Jonny Walker won the Taddy Blazusiak signature Red Bull 111 Megawatt extreme off-road race in Poland, September 6.
The KTM rider took fourth in the qualifying prologue, but went on to take all the marbles in the feature event, taking the win ahead of fellow countryman Graham Jarvis and Swede Joakim Ljunggren. (Poland’s Taddy Blazusiak did not compete.) Walked took the checkered flag three minutes ahead of Jarvis.
“After finishing second last year I really wanted to win badly today,” Walker said. “To be honest I can’t really fault my race too much. I got a decent start and tucked in behind Joakim on the first lap. But it was so dusty, so I made a big effort to pass him and get into the lead. Shortly afterwards I crashed and dropped three places. Pushing hard to regroup I got back into the lead before the first refuel point starting lap two. After that I just tried to ride my own race, avoid trouble and took the win.”
