KTM Racing News: FIM SuperEnduro Final Round
Blazusiak said: Each title has its own story. I have really been working for this one and its great after all the injuries and all the hard work. I just love what I do and I hate to lose. The game plan tonight was just to collect points and to stay out of trouble. I feel like Im on top world right now. Coming into this race I knew I was in the perfect position to wrap up the title I had a healthy points lead but I still felt some pressure to get it done. Crossing the finishing line as world champion for the sixth time in a row is amazing. Overall its been a fantastic season four GP wins and a world championship and I cant thank KTM, the team and everyone involved enough for the effort they put in.
Jonny Walker: Its amazing to eventually get the win and to finish third in the discipline. This year I learned a lot and Ill come back strong next year. Ive been chipping away at getting an overall win and now finally its happened. In Brazil I was so close but then it all fell apart in the final race. Here in France I felt good on the track from practice. It was a tight and tough track but it seemed to work for me and I got on with the job. I had a good race one but silly mistakes held me back. Then race two I got to the front and took the win. I knew the overall was on the line leading into the final race and this time around I made sure I didnt do anything stupid. Once I got my nose in front I rode smart and got my first SuperEnduro overall win. Its been an eventful season. Im happy to have salvaged third in the championship and can now look forward to focusing on extreme enduro for the rest of the year.
