seconds after more than 74 minutes of racing.
Ashton Brightmore completed the podium only 9.7 seconds behind Bolt, with all three riders completing eight laps and separated by less than ten seconds at the finish.
Bolt Holds Off a Late Lettenbichler Charge
The Campoo Xtreme race ran for one hour plus one lap on a six-kilometre course, and the fight stayed close all the way to the end. Bolt stopped the clock at 1:14:21.8, with Lettenbichler pushing hard in the closing stages.
Mani saved his best for last, setting the fastest lap of the entire race on the final lap. His 8:59.38 was the only sub-nine-minute lap of the day, but Bolt had done enough to keep the world champion behind.

Teodor Kabakchiev finished sixth, with Mario Román the best Spanish rider in seventh ahead of Wade Young and Francesc Moret Clota.
