![]() After that I pushed again to make a little gap and I made some good line choices in the forest and towards the end to pass them back.” At that point Graham and Wade went passed me. Immediately after the service point I took it easy on the super steep downhill but I crashed and my bike was going down, and I was sliding further down, I had to climb up to get it and keep going. Congrats to Mani, he did a masterclass of riding today. ![]() Lettenbichler finished almost eight minutes clear of Teodore Kabakchiev who had another storming day, finishing P2 and sits second overall: “ It was pretty extreme today, near the end I was going all out and hoping there weren’t any other hard bits left.I’m good now but if you ask me in an hour I’ll probably be dead! I knew the guys behind were fast, so I pushed a bit more and I’m so happy to make it first to the finish. After we had a riverbed and from there the race was quite fast. After the service point we had a super-gnarly downhill and almost lost it once, I had to throw my bike down once because it was super-steep. I’m really, really stoked. To lead the whole day and to put on a fight with the guys was great, especially after such a long time off the bike.

On day two of his first race back from six months off the bike, Mani looked in the kind of form which has seen him win three Red Bull Romaniacs.If it was impressive how Manuel Lettenbichler could match the pace of Billy Bolt on day one of three in the Serbian mountains, then it is take your hat off time on day two after a blistering ride.HEWC Xross Hard Enduro, day two in a nutshell and rider quotes (results below): Day two results from the Hard Enduro World Championship round in Serbia, the Xross Hard Enduro Rally where Mani Lettenbichler shrugged off six months of rehab to win a tough day, tough for everyone except Graham Jarvis who called it “fantastic”.
