fight for the title.
The Bolt Show continued in
race two with the reverse-grid
start. Taddy Blazusiak was quick
to get off the line and he took
the holeshot, but another stall
from his GasGas and pain from
arm pump meant he was quickly
passed by Bolt and Walker.
However, the six-time World
Champion does not give up eas-
ily and after a big battle with the
two Brits, he clung onto a vital
second place, taking advan-
tage of two late crashes from
Walker. Once again, it was Billy
Bolt across the line first, and an
unlucky Walker third.
The cherry on the top for Bolt
was not only his clean sweep
but the way he managed it; with
barely a single mistake, making
every obstacle look easy, and
with a calm and relaxed style. In
the final race he finished more
than 18 seconds ahead of his
nearest opponent. His champi-
onship lead is now a whopping
50 points, giving him an over-
whelming chance at the grand
finale in Riesa.
The last race of then night
in Israel also saw a great fight
among Walker, Webb and
Haaker with the Beta rider,
Walker, keeping the Americans
at bay and coming out on top,
finishing second behind Bolt.
He also took second overall on
the night. Despite finishing third
in the last race, Haaker narrowly
missed out on an overall podium,
just one point behind Blazusiak.
The Pole clung onto third overall
despite a crash in race three.
