Walker was also satisfied with his second place overall, especially as he knew the tough Tauron Arena track was going to make every rider suffer. Now, Walker lurks close behind Bolt, who, of course, took the overall win. "I'm really happy with this victory because the GP was far from easy," Bolt said.
