" After two good wins , the overall victory nearly got away from me in the final race ," said Bolt . " My gloves were muddy and it was hard to hang on and go fast , but I knew I had time to chip away and - once I got into second - I took it home for the overall win . We didn ' t get to race in the mountains , but everyone made the best of the situation ."
Behind Bolt , the battle for the remainder of the podium places was tight as German Lettenbichler came second in race two and triumphed in race three to finish as overall runner-up to Bolt .
" It was sweet to win that final race ," said 23-year old Lettenbichler . " I had a good start and managed to hold off Billy at the end . I didn ' t know I got second overall until we finished , so I ' m super stoked ."
Despite an uneasy qualification on Saturday , Jarvis produced one of the surprise performances on the day and proved himself a model of consistency - a trio of fourth place results earning him third overall .
" After the news late on Thursday evening that the original event format wouldn ' t go ahead ," said Jarvis . " I think everyone - especially the event organisers - made the best of a difficult situation . The mountains are more my style so , to be honest , I ' ve surprised myself with third overall ."
Sherco Factory Racing ' s Wade Young was another to perform well in the Endurocross with a 4-3-5 scorecard earning him fourth overall leaving Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing ' s Alfredo Gomez fifth .
FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Series Manager Winfried Kerschhaggl added : " We tried everything possible to deliver a valid alternative of a race after the cancellation of the originally planned main event . With the bad weather conditions adding to the complications already faced , the FIM Jury - based on my recommendation - decided to award no World Championship points for this event ."
