Manuel Lettenbichler: “It was an incredible day. So amazing. Actually, I struggled
on the opening laps of the morning race because I was too nervous and riding
stiff. But after that I relaxed and got my head into it. I’m happy with how the sec-
ond race went. I was exhausted during the final few laps and was simply trying to
avoid entering survival mode. When Taddy passed me it fired me up and the race
was back on. I managed to pass him back to get the win. I think we put on a great
race for the fans and made for a great end to the season.”
What made GetzenRodeo so demanding this year?
“All of the sections are proper hard and technical and there’s not much chance
to rest in between. I was just trying to take them individually. I tried not to rush
them and clean each one as best I could. Once you started struggling you lost a
lot of power and energy.”
Along with what you’ve just achieved at GetzenRodeo, your Red Bull Ro-
maniacs win must also stand as an incredible moment of the year?
