Jonny Walker Wins Red Bull Megawatt KTM Enduro Factory Racing’s Jonny Walker has earned a third successive Red Bull 111 Megawatt victory, taking the win at this year’s event ahead of Mario Roman and Graham Jarvis. Fastest qualifier for the 2017 running of the Polish mega-event, Walker set the pace for much of the main race before rear mousse issues hampered his performance during the third and final lap. Seeing his lead reduced to just a handful of seconds, Walker nevertheless managed to remain out front and successfully battle his way across a brutal rock garden just meters from the finish. In doing so he earned a hard-fought Red Bull 111 Megawatt victory – the third of his career to date. Jonny’s next event will be Red Bull Sea to Sky in Turkey on 28-30 October.
Paul Bolton; "Learnt a lot in my
first Redbull Megawatt race. I love that the Hard
Enduro series has such unique races! Keeps
everyone on their toes and nobody in a comfort
zone. Makes it super exciting! 6th place for me
and I'm keen to be back next year! Awesome
weekend. Thanks to everyone who helped to get me
there. Eurotek Ktm Bolts Riding Days Dirt Bike

Walker: “Getting a third Red Bull Megawatt
win feels amazing, it certainly helps put the
disappointment of Romaniacs and Erzberg behind me.
It was a lot closer at the finish than I wanted,
but a win is a win so I’m really pleased I was
standing on top of the podium. Generally, things
went really well – I lead during the first two
laps and felt really comfortable. I had an issue
with my rear mousse on the final lap, so I
couldn't push like I wanted to but half way around
the final lap I had more than a one-minute lead. I
knew I was going to get caught and I got a little
nervous right before the finish, but things worked
out good in the end. Thankfully I managed to get
through the final rock section and across the
finish line ahead of Mario. Megawatt’s been good
to me in recent years so to get a third win here
is awesome.”
