Blaz-ing saddles

Taddy Blazusiak had his hands full as David Knight and Jonny Walker piled on the pressure at round two of the Maxxis FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Riesa, Germany.
Thoughts of Blazusiak running away with proceedings following his domination of round one in Poland were quickly scotched when both the KTM duo of Knight and Walker grabbed a win apiece in the Sachsen Arena.
Returning to action following the Christmas break, Taddy Blazusiak headed to Germany as the early championship leader having won all three races last time out in Poland.
But with the tight and technical course serving up plenty of action, things were a lot more competitive this time around.
Hot out of the traps, Walker again bagged top spot in the SuperPole to take the first gate pick for race one.
Getting the drop on everyone, Blazusiak took the holeshot to pull out an early lead.
Knight was chasing him in a close second place but Walker was suffering and making mistakes.
Charging hard, Blazusiak managed to gap Knight when the backmarkers came into play and despite a crash on the final lap, he hung on to take the first win of the night.
He crossed the line for third in heat two before ending with second in race three, which was good enough to see the Pole top the overall podium.
