Third Place Overall Result for Defending Superenduro Champion Haaker at Third and Penultimate Superenduro Event in Spain March 5, 2017 - (Motor Sports Newswire) - With just one round of the 2017 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship remaining Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Colton Haaker sits at the top of the series standings following a third-place overall result at the penultimate round of the championship in Spain. Dominating round two of the series in Germany, Haaker secured 3/2/3 results in Bilbao and now carries an 11-point advantage into the deciding final round in France. Enduring a tough night Haaker’s team-mate Pascal Rauchenecker placed seventh overall. Despite his third place overall result the third round of the SuperEnduro World Championship didn't go quite as Colton Haaker hoped it would. Comfortable on the series’ most technical track to date, the FE 350 mounted rider posted the third fastest time in the Superpole qualifying session before going on to finish in the same position in the night’s opening final. Securing his best result of the event in the reversed start order second final, Haaker finished less than five seconds behind race winner Alfredo Gomez. Bringing his night to a positive close with a third-place result in the third and last final, Colton earned himself a place on the podium alongside Alfredo Gomez and Jonny Walker. Superenduro rookie Pascal Rauchenecker endured a tough night in Bilbao. Competing in only his third Superenduro event the motocross turned enduro racer struggled with the highly technical track. Giving his all throughout each of the three finals, Pascal placed seventh overall having placed in the same position in each of the three finals. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna factory racing riders Colton Haaker and Pascal Rauchenecker will be back in action at the final round of the 2017 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in Albi, France on March 18. Colton Haaker: “It was a bit of a rough night for me. I did my best to salvage what I could but it certainly didn't go the way I hoped it would. It’s hard to say exactly why things didn't go so well for me – I’m normally fine on a more trials like track like this one. But third at the end of a not so great night isn't too bad at all. I’m still leading the championship with one round to go. I’ll work hard during the next two weeks and be ready for the final in France.” Pascal Rauchenecker: “It was a really difficult night for me. The track was much slower and more technical than what we raced in Poland and Germany, I just couldn't find my rhythm and got stuck too many times. It’s certainly been a learning experience but finishing seventh in all three finals wasn’t where I wanted to be. It’s the first time I’ve ever ridden on such a technical Superenduro track.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Colton Haaker put the finishing touches to a near faultless 2017 SuperEnduro campaign at the final round in Albi, France to wrap up a second straight FIM title.

ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING DUO TAKE ON FIVE-ROUND INDOOR ENDURO SERIES MATTIGHOFEN, AUSTRIA – December 3, 2021 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Billy Bolt and Colton Haaker are set to represent Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing at this weekend’s opening round of the 2022 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. The two former champions will form a strong Anglo-American line-up as they fight for the coveted indoor enduro title during the scheduled five-round series. With the 2021 championship cancelled due to the global pandemic, SuperEnduro fires back into life for 2022 with five rounds, held in four different countries. Opening in Poland tomorrow, December 4, the series then travels to Israel in January, Hungary in early February, before closing in Germany in March with back-to-back events. Winner of the last SuperEnduro championship to be held, in 2020, Billy Bolt comes into the 2022 SuperEnduro series just weeks after clinching the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship title and will undoubtedly be one of the main riders to beat on the tight and intense indoor tracks. On form throughout 2021, Bolt has shown incredible pace and skill, especially on terrains that suit his explosive style. Switching to the FE 350 4-stroke for SuperEnduro, the Brit is fired up to stamp his mark on the series. Also looking for success is reigning AMA Endurocross Champion Colton Haaker. Riding as teammate to Bolt on his return to European action, the three-time world champion wrapped up the 2021 American championship just over one month ago, and is not only on form, but also fully dialled in to the unpredictable nature of indoor enduro. Haaker’s last FIM title came back in 2019, when he beat all comers in a championship that went down to the very last moto. Now, the American star is back in Europe and looking to ruffle some feathers. The 2022 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship begins in Lodz, Poland on Saturday December 4, 2021.
