Billy Bolt made another strong start in race three, rounding the first corner in second before taking the lead after clearing the rocks. From that point on, he was untouchable for the final 13 laps of the evening.

“Overall, I’m really happy with how the evening went. I was frustrated after race one, because I knew I could have ridden better. Then, even though I came second in race two, I was a lot happier with how that race went – we were able to make some changes to the bike and I tried out some new lines, and that all seemed to pay off. In race three, everything came together and I felt really comfortable out there. It feels great to take another win, and now I’m looking forward to my home race in Newcastle in three weeks’ time.”

Jonny Walker’s impressive performance earned him a well-deserved runner-up finish overall in Budapest, solidifying his hold on second place in the championship standings with two rounds remaining.

“Just finished up here in Budapest, P2 overall with a race win and SuperPole victory! There were definitely some positives to take away, and of course we are going to keep working hard ready for Newcastle in three weeks for my home race which I’m really excited for. The bike was perfect tonight and I have no complaints, so we’re just going to keep making steps every race and well be on that top step soon.”
