On The Pegs
Wade Young finished second thanks to a late race
charge. “Towards the end people were starting to get
tired and I was able to dig a little deeper and keep
going,” said Young. “At one point I was down in sixth
and I was lacking some confidence after struggling
in one of the rivers – that spent a lot of my energy. I
came back strong though and I’m pleased with the
finish.”
Lettenbichler sits third in the WESS series standings
after one round..
“I am so happy with my result and overall I had a
really good race,” said Lettenbichler. “I didn’t realize
at first the gap to the others was so big. I tried to stick
to the same pace on the second lap, but Mario and
Wade must have been flying. I think they probably
pushed each other on the difficult stuff and were able
to maintain a good speed when it got really tough.
Graham also caught me at a few places, but I was able
to stay ahead. It would have been nice to get the win,
especially after leading for over half of the race. But
whatever the result, I am happy with my riding and
it’s been a good start to this year’s WESS champion-
ship.”
