MANUEL LETTENBICHLER
Manuel Lettenbichler, fifth at Hixpania,
talks about working to get faster:
“I think what I improved on the most
last year was my overall speed. I had the
technical skills but lacked pace on the fast
stuff. I didn’t race SuperEnduro during the
last winter, so that I could work on that.
Following my results at Trèfle Lozérien
AMV I feel that I’ve stepped things up.
I’m looking forward to seeing what I can
do at Hawkstone Park Cross-Country and
the BR2 Enduro Solsona later in the year.
Overall, I feel like I’ve got faster too and
moved another step forward with my
riding. That’s basically all I’m trying to do
at the moment - improve little by little
and the results will come. I want to win
too, but I don’t think you can rush it ei-
ther. That’s how you make mistakes. But I
know I’ll get there because I don’t want to
be the guy leading the championship and
not winning races!”
