Taddy Blazusiak Takes Another Step Towards 2014 Super Enduro Title



Red Bull KTM’s Taddy Blazusiak laid the groundwork for yet another SuperEnduro title on Sunday night in Barcelona, when he won all three of the Elite Finals to take a comfortable overall victory. 

Blazusiak was joined on the podium by KTM factory teammate Jonny Walker of Britain, who took a strong second place with a 5-2-2 result in the three finals, while Husqvarna's Alfredo Gomez rounded out the podium. 

“Our riders were in great form tonight." KTM Team Manager Alex Doringer commented. "They were very strong and they made no major mistakes. 

"I can say they gave it 100 percent. Taddy was particularly impressive, especially in the second final where riders have to start in the reverse order. He had already taken the lead after the second corner.” 

The crowd of more than 10,000 rose to the occasion in the Barcelona stadium and clearly enjoyed seeing the Enduro specialists tackle the daunting range of obstacles at close range. The track was hard pack but in part was very slick after being dampened down by course marshals. 

Blazusiak now holds a commanding Blazusiak 39 point lead over British Serco racer, David Knight, with Walker a further 36 points further back in third position. 

The World SuperEnduro championship takes a week off before the season draws to a close with the final of six rounds in Tours, France on February 22, 2014.
