Red Bull KTM factory rider Taddy Blazusiak was in a class of his own on Sunday at the Liverpool Arena for the opening GP in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship.

Blazusiak comfortably won all three of the seven-lap Prestige Class finals to have an overall winning aggregate score.

The Polish rider led all the way in his opening final and repeated this performance in the third race of the day. In race two he was fifth at the start, had advanced one place by the second lap, was up to second place in lap three, took the lead in lap six and went on to secure the victory.

It was a great start for Blazusiak, who is looking to take his fifth title in this competition that has now been extended to six rounds. His biggest challenger on the night was David Knight (Sherco), who despite a 2-5-2 results, was unable to match the speed and agility of the KTM rider.

Completing the podium overall for the opener was Spanish Husaberg rider Daniel Gibert-Gatell. He edged out Alfredo Gomez, fresh back from competing in the Australian Wildwood Rock and on debut with Husqvarna.

The next round is set for 15 December in Lodz, Poland, where Blazusiak will ride in front of his army of hometown fans.
