At the next points-robbing check both Russell and Hawkins dropped seven poin ts (H re. ho r eight, H ines nine). The 12th and fina l check of the enduro would determine the o verall victor and the battle was between Russell and Hawkins. Before the section, though, Russell suffered a flat fro nt tire and he didn't have eno ug h time to cha nge wh eels. So Russell rode th e entire section with the flat. Desp ite the ha ndicap , Russell maintained the pace in the section to keep within sight of H awkins.
