The 20th edition of Red Bull Romaniacs, held from July 25 to 29, 2023, is considered one of the toughest hard enduro events in the world. Completing the race is already a significant achievement, let alone winning it.

In the 2023 edition of Romaniacs, KTM riders dominated the podium. Manuel Lettenbichler claimed first place, followed by Trystan Hart. Although Husqvarna’s Billy Bolt initially held onto third place, KTM rider Teodor Kabakchiev surpassed him and took the spot.

One interesting aspect of the event is Billy Bolt’s motovlog, where he provides insights into the experiences of the riders. This motovlog gives viewers a glimpse into the highs and lows of participating in a week-long event like Romaniacs.

It is worth noting that Billy Bolt participated in Romaniacs 2023 while still recovering from a shoulder injury. Due to this injury, he couldn’t train as much as he wanted to before the event. In his motovlog, you can even spot the shoulder tape. Despite feeling some weakness, he managed to endure the race without any pain and believes he is now ready to resume full physical training for the next round in Canada.

Although Bolt didn’t make it to the podium at Romaniacs 2023, he considered the race a learning experience. He expressed his intention to be better prepared for the event next year based on what he learned.

Finishing fourth in the race allowed him to maintain his third place in the overall 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship standings. Manuel Lettenbichler currently holds the top position, followed closely by Trystan Hart. Teodor Kabakchiev is trailing behind Bolt by six points, and Michael Walkner from GasGas occupies fifth place overall.
