duo battled fiercely as Walker
fended off every attack from
the five-time World Champion.
However, a crash by Walker as
they entered lap five handed Bolt
the race lead, and ultimately the
victory by 17 seconds. Walker
remounted to secure second but
was disappointed by what could
have been. Karlsson enjoyed a
comfortable ride for third, while
X-Grip Racing's Mitch Brightmore
finished fourth. Achieving a
season-best result, Beta AG Rac

ing's Alfredo Gomez completed
the top five.
For
Prestige Final two, it was
Brightmore who grabbed the all-
important holeshot. The young
Brit, who dislocated his shoulder
during the morning training, used
the clear track to his advantage
to control an early race lead. Rid

ing strongly, he led for the first
three
laps before Walker
and
Bolt pushed their way through.
Walker held off Bolt for a further
three laps before Bolt found a
way past the Triumph rider with
about five laps to go. Bolt rode
clear for his second victory of
the night, with Walker second. A
heroic ride saw Brightmore claim
third, with Rieju Factory Racing's
Dominik Olszowy fourth. A three-
way battle for fifth on the final
lap resulted in Garcia completing
the top five.
In race three, Walker was
fastest out of the starting gate.
Once again, he had Bolt on his
wheel tracks as the duo quickly
separated themselves from the
rest of the pack. Walker was
determined to keep his rival at
bay and for five laps maintained
the race lead despite numerous
attacks by Bolt. But with five laps
to go, a mistake by Walker in the
rock garden was enough to let
Bolt through, claiming his third
victory of the night over Walker
in second. Another solid ride
by Brightmore saw him finish
third, with Karlsson and Vieira
rounding out the top five ahead
of Toby Martyn (Stark Future) in
sixth.
Three wins, along with claim

earning his third
consecutive
overall victory of the season.
