Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Jonny Walker continued his success of the past few weeks by winning the British Eddy Extreme Enduro Championship as he held off fellow Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Graham Jarvis of D3 Husaberg in a thrilling final round at Enduroland, Adstone for the championship win.
Fresh back from success at Erzberg and Romaniacs and there was no time to rest for the Raptor Titanium sponsored KORR team, straight into the final round of the Eddy Extreme Championship and all eyes would be on the close battle between Raptor Titanium sponsored riders Jonny Walker and Graham Jarvis.
Jonny started the last round with a 2 point advantage and both riders are on top form at this moment.
The final of the 3 round championship at Enduroland in Adstone would be very
different from the previous rounds, the course a combination of a difficult very
slippy Enduro loop with cambers, wooded sections combined with a superb
outdoor Endurocross track made for a circuit of just over 3 minutes and great
racing in all classes. The format would be 2 x 20 minute races on the full
course followed by 2 x 10 minute races on the Endurocross track, all races to
carry full points for the championship.
Jonny started race 1 with a holeshot with his main rival Jarvis in hot pursuit. Still riding with a shoulder injury from Romaniancs Jonny was riding defensively and for several laps Jarvis kept the pressure on but in the last part of the race Jonny would open up a solid lead as he started to relax and find a good rhythm.
Race 2 would again see Jonny lead from the start but this time from lap one he
was more confident and you could see it in his riding, in the first lap he pulled
out a large gap on the rest of the field and nobody would get close to challenge
him and again he took the chequered flag.
Race 3 would be using only the Endurocross circuit, which is Jonny's domain
and he put on a masterful display with another start to finish win and with that enough points to deservedly win the 2012 British Eddy Extreme Enduro
Championship.
Race 4 was time to relax and have fun, again Jonny took the holeshot but Jarvis was in a much more determined mood and showed why he is such a difficult opponent, managing to pass Jonny and the pair for several laps pushed each other to entertain the crowd, eventually Jonny found a gap in the last couple of laps to take another win.
