Husqvarna Factory Racing ’ s Billy Bolt took his second win of the 2022 SuperEnduro season , extending his ch ampionsh ip lead . Bolt qualified with the fastest lap time , followed by two race wins on his FE350 .
Opening the night , Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing ’ s Colton Haaker took the Airoh holeshot only to have a red flag thrown when GasGas Factory Racing ’ s Taddy Blazusiak got stuck on th e first concrete block , catching Vision Track Beta ’ s Jonny Walker . The two riders were unable to free themselves quickly , so the referees were forced to wave the red flag and restart , much to Haaker ’ s dismay .
On the restart , it was Blazusiak who was able to get in front for the holeshot , with FactoryONE Sherco ’ s Cody Webb banging bars with the GasGas rider as they entered the matrix . Bolt was not one to be left behind , and was able to make a blazing fast pass on Webb and move in for the lead . Blazusiak stayed calm and calculated in his riding , and was able to get some breathing room when Bolt stalled just before th e end of th e first lap . On lap 2 , Bolt slid his skid plate on the concrete block , losing even more ground . But luck was on his side when Blazusiak lost a bit of control
