Blazusiak had already declared himself to be in top form, getting the best times in the timed training sessions, three seconds below the second classified, David Knight (Kawasaki). The good relationship between the Polish rider and the British track started to be seen in the classifying rounds, where he was also best rider.

In the first final, despite the US rider Brown being the fastest at the start, Blazusiak made a come back straight away as several riders got snarled up, and he set a  fast pace, crossing the checked flag in front of the French rider Antoine Méo (Husqvarna), Brown and Knight.

Blazusiak returned to carry the weight of the second race in the second heat and despite making some small mistakes, easily beat Jarvis and Brown. The Swiss rider Joakim Ljunggren (Husaberg) finished fourth, just ahead of Cervantes, who repeated fifth position.

The third final was the fastest for the Polish rider. ‘Taddy’ was behind Brown, but made the most of a mistake the American make to overtake and once again finished in first place. Cervantes managed to recover from yet another bad start and finished third, although this did not manage to make the current champion look any happier.

In the provisional classification of the championship, Blazusiak has thirteen point of advantage over Brown, twenty over Jarvis and twenty two over Cervantes. The next Indoor Enduro World Cup event will be held in Genoa (Italy) on 5th December

Quotes

Tadeusz Blazusiak: “Obviously I´m really happy after winning the three races. In spite of being a bit tired after the trip from the US, I´ve recovered very well, I felt really good with the track and the bike gave me no problems. It was really important to start well and not get caught up in the conflictive zones. I was able to beat other riders who started better, like Mike Brown, who was a great rival today”.

Mike Brown: “To be honest, I didn´t expect to be on the podium today. But it´s also true that this competition is very like the American EnduroCross and the adaptation wasn´t very difficult for me. I had a great time, the track meant I could go fast, recover, and it also had its technical part. This race was a test for me and after this result, I´m  going to try my luck in Genoa”.

Graham Jarvis: “At the beginning it was unthinkable that I world be on the podium of the event in my own country, but I really like the track and the bike went perfectly. I thought that maybe I´d notice the effects from last weekend´s Scott Trial , but I saw it was instead great training. I hope the next races go equally well”.

Iván Cervantes: “It was a really strange race, I didn´t get the rhythm of the race, I made some mistakes, especially in the first two heats when I was in front and fell. That´s what races are like… but the opposite can happen in the next races. The track was perhaps, to my taste, too fast, I would have preferred it to be slower, but in general it was great for the event”.
