sich beide Titel holen


Explanation:
Er hat anscheinend zwei Rennen an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen gewonnen, daher wohl "two out of two":

"In 1967, he won the 100-mile race aboard a Triumph during the Daytona 200 weekend, and the next day, he took the 200-miler with an average speed of 98.227 mph. Triumph marked this achievement with the introduction of a new 500 twin for the street, aptly named the 500 Daytona."
