Taddy Blazusiak: 'I was really focused on getting a good start because normally you can never guess when the flag will drop. I got a really good start, which was great. I made it to the top of the first climb in the lead. That made things so much easier for me this year. I felt pretty good early on but then I made a small mistake, which cost me quite a lot of time. I hit a tree stump and ended up quite a long way down a hill I'd already ridden up. I arrived at the check point from the wrong side but they didn't allow me to continue, so I had to go back and come at it the correct way. I dropped from first to about sixth because of that. I chased the riders ahead of me like a maniac from that point. I was riding like I was in an enduro special test - I really gave it everything. I actually worked my way back into the lead quite quickly, and once I was there I just maintained my lead. In the past I've pushed and pushed, but this year, once I knew I had a good lead, I rode smart and took my time. There were some really physical sections of the track, but I really enjoyed it. It's fantastic to win for a fourth year. There were some times not too long ago after I injured my shoulder when I wasn't sure if I'd be racing Erzberg this year. I worked really hard to make sure I was ready, that's why this win means a lot to me. Also, I have to thank KTM and everyone that helped and supported me. It's been another great event and to win for a fourth time is just fantastic.**
