IN THE WIND P24 JARVIS BACK ON TOP R eturning to the top of a hard enduro podium, Bel-Ray Husqvarna Factory Racing's Graham Jarvis scored a record- breaking third victory at the Red Bull Sea to Sky hard enduro in Kemer, Turkey, on Sunday. Determined to better his run- ner-up results from Erzberg's Red Bull Hare Scramble and Red Bull Romaniacs earlier this year, Jarvis made his intentions for vic- tory known with a confident win in the forest race. Starting 10th following his Beach Race result, he laid down the fastest time in the 34.1-mile stage to secure a front-row start for the all-impor- tant Mountain Race. Starting inside the top 10, he quickly set about carving his way to the front of the pack. Moving into third position at the end of the first difficult riverbed, he set about closing in on race leader Jonny Walker. Taking control of the race lead after the first fuel point, Jarvis then opened a gap. Building his advantage in the fi- nal stages of the race he crossed the finish line on the summit of the Olympus Mountain as the 2014 Red Bull Sea to Sky winner. "It feels great to be back on the top step of a hard enduro podium," Jarvis said. "It's been a lean couple of months for me so I'm delighted to win again." Walker, on the Red Bull KTM, held on to finish second ahead of teammate Andreas Lettenbichler. American Taylor Robert com- peted in the event. He stood on the top step of the podium after the Beach stage and went on to finish sixth overall in the final standings.
