Slightly different format in Europe. The race format is made up of three qualifying heats and two last chance qualifying races. Now the different part.....Sixteen riders then go on to contest the three finals....and all count...like the 2 motos of MX but 3 motos.... I listed the top ten...then Ricky.....tough to make the final so good efort and to be proud of. 1, Taddy Blazusiak, Poland, KTM 2, Joakim Ljunggren, Sweden, Husaberg 3, Gristobal Guerero, Spain, KTM 4. Xajier Galindo, Husaberg 5, Johnny Walker, Britain, KTM 6. Alex Salvini, Husqvarna 7. Cody Webb, Beta 8. Alfredo Gomez, Husaberg 9. Ivan Cervantes, Gas Gas 10. Dani Gilbert, Husaberg 16. Ricky Dietrich, Husqvarna
Cool vid, thanks. Interesting how different the course is from Endurocross, much faster. Taddy continues to amaze me. Here you see him take the holeshot against the best riders in the world. He is faster everywhere, doesn't make mistakes and doesn't fade very much compared to the rest of the field.
I'm conviced Blazusiak is a Borg. KTM's "6 Million Dollar Man". No one except a robot could dominate like that.
Ricky did well, in a tough format. I was hoping for a Meo like debut..... When Knighter was the man and Antoine beat him heads up in the last Indoor Enduro. I'm not sure, but think it was the same year Taddy beat Knight at a US Endurocross and Knight didn't get the bonus. Both race results had Knight in a helmet throwing rage......
