lap one. A mistake by Bolt halted
his progress, but at the same
moment, Walker came off his
Triumph while jumping across
the tires.
After remounting, both riders
found themselves together on
track, fighting for the lead. Even
-
tually, Bolt got ahead and began
to open up an advantage. With
Walker second, the Brightmore
brothers were neck and neck for
third. Dominik Olszowy was just
behind, piling on the pressure.
Bolt held on to take his second
race win of the night and, with it,
officially secured his fifth con
-
secutive FIM SuperEnduro World
Championship title. Walker held
on to finish as runner-up, just
over two seconds ahead of Ash
-
ton Brightmore.
Walker took the holeshot in
race three before opening up
an early lead on lap one. How
-
ever, he soon found himself
under pressure from Bolt and
the Brightmore brothers, with
the race lead changing hands
multiple times. Bolt, who had
already secured the World title,
wasn't holding back. Despite a
couple of errors, he regained
his composure to move into
the lead when the leaders hit
lapped traffic. Bolt took the
win to make it a perfect night
in Newcastle. Walker held off
the hard-charging Brightmore
brothers to take second place;
Ashton got the better of brother
Mitchell for third.
Bolt secured the overall win,
with Walker second. The Bright
-
more brothers completed the
event on equal points; it was
Mitchell who rounded out the
podium places due to his better
runner-up finish in race one.
Although the championship
title is decided, the battle for the
remaining places rages on into
the final round, scheduled for
March 8 in Lievin, France. Walk-
er, in second, holds a 27-point
lead over Ashton Brightmore,
with brother Mitchell fourth, just
12 further points back.
