IN THE
P52
mance of the season, finished as
the runner-up. In what proved to
be the ride of the night, Bright-
more managed his dislocated
shoulder for third place. Karls-
son scored strongly for fourth
overall, while Garcia edged out
Gomez on a tiebreaker to com-
plete the top five.
"It's been another good night
for me," Bolt said. "The track was
difficult to master, but my speed
and timing were good out there.
My main focus was to stay calm
and work through any problems."
Walker said, "The speed was
not quite there tonight to beat
Billy, so I knew I needed to get
good starts and defend my
place as best I could. I feel like I
had a good fire in me tonight."
"I was running on adrenaline
tonight with the shoulder injury,"
Brightmore said. "In a positive
way, it forced me to slow down
and ride without pressure. That
paid off with a podium result."
After three of seven rounds,
Bolt leads with 186 points, fol
-
lowed by Walker with 146, and
Brightmore and Karlsson, who
are tied on 118 points.
