Manuel Lettenbichler (KTM) won the main race at the inaugural Forza Orza in Sweden, round 4 of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. Billy Bolt, back from injury, won Friday's sprint in a tightly contested weekend, but Lettenbichler stretched his championship lead over runner-up Brightmore to 15 points, moving to 117 in the standings.

Winning a brand-new race the very first time it's run says a lot about how well Lettenbichler reads a situation on the fly. It's not about corner entry to exit here — it's reading rock and mud in real time. Bolt taking the Friday sprint fresh off injury is worth watching too; the next round could still get messy.

Winning a brand new race right off the bat, Lettenbichler's just too strong

But Bolt also won the sprint right back from injury, can't get complacent
